Kim Go-eun Reveals Her Secrets to Maintaining a Slim Figure on YouTube Show

Kim Go-eun has become a hot topic after revealing her secrets to maintaining a slim figure.

In a recent episode of the YouTube channel '117,' titled 'Top Star Sister and Sunshine Chick MC Meet: Actress Kim Go-eun,' the actress appeared alongside 'Stray Kids' member Felix, who served as a special MC. During the show, Kim Go-eun candidly discussed her eating habits and her tendency to bloat, showcasing her relatable charm.

Felix expressed his curiosity about Kim Go-eun beyond her professional life, asking, "Do you have any favorite foods?" Kim Go-eun responded, "I really enjoy eating, so it's quite challenging for me."

When Felix inquired about her diet management, Kim Go-eun admitted, "I don't really manage my diet. If I feel like I've gained weight, I just eat half a bowl of rice instead of a full one." She confessed, "I find it hard to stick to a diet. When I try, I wonder, 'Why am I living? I'm supposed to eat to live,' and it makes me sad." She added, "When I see people who manage their diets so professionally, I reflect on myself, but I just can't do it." Felix reassured her, saying, "You don't need to worry about that. You look very slim," expressing concern.

Kim Go-eun also shared, "I tend to bloat easily, especially around my eyes and nose, and even minor swelling looks significant on camera." She revealed, "Sometimes directors ask for a moment so I can quickly run to reduce the swelling."

While checking the refrigerator, Felix noted, "You don't eat much, but you seem to have a strong preference for Korean food," and asked about the presence of soda water. Kim Go-eun explained, "I like whiskey highballs. I only drink 'Balvenie' whiskey and prefer 'Singha' soda water. I also drink sparkling water with ice when I'm thirsty." Felix remarked, "That's surprising. I thought you'd prefer wine," to which Kim Go-eun replied, "I can't handle wine well; it makes me drunk quickly. I prefer stronger drinks."

The two continued discussing their food preferences. Felix shared, "I like sweet things, such as dessert wines or ice wines," while Kim Go-eun confessed, "I can't eat cilantro, and unlike you, I don't like sweet things." She humorously reenacted her reaction to sweet foods, saying, "I get goosebumps and hit the back of my neck." When asked if she could eat strawberries, she replied, "I can, but I'm not fond of fruits."

Felix had been leading up to offering his signature dessert, brownies. He said, "I was really curious if you could eat this," and handed her a brownie. Despite her usual dislike for sweets, Kim Go-eun said, "I can eat it," and eagerly took a bite, adding warmth to the moment.

Later, Kim Go-eun tasted Felix's Vegemite toast and prepared kimchi stew for him, wrapping up their enjoyable time together. Kim Go-eun, born in 1991, and Felix, born in 2000, have a nine-year age difference. Kim Go-eun recently appeared in the Netflix drama 'Eunjong and Sangyeon,' released in September, and is set to star in the upcoming project 'The Price of Confession.'
