Korean Actress Lost 14kg, Returns to Filming Just 3 Months After Giving Birth
A Korean actress shows impressive professionalism soon after childbirth by filming and losing weight in a short time.
Recently, actress Lee Jung-hyun has been attracting attention as she appeared at promotional events for “Parasyte: The Grey,” one of the most anticipated horror projects in Korean cinema, set to premiere in April. This marks her comeback after childbirth and family care.
During her first public appearance in years, Lee Jung-hyun shared details of her surprising comeback journey, leaving fans astonished. It was revealed that she gave birth in April 2022 and did not take any rest afterward, contrary to what audiences had assumed.
In reality, she returned to filming just 3 months after giving birth, despite her body not being fully recovered. What’s even more admirable is that “Parasyte: The Grey” is a horror series with many action scenes, which would be challenging even for someone with normal health, let alone a mother who gave birth just 3 months ago.
According to Lee Jung-hyun, when the director of “Parasyte: The Grey” contacted her, she was planning to have a baby as she was already over 40 and couldn’t afford to delay it further. At that time, the director was just starting to write the script’s first part and said he would wait for Lee Jung-hyun, which she deeply appreciated. In response to this expectation, she rapidly lost weight and appeared on set just 3 months after giving birth.
Appearing at the press conference to promote “Parasyte: The Grey,” Lee Jung-hyun showed off a fresh and youthful appearance at the age of 44. It is known that in order to regain confidence in front of the camera, she lost 14 kilograms and has maintained that weight until now.
In “Parasyte: The Grey,” Lee Jung-hyun assumes the role of Choi Jun-kyung, one of the three main characters in the film. Jun-hyung is the captain of “Team Grey”, a special forces team that battles against mysterious parasitic creatures that fall from outer space.
According to the trailer of “Parasyte: The Grey,” Lee Jung-hyun will have many intense action scenes, promising to bring a new impressive project to her acting repetoire.
