Actress Kim Ah Joong, who has drawn much attention for her beauty since losing weight, shared details about herself and her journey in a recent interview.
Daum reported that the star, 40, revealed that she weighed 57 to 58kg as a student and lost around 13 kg. She kept the pounds off in her 20s thanks to a grueling exercise routine where she'd jump rope 3,000 times daily.
Kim shot into fame as the star in 2006's rom-com "200 Pounds Beauty," about a talented singer who undergoes surgical re-sculpting to reach her goals. The film rapidly blew up, tackling ideas of beauty and acceptance.
Kim also had a hiatus at Disney+ last year following her work for "Grid" and signed an exclusive contract with Plum A&C in 2023. Two of the more established talents being repped by the agency are Im Si Wan and Kang So Ra.
