Actress in her 50s who is quietly taking the spotlight these days

 None other than Park Jiyoung, known for her roles as a mom in K-dramas.

Lately, she’s been taking on quite important roles in the movies and dramas I’m watchingㅋㅋㅋ

Park Jiyoung, the top-class actress who had a stellar year in 2024

First, Park Jiyoung plays the role of Go Bonghee in the KBS 2TV weekend drama 'Iron Family.' She is at the center of the 'money bag incident.' Not only she's involved in the diverse stories between her in-laws and three siblings, she also serves as the connecting thread in the various stories centered around the money bag. Her powerful acting skills shine even more in the complex narrative of this weekend drama.

Meanwhile, in tvN's 'Love Next Door' which ended last October, she made viewers laugh and cry by portraying a 100% realistic mother. Her nagging brought humor and relatability as she reminded viewers of their own moms, but in moments of vulnerability, like when apologizing to her daughter, her emotional performance conveyed regret and sorrow, drawing audiences deeply into the story. Notably, she spent about 3 months learning to play the drums for her role in the drama, blending her character's emotions seamlessly with her instrument-playing skills, building the role with masterful detail.

In contrast to her TV roles, she is currently captivating audiences in the film 'The Hidden Face.' Playing Hyeyeon, the conductor and mother of Soo-yeon (played by Jo Yeojung), she adds depth to the character with her presence, portraying a woman who seems elegant yet radiates a strange sense of intimidation and discomfort. Additionally, in Coca-Cola’s recently released 'Coke & Meal' campaign, her piercing gaze conveyed credibility in just a brief moment, earning enthusiastic reactions from the production staff and elevating the ad.

She plays the role of Go Bonghee, the mother in 'Iron Family' 

She played the role of Seokryu's mother, Misook-ssi, in 'Love Next Door' that just ended airing not too long ago.

She also played the role of Hyeyeon the conductor in 'The Hidden Face'

After the impeachment, she posted an Instagram story that said, "We made it happen"ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

theqoo

-She's an amazing actress and also absolutely gorgeous. So beautiful.

-Does anyone know the drama 'Tough Guy's Love'?ㅜ

-I like her...

-I’m so happy to see her starring in a lot of dramas these daysㅠㅠ

-She’s so beautiful!

-She’s such a great actress👍🏻👍🏻

-She’s so pretty.

-She’s an incredible actress.

-I really like Park Jiyoung.

-I absolutely love her... Her acting is amazing.

-She’s so beautiful and talented.

-I can’t believe she’s already in her 50s...

-So true, she’s such a great actress!

-Her acting is amazing, she’s elegant, and even her buck teeth suit her so well. Her younger sister is MBC announcer Park Hyejin. I like her too.

-She looked so breathtaking in the blue dress in 'Love Next Door'ㅠㅠㅠ

-She was in that drama with Lee Joongi and IU, right? She’s so perfect as a villain.

-She was so good in 'Jealousy Incarnation.'

Korean teens are the fattest in East Asia because of Malatang and Tanghulu

 

https://n.news.naver.com/article/011/0004428048?sid=103

Among the four East Asian countries – South Korea, China, Japan, and Taiwan – South Korea has the highest obesity rate among children and adolescents.

A joint research team led by Professor Hong Yong-hee from the Pediatrics Department at Soonchunhyang University Bucheon Hospital analyzed data from the "NCD Risk Factors Collaboration" to compare obesity rates in children and adolescents aged 5 to 19 in East Asia from 2010 to 2022.

The study found that South Korean teenagers had the highest rates of obesity and overweight rates among the four countries in 2022. About 43% of boys and 24.6% of girls were overweight or obese.

The popular foods among kids these days are basically calorie bombs.

theqoo

-Childhood obesity is just like a form of abuse...

-If 43% is considered obese, doesn't that mean almost half of teenage boys?

-Huh, but is it really that bad...? I didn’t think it was that bad.

-It’s not just what they eat, but they probably sit around too much...

-Exactly, kids today travel everywhere by car. They don’t walk much, and they don’t even have PE classes.

-Do you really think that's the only reason? It's also because kids these days don't move enough.

-Working out is more important than eating. They don’t move, so that’s why they get fat.

-Do you really think it's because of Malatang and Tanghulu? We had pizza and hamburgers back in our day too.

-In general, kids these days are getting chubbier. Childhood obesity will lead to health issues later, so they need to exercise.

-They should be focused on exercising, not studying.

-I once saw an article saying obesity was more common among the poor in the West. I feel like we’re heading in the same direction in Korea, though. I haven’t looked at the stats, but it seems to be true in my neighborhood.

-Most of them will probably end up obese when they grow up...ㅜㅜ
