Park Minyoung, who is starring in the new drama 'Siren,' revealed, "I went on a diet by drinking only water."

On the afternoon of the 23rd, a press conference for tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'Siren' (written by Lee Young, directed by Kim Cheolgyu) was held via TVING and Naver TV. Park Minyoung, Wi Hajoon, Kim Junghyun, and Director Kim Chulgyu attended the event.

Park Minyoung, who plays as Han Seol-ah, a chief auctioneer at Royal Auction, drew attention by saying that she went on an extreme diet for her character.

Park Minyoung explained, "Han Seol-ah, the character I play, does not eat in the drama. So many tragic events happen around her, so she doesn't eat and only drinks water or alcohol at home."

She added, "She is a character who feels extremely lonely when alone and also suffers from panic disorder. That's why I felt like I shouldn't gain weight," and added, "While filming this project, I fasted and drank 3 liters of water a day," surprising everyone.

Park Minyoung shared, "Now I have returned to my normal self. Keeping myself in a dark mood seemed to suit the character very well. I really changed into someone very dark."

Previously, Park Minyoung made headlines for losing weight down to 37kg while portraying a character battling cancer in the 2024 drama 'Marry My Husband.'

At the time, she explained, "I ate very little and survived only on ion drinks during filming." She added, "The production team was very kind. They let me film those scenes first, including the death scene. Then, they gave me about two weeks to gain back 5kg."

Meanwhile, 'Siren' is a drama about a woman with irresistible charm who is suspected of insurance fraud and a man who investigates the suspicious deaths around her. It is starred by Park Minyoung, Wi Hajoon, Kim Junghyun, Lee Elijah, and Han Junwoo. The first episode airs on March 2nd at 8.50 PM (KST).
