Actress Shin Min-a recently revealed that she has started managing her diet.
On the 30th, a video titled "(Despite Being Directionally Challenged) Walking Confidently Anywhere: Pretty Kumiho Shin Min-a" was released on the "Gil-yeon" segment of the YouTube channel "Lee Eun-ji."
That day, when asked about her debut process, Shin Min-a said, "I did not debut as an actress. I started as an exclusive model for the 1998 high school magazine 'Kiki.' After that, I filmed a music video for Jo Sung-mo and appeared in the movie 'Hwaseong High School,' which naturally led me to start acting."
She also recalled how she was selected as a model for a high school magazine. Shin Min-a said, "High school magazines were very popular at the time. I applied and came in first place. It seems like it was the first time in my life that I came in first place."
She added, "From my second year of middle school, I became a model and often could not attend school," and candidly shared, "Not going to school because of work was a special vacation and a form of rebellion for me. I felt so good about it."
Shin Min-a also touched on her unique lovable image. She said, "I smile a lot and have a smiling face, so I think people see me as more lovely," adding, "I try to think positively."
In particular, Shin Min-a revealed that she recently started managing her diet and shared her changed daily routine. She stated, "Compared to others, I did not particularly manage my body. Because my natural physique is very good, I was able to maintain it without exercise or diet management."
She explained further, "However, I recently felt that my body was not in the best condition. As pants I used to wear no longer fit well, I realized that it was time for me to start managing myself."
Shin Min-a shared her changed eating habits, saying, "In the past, I had to eat rice and soup as soon as I woke up, but these days I eat a little fruit or vegetables and then have carbohydrates."
She revealed, drawing laughter, that "About two weeks after starting my diet, I dreamed of eating pizza. The next day, I even dreamed of eating tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes)."
