Actor Hwang Jung-min has revealed a significantly improved recent status following his declaration to stop drinking.

While actively promoting the film 'Hope' (directed by Na Hong-jin), set for release on the 15th, a video titled "Don't Come! The Three of 'Hope' Deal with Aliens" was released on the YouTube channel 'Elle Korea' on the 1st.

In the released video, Hwang Jung-min captivated viewers with a clearer complexion and brighter facial appearance than before. Comments on the actual video included reactions such as "He looks great," "He seems younger," and "His beauty has improved," highlighting his changed visual.

Previously, in 2024, Hwang Jung-min appeared on 'Pinggeo-go' on the YouTube channel 'Tteun-tteun', revealing that he is abstaining from alcohol. He stated, "I feel my organs are finally functioning properly now. I can sense each organ performing its role. In the past, it felt like they were only detoxifying alcohol. Even waking up in the morning feels incredibly refreshing."

He further shared on KBS Cool FM's 'Park Myung-soo's Radio Show' that he does not drink even a single glass of beer, adding, "It is for my work and also because I am taking care of my health," confirming his continued abstinence from alcohol.

Additionally, model and actress Jang Yoon-ju, who co-starred with Hwang Jung-min in 'Veteran 2', appeared on 'Pinggeo-go' and said, "Hwang Jung-min oppa and I reunited for the first time in a while during the filming of 'Veteran 2'. He told me he was quitting smoking. I remember him saying, 'It's a gift to me after turning 50.' It seems something like that is truly necessary."

Meanwhile, 'Hope' tells the story of 'Beom-seok', the head of the Pohang outpost located in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), who learns from village youths that tigers have been spotted, plunging the entire village into chaos as he faces an unbelievable reality. The film will be released on the 15th.
