Korean Actress Ko Jun-hee Shares Her Secret to Height and Diet in YouTube Video

Korean actress Ko Jun-hee recently faced comparisons to fellow actress Son Ye-jin.

On the 27th, Ko Jun-hee's YouTube channel 'Ko Jun-hee GO' released a video titled 'What Did 174cm Ko Jun-hee Eat to Grow Tall!? Mom's Special Kimbap Recipe Revealed.'

Ko Jun-hee, who stands at 174cm and weighs 55kg, is known for her slender figure. A staff member commented, "Because she's so tall and beautiful, everyone asks 'What did you eat to grow so tall?'" sparking curiosity about her home-cooked meals.

Ko's mother shared her 'mixed grain kimbap' recipe, explaining, "I made it to reduce calories when my daughter was dieting. She can eat bland food but avoids salty dishes."

Ko Jun-hee attempted to make kimbap with her parents for the first time, bringing laughter with her clumsy efforts.

Her mother expressed her affection, saying, "I made mixed grain kimbap for her when she went to shoots and when she used to play instruments. We don't include meat because it doesn't digest well when she's sensitive."

Ko Jun-hee shared, "When I was filming a Chinese drama, my mom would come and cook Korean food for me," revealing a story of her mother's culinary support. Her mother added, "When I was in Korea, the staff would ask when I was coming, and when I was in China, her father and brother would ask the same."

When asked about the secret to her height, Ko's parents credited milk, saying, "She drank milk like water when she was young." Ko mentioned, "My dad is tall," to which her father replied, "She has my build but her mother's face. Thankfully."

When asked if they ever thought their daughter was truly beautiful, her parents remained silent. Her father recalled, "When she was in high school, she said she wanted to be an entertainer, but I thought she didn't have the talent for it." Ko Jun-hee added, "They told me I didn't have the face to be an entertainer."

Her father, who saw many celebrities during his time as a pilot, reminisced, "I saw a female actress with such glossy hair. It was different. That actress was Son Ye-jin." He added, "I never imagined my daughter would become an entertainer."
