A female K-Pop idol shocked viewers by confessing her unusual eating habit as soon as she wakes up.
In episode 10 of Netflix‘s daily variety show The Late Learner Mr. Jee, endocrinologist Woo Chang Yoon appears as a guest to discuss the trending topic of “well-aging.”
Ji Seok Jin and OH MY GIRL‘s Mimi begin their conversation with the question, “How long do you want to live?”
Born in 1995, Mimi honestly answered, “I want to live as long as I can. There are so many wonderful things coming out in the world. It would be so disappointing to die without experiencing them.”
Ji Seok Jin, born in 1966 and celebrating his 60th birthday this year, expressed a strong desire for longevity, saying, “I really want to live just over 120 years.”
Specialist Woo Chang Yoon introduced the recently spotlighted concept of “well-aging,” noting, “Our understanding of aging and lifespan is deepening. We need to prepare for the present.”
He explained that unlike past “anti-aging,” which focused on fearing and preventing aging, “well-aging” means accepting aging naturally while maintaining physical function to the fullest.
Then, Mimi confessed her unusual love for ice cream, saying, “I eat ice cream as soon as I wake up, two to three at a time,” causing concern from the specialist.
Specialist Woo Chang Yoon warned, “Eating sugary foods right after waking up can be as strong a stimulus as smoking or drinking,” but Mimi responded, “I eat for my happiness and mental health,” humorously refusing to give up ice cream until the end.
