South Korean Actress Lee Si-young Reveals Shocking Physical Condition and Personal Life Updates

South Korean actress Lee Si-young recently shared surprising details about her physical condition.

On October 23, a video titled 'Lee Si-young, Jung Sang-hoon, Kim Da-som EP.98: Lee Si-young Witnesses a Legendary Scene During Filming - The Hidden Charm of Jung Sang-hoon' was uploaded to Shin Dong-yup's YouTube channel 'Jjanhanyoung.' The video featured the lead actors of the ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 'Salon de Holmes,' including Lee Si-young, Jung Sang-hoon, and Kim Da-som, discussing various topics.

Lee Si-young visited the filming set with her son, explaining, "Today is the day our nanny leaves, so I had no choice but to bring him along." Shin Dong-yup asked her son, "Have you seen uncle on TV?" and then handed him some pocket money.

Lee Si-young is known for engaging in various activities like camping, water sports, and hiking with her son. In January, she made headlines by climbing the Himalayas with him, stating, "I went thinking it would be the last time," and added, "Jung-yoon (her son) is skinnier than kids his age, which made it possible."

Shin Dong-yup inquired, "Wasn't he scared?" to which Lee Si-young replied, "Kids actually do better. They have no fear and much better stamina. They seem to handle altitude sickness better too."

Lee Si-young explained, "Jung-yoon climbed as far as he could. At the high camp, where it was icy and dangerous, I carried him up."

The Himalayan trek was a significant experience for her son. Lee Si-young noted, "Jung-yoon's self-esteem skyrocketed. While many of his friends have traveled, none have been to the Himalayas, so he was thrilled."

Shin Dong-yup expressed admiration, saying, "That's amazing. It shows how strong the bond between mother and son is."

Co-star Kim Da-som referred to Lee Si-young as a 'Tetonyeo' (a woman with high testosterone levels). Lee Si-young revealed that her testosterone levels were so high that she had to visit the hospital for about a year. She shared, "While filming 'Sweet Home,' I pushed myself to the limit with exercise. My muscle mass exceeded 30kg, and my body fat percentage was around 6%. I didn't menstruate during that time."

Lee Si-young, who also experienced low body fat and missed periods during her boxing career, initially dismissed it as a minor issue. However, when her body fat returned to normal levels and she still didn't menstruate, she sought medical advice. "Tests showed that my muscle mass was so high that my body mistook itself for not being female due to elevated male hormone levels," she explained.

Meanwhile, Lee Si-young, who married a non-celebrity in the restaurant industry in 2017, recently went through a divorce after eight years. She was mistakenly thought to have divorced the CEO of a production company she collaborates with on social media content.

Lee Si-young clarified, "I recently got divorced, but people think I divorced him," adding, "He jokes that he's become a 'divorced man' without ever being married." The production company CEO often hears, "Are you okay?" during meetings due to the misunderstanding. Lee Si-young concluded, "People think our channel ended because of the divorce, but it motivates me to work even harder."
