But after she put on a little weight for her role in drama "Playful Kiss" (2010), she garnered much attention for her 10kg weight loss in preparation for her subsequent roles in "D-day" and "My father's strange".
Her diet method received much attention in Korean media because of the healthy and gradual way she lost the 10kg over a year and a half.
First, she revealed in an interview that she grew various plants and fruits, like cabbage, chilli pepper, tomatoes and blueberries in the small garden in the balcony of her home. To maintain her health while losing weight, she enjoyed growing and eating the fruits and vegetables in her back garden.
She also made sure to eat Korean cuisine for lunch
and cut down the portion of her dinner, but made sure to include food high in fiber.
She exercised by taking walks,
and going for yoga and pilates classes.
To tone up her legs and relax her body, she stretched frequently and visited oriental medicine clinics for acupuncture treatment.
Using all these methods, she successfully lost back the 10kg she had gained while filming "Playful kiss" over a period of 1.5 years.
