On October 15, the YouTube channel Naraesik, hosted by comedian Park Na Rae, released a new episode titled “Lim Ji Yeon | Is It Even Legal to Be This Pretty?”. The episode featured Lim Ji Yeon as a guest, where she discussed her health, sleep issues, and the intense period she went through while working on the hit Netflix series The Glory.
Park Na Rae began by expressing her excitement: “She’s finally here! I’ve heard so much about Lim Ji Yeon from Yoon Kyun Sang and Cha Joo Young, and even Sechan knows her. I really wanted to meet her as a friend of friends.” Lim Ji Yeon responded warmly, sharing that she had even worked out in the morning to prepare for the show, adding, “I did fasted cardio before coming here.”
During their conversation, the actress revealed she has recently become focused on health. “I’ve been obsessed with staying healthy lately. My stamina isn’t what it used to be,” she admitted, prompting Park Na Rae to empathize: “That’s understandable—you’ve been so busy.”
However, Lim Ji Yeon also revealed she struggles with insomnia, saying, “The more tired I get, the harder it is to sleep. It’s really frustrating when I finally get time to rest but still can’t fall asleep.” She described her demanding filming schedule, often working from morning until night with little time to eat. “In the past, I used to skip meals during shoots, but I can’t do that anymore. I realized my body just can’t handle it.”
When Park Na Rae asked whether she was thinner while filming The Glory or The Tale of Lady Ok, Lim Ji Yeon immediately answered, “Definitely during The Glory.” She then surprised everyone by revealing, “I didn’t even think about losing weight back then. I was just so sensitive and tense all the time. I weighed in the low 40 kilograms range.”
Fans praised Lim Ji Yeon for her professionalism and candidness, admiring how she managed to deliver such a powerful performance despite the physical and emotional toll it took on her.
