In a recent video on her YouTube channel, Lee Soo-kyung opened up about her weight changes and the ongoing management process she follows.
In the video, she described herself as someone who easily gains weight, emphasizing that her current physique is the result of continuous effort.
One of the methods she uses to manage her body shape is wearing a thoracic belt, which caught viewers' attention. She explained that this choice was made based on her own experience of physical changes, rather than relying on external aids.
She stated, "I've heard that as you age, your rib cage expands," and added, "After hearing that I look different now compared to before, I realized I needed to manage it." She expressed her determination to maintain her physique.
Lee Soo-kyung also shared the changes she noticed after wearing the thoracic belt.

Lee Soo-kyung emphasized the importance of continuous effort to avoid reverting to her past self. "You have to keep trying to not go back to how you were," she said, stressing the importance of staying vigilant. She humorously added, "I used to have a pig-like appetite," lightening the mood.
The video also featured photos from her past, including one from her high school days when she weighed around 70kg. She expressed surprise at the old photos and stated, "I have to keep managing myself to not go back to that."
Currently maintaining a weight of 49kg, she mentioned that she has a body type that easily gains fat if she becomes complacent, underscoring the importance of consistent management.
Meanwhile, Lee Soo-kyung has been active in films like 'Tazza' and 'Romantic Island,' as well as the drama 'Heaven's Fate,' but took a hiatus for a while.
She previously opened up about the psychological difficulties she faced after a failed business venture, which led to an unexplained skin condition that severely affected her ability to work. Lee Soo-kyung revealed, "I was in a situation where I had to retire. My skin condition was too severe," and added, "I took a five-year hiatus, and I had to cancel all my savings and insurance policies," sharing her candid feelings.
