Yoon Eun-hye Opens Up About Family Struggles and Fitness Journey on 'The Manager'










On the October 16th episode of MBC's variety show 'The Manager', Yoon Eun-hye's daily life was showcased, offering a glimpse into her personal and professional world.
Yoon has been living with her manager, who has been by her side for 15 years, for the past seven years. The manager explained, "Neither of us got married, so we ended up living together. It's been seven years now." When asked if she ever wanted to live alone, Yoon replied, "I used to enjoy being alone, but I realized that when I'm feeling down or stressed, it's better not to be alone. My manager knows when I'm feeling lonely or struggling."
The episode highlighted the playful chemistry between Yoon and her manager, with the manager joking, "We used to feel like friends, but now it's more like an old married couple."
The manager expressed gratitude towards Yoon for visiting his father during his battle with cancer, more often than he could himself. Yoon tearfully recalled, "My father couldn't eat for 40 days and was on IV fluids. It was a difficult time with a hectic schedule, but my manager never complained and was thankful for my support. He said his father passed away happily, and I'm grateful for that."
Yoon also opened up about her family, revealing, "My mom was sick recently. My dad was a good person, but we hadn't been in touch for a long time. Recently, things have improved." She continued, "When my mom was discharged, she had lost a lot of weight, yet she still wanted to give me something. My dad came running to see me and apologized, saying, 'Eun-hye, I'm sorry.' He also apologized to my manager, which made me realize we are truly family."
Yoon and her manager visited a gym, where she impressed everyone with her strength. Known as the 'strong girl' in the past, Yoon easily pushed over 200kg on the leg press. The trainer noted that pushing more than twice one's body weight is impressive. Standing at 169cm, Yoon managed to press 240kg effortlessly. She shared, "I have a target weight during my active periods, and I'm currently 3kg below that at 45kg," marking her lowest weight since her debut.
