Actress Cho Yeo Jeong reveals strict fitness discipline
South Korean actress Cho Yeo Jeong, known globally for her role in the film Parasite, has revealed the rigorous discipline she employs to maintain her physique at age 46. Despite her love for calorie-dense foods like cake, pizza, and black bean noodles, the actress maintains a strict exercise regimen to offset her dietary choices.
Cho Yeo Jeong shared that after consuming high-calorie meals on film sets, she often performs 100 to 200 burpees late at night, even when exhausted from filming. She also incorporates swimming into her morning routine before heading to set. The actress described her approach as a form of self-discipline, stating that she is often forgiving toward others but remains extremely strict with herself, feeling as though she is "neglecting responsibility" if she fails to meet her fitness goals.
She is currently garnering attention for her role in the series "The Affair Was Just The Beginning," starring alongside Kim Hye Soo.
