Choi Hwa-jung Stuns Fans by Fitting into 10-Year-Old Outfit at 65
On October 16, Choi's YouTube channel, 'Hello, This is Choi Hwa-jung,' released a video titled, "Top 5 Items That Helped 65-Year-Old Choi Hwa-jung Maintain Her Figure for 10 Years (+Diet Tips)."
The video featured Choi hosting her first-ever fan meeting to celebrate the 10th anniversary of her home shopping show.
Choi promised to wear the same outfit from her first broadcast 10 years ago and appeared on stage to fulfill that pledge.
Upon arriving at the venue, Choi expressed, "It's an exciting and memorable day, but I couldn't enhance my beauty. This is the best I could do. I couldn't lose weight," adding, "The outfit might be too tight. I brought it with me, but if it's too tight, I'll wear something else."
She continued, "Even with personal training for my back, it didn't work. The skirt was too tight, and I secretly tried to buy a larger size, but there wasn't one. So, I had to stretch the outfit," drawing laughter from the audience.
Despite her concerns, Choi flawlessly wore the outfit from 10 years ago, impressing everyone with her unchanged figure. She remarked, "This is the outfit I wore 10 years ago. I worked hard to fit into it today, and this is the best I could do," to which fans responded with applause.
Choi also shared her usual diet, mentioning, "I eat peanut butter and yogurt with apples."
After the event, as she moved to the after-party location, Choi humorously complained about hunger, saying, "I couldn't even drink a cup of coffee because of that skirt," showing her relatable side. Meanwhile, Choi was moved to tears by the support of her fans and expressed her gratitude.
