From her early career in Pinocchio and Angel Eyes, to more mature performances in 18 Again, Dear.M, and Our Beloved Summer, Roh Jeong-eui has grown into a versatile actress admired for her authenticity and emotional depth. She once admitted that the more she immersed herself in her characters, the more she matured as both an actress and an individual.
In interviews, Roh Jeong-eui has also spoken about her journey with body image and dieting. At one point, she reduced her weight to just 39 kg at a height of 165 cm, something she later confessed she deeply regretted. Sharing such details online, she feared, may have negatively influenced young fans by shifting their focus from health to weight.
Now, she has replaced extreme dieting with a balanced routine that combines Pilates, structured exercise, and sensible eating. She stresses the importance of “small, regular meals” rather than starvation, and revealed that her body fat once dropped as low as 5.7 kg. Today, she pays closer attention to muscle mass and stamina rather than body weight, often training four to five hours a day.
Her daily eating habits also reflect this shift, with practices like her “reverse meal method” (starting with salad, then yogurt, then cereal for breakfast). She admits to cutting down on snacks but remains practical and realistic about food choices.
The actress now views her physical strength as her greatest asset. “I’ve learned to prioritize muscle and endurance over a number on the scale. Health is my weapon,” she explained, also encouraging fans to avoid reckless diets and focus instead on healthy routines.
Her story is more than a diet confession—it’s a reflection of growth. By acknowledging her past mistakes and embracing a healthier lifestyle, Roh Jeong-eui is setting an example of resilience and authenticity, proving that true beauty and strength come from balance and self-care.
