Actress Yoon Eun Hye has personally clarified comments that led many viewers to believe she had completely given up white rice, carbonated drinks, and alcohol for the past 13 years.

The actress addressed the misunderstanding in a video uploaded to her YouTube channel on July 21, where she introduced her favorite summer beauty products, from makeup to fragrances.

During the video, Yoon Eun Hye spoke candidly about her ongoing struggles with skin troubles, especially during the summer. “No matter what I do, I can’t seem to solve it. Every summer it becomes stressful,” she said. She explained that she had been advised to eliminate foods such as wheat and dairy products to improve her skin, but admitted that making those dietary changes has not been easy.

Yoon Eun Hye then addressed comments that gained widespread attention after her appearance on SBS variety show My Little Old Boy, where it was reported that she had stopped eating white rice, drinking soda, and consuming alcohol for 13 years.

She clarified that the reports were misleading. “That’s not true.” The actress explained that she simply tries to eat multigrain rice instead of white rice whenever possible because she loves white rice too much to eliminate it entirely.

As for soda, she said: “I really don’t like carbonated drinks, but I haven’t completely given them up. When I eat something greasy like pizza, I’ll have one or two sips.”

While correcting the reports about rice and soda, Yoon Eun Hye confirmed that one part of the story was accurate. “It’s true that I haven’t had alcohol for 13 years.” She added that during filming she had explained the distinction, but her clarification was ultimately edited out of the broadcast. “Because of editing and time constraints, it ended up looking like I’d completely given up white rice too, and I felt really guilty about that.”

According to Yoon Eun Hye, the misunderstanding arose because her full explanation did not make it into the final television broadcast. By addressing the issue herself on YouTube, she hoped to correct the misconception and reassure fans that while she makes healthier choices, she still occasionally enjoys foods like white rice and soda in moderation.
