Actress Kim Min-ha revealed the reason she lost 17 kg over two years and her diet secrets.

On the 12th, a video titled "You wake up at 5 a.m.?! Revealing Kim Min-ha's daily life and inner thoughts!" was posted on the YouTube channel "PDC by PDC."

On that day, Kim introduced the film she is currently filming, "Let's Shake Our Sun," saying, "It is a story about two terminally ill people who meet and fall in love. It is a very beautiful love story." She added about her co-star Lee Do-hyun, "This is my first time acting with a friend of the same age, so it is a lot of fun."

In particular, Kim revealed that she lost weight for the role. She explained, "The character I was cast as has heart failure. When I looked into it, I found out that patients manage their condition very strictly," adding, "There are many foods I cannot eat, and I have to maintain a consistent weight, so I tried losing weight too."

Previously, Kim revealed in an interview last July that she had lost 16 to 17 kg over two years. At the time, she stated, "The reason I lost weight was 90% for the role," explaining it was a choice to show a new side of herself.

On that day, Kim also shared her exercise routine during her diet period. Visiting Banpo Han River Park, she recalled, "When I was in the middle of my diet, I always walked from Cheongdam to Banpo."

She continued, "Back then, walking was my exercise, but these days I run 5 km at the gym." However, when people expressed admiration for her strict self-management, she laughed and said, "When things get messy, they get messy. Everyone thinks it must be amazing, but there are days when it is not."

Kim also revealed that she usually starts her day with meditation, reading the newspaper, and exercise between 5 and 6 a.m. In particular, she shared her unique lifestyle habit by saying, "After I go out to exercise, I always clean. Cleaning is my joy."

Meanwhile, Kim gained attention for playing young Sunja in Apple TV+'s "Pachinko" and is currently filming the movie "Let's Shake Our Sun" with Lee Do-hyun.
