Veteran actress Jang Ga Hyun made a candid confession about being a huge fan of BTS member Jimin during the August 5 episode of TV Chosun’s variety program Perfect Life. The 50-year-old actress appeared on the show with her daughter Cho Ye Eun and openly shared her daily routine, which begins with watching short-form videos of the K-pop star.
The confession came when comedian Lee Sung Mi, who was watching from the studio, noticed Jang’s behavior and commented, “I think you’re really into Jimin.” Without any hesitation, Jang replied, “You’re right. I’m having a ‘Jimin illness’”. Her honest and cheerful admission brought laughter to the studio.
Morning Routine Revolves Around Jimin’s Videos
The show captured Jang Ga Hyun’s morning routine, which starts very early. She wakes up before 7 AM but stays in bed watching short-form videos on her phone. The videos she watches are all about BTS member Jimin. She even presses the ‘like’ button on these videos herself.
Her daughter eventually has to come into the room to help her get out of bed and start the day. This funny moment showed just how much she enjoys watching Jimin’s content. When Jimin is mentioned, she gets excited like a teenage girl.
Weight Loss Journey and Health Struggles
During the same episode, Jang Ga Hyun also opened up about her struggles with weight gain after reaching menopause. She shared that she turned 50 this year and noticed her body changing.
“I worked very hard to maintain my weight at 55kg, but after that, everything I ate made me gain weight, and my digestion wasn’t good. I ended up gaining 10kg and reached 66kg,” she confessed.
She realized she couldn’t continue like that and worried it might affect her career. So she made a decision to lose the weight again. She successfully lost 10kg and is now maintaining 55kg. Her dedication to getting back in shape impressed the studio panel.
Special Bond with Her Daughter
The show also highlighted the close relationship between Jang Ga Hyun and her daughter Cho Ye Eun. The mother-daughter duo went on a day trip camping together. They took part in a popular social media challenge where they swapped clothes with each other.
They changed outfits six times during the shoot, showing off different styles and looking like sisters rather than mother and daughter. The video that Cho Ye Eun edited herself received great reactions in the studio.
During their meal together, Jang shared how much she appreciates her daughter. “My friends who don’t have daughters are really jealous of me,” she said. She also recalled a touching memory from when her daughter was in elementary school. “Do you remember when you saved up your allowance to buy me a diamond necklace?” she asked.
She added that whenever she tells friends about her daughter buying her luxury bags, everyone is amazed. Her daughter responded by saying, “I just like seeing my mom look cool and shining”. This heartfelt exchange moved Jang Ga Hyun deeply.
