Former T-ARA center-turned-actress Hahm Eunjung has revealed the simple routine she swears by to look slim and refreshed on camera, in as quick as in a day.
On February 27, the idol-turned-actress uploaded a vlog titled “Reducing Swelling at a Private Sauna” to her YouTube channel, where she shared her go-to method for beating facial puffiness. Now three months into her marriage, Ham Eun Jung explained that her recent lack of sleep has caused her body to swell more easily.
“I haven’t been sleeping much lately, so my body gets puffy. I came to the sauna to soothe myself.”
Choosing a cozy one-person sauna in Gwangmyeong, she turned up the heat and began sweating it out, emphasizing that she prefers private spaces where she can fully relax alone. But what truly caught fans’ attention was her story about the night before her wedding.
“I was so exhausted because I had a lot of filming schedules, but I went to the hotel sauna the day before. The swelling went down completely. I loved how my face looked that day.”
According to Ham Eun Jung, sauna sessions work especially well for her because she naturally has a “cold body type,” making heat therapy particularly effective. For those who are not in the know, oriental medicine often focuses on what type of body one has. Many women are plagued with “cold body types,” with a telling sign being cold hands and feet. For such women, weight loss comes hard as water retention is high.
She’s not the first to use saunas as a fast-track to weight loss. fromis_9’s Chaeyoung once revealed that she spent 2 hours in a sauna before Waterbomb, losing 1.5kg in water weight.
Eunjung debuted in 2009 as a member of T-ARA and became known as the group’s center, gaining massive popularity through hits like “Bo Peep Bo Peep,” “Crazy Because of You,” and “Roly-Poly.” She later transitioned into acting and married film director Kim Byung Woo in November of last year.
