Lee Ha-jung Shares Her Weight Loss Journey on Perfect Life

On December 18, during an episode of TV CHOSUN's Perfect Life (퍼펙트 라이프), broadcaster Lee Ha-jung opened up about her motivation for losing weight. The show revealed hints about a client who had lost 6 kg and weighed 49 kg, prompting fellow host Hyun-young to express envy, saying, "Isn't 49 kg more like an elementary school student's weight? I wish I could achieve that!" When Lee Ha-jung appeared, Hyun-young immediately asked how she managed to lose weight. Lee Ha-jung responded, "I really set a strong goal and started with a determined mindset."

She mentioned her husband, actor Jung Joon-ho, noting that he usually doesn't comment on her appearance. However, one day he remarked, "It seems like you've gained some weight in your face." Lee Ha-jung humorously explained that it can be hard to interpret the subtle way people from Chungcheong Province speak, but she understood his implication. From that day on, she committed to a strict regimen, cutting down on carbohydrates like bread and ramen.

Having previously received guidance on the show, Lee Ha-jung also shared that she prepared balanced meals to take with her when going out, ensuring she had healthy options to snack on when hungry. After her weight loss, she expressed her joy, saying, "It feels great to fit into my clothes again. I've returned to my college weight, and it brings back that excitement I felt before meeting my husband."
