An idol-turned-actress impressed netizens with her surprising strength that contrasts with her slender frame.
Recently, several videos were posted on Instagram along with the message, “My daughter says she can’t sleep at 5 a.m. and is hungry. She quickly ate a bowl of rice and said she’ll go back to sleep… So what about mom? This time is so awkward for me,” by Lee Jihyun, former Jewelry member-turned-actress.
She then added, “Thanks to that, I finished my early morning workout today,” along with videos of an intense home training session.
In the videos, Lee Ji Hyun wore a simple outfit—a white bra top and black shorts that showed off her slim silhouette—yet her workout was a completely different story, featuring high-intensity training.
She effortlessly lifted a large barbell above her head, roughly the size of an average adult man’s body, and continued exercising vigorously while gripping an enormous dumbbell in one hand, demonstrating her dedication.
Netizens reacted with enthusiasm, commenting, “The gym looks really cozy, like a home,” “The mom’s muscles were made by her daughter,” and “A legend in overcoming personal limits.”
Lee Jihyun, who has endured the pain of two divorces, is currently a single mother raising two children on her own. Recently, she reinvented herself as a hair designer, opening a “second chapter” in her life.
Currently, Lee Jihyun actively communicates with fans through broadcasts and social media, gaining full support from fans with her confident progress.
