Actress Ha Ji-won demonstrated her professional approach to managing her physique to match her roles and projects.

On the 7th, the YouTube channel '26hakbeon Ji-won-iyo' released a video titled "Ha Ji-won's Secret to Maintaining 45kg and Her Self-Purchased Sneaker Collection."

The released video showed Ha Ji-won preparing for her morning workout. She shared the recipe for a "lemon booster" made with fresh lemon juice and amino acids, saying, "This is what I always drink during workouts."

She further explained, "Consuming amino acids directly gives me energy and boosts my stamina, so I always bring it with me to filming sets."

When the production team asked what kind of exercises she usually does, Ha Ji-won replied, "It varies depending on the project, as I need to shape my body to fit each role." She added, "Recently, for 'Climax,' I played a character named Choo Sang-ah, an actress who often wore slips. The director said he wanted the actress to look well-managed and preferred the slip to remain on her."

Regarding her weight loss process during 'Climax,' Ha Ji-won laughed and said, "I had to lose weight or I'd get scolded by the director." She continued, "I focused on stretching. I lengthened my muscles and burned off existing fat. Even after losing weight, the director wasn't satisfied, so I kept going until he was pleased."

Explaining her different body management methods for each project, she said, "For 'Secret Garden,' I played a stuntwoman, so I made my body look firmer and more resilient. I also did weight training. For 'Miracle in 1st Street,' I played a boxer, so I had to build my body like a real boxer. I trained three times a day and ate six meals. Creating a workout plan and diet tailored to the role is always necessary during the pre-production phase of character development."

She emphasized, "Professionals must take full responsibility for the deposit," showcasing her professional demeanor.
