Jang Ga-hyun gained 10kg after divorce → lost 12kg in 6 months... Reveals diet aftereffects on 'Touch Me'

Actress Jang Ga-hyun appeared on Channel A’s ″Beauty Clinic Touch Me,″ revealing the changes in her face caused by stress-induced weight gain and extreme dieting. On the show, Jang Ga-hyun focused on exercise, saying while running at the gym, ″You must always do fasted cardio, and while doing regular running, you need to increase your speed to sweat well and burn fat effectively.″ She continued exercising after returning home, and when the production team asked why she was obsessed with working out, she explained, ″I once filmed a divorce program. After that, every move I made was reported in the news. The headlines were always sensational, like ’Divorced Jang Ga-hyun,’ and at some point, my acting opportunities completely stopped.″ During this process, Jang Ga-hyun said she gained 10 kg after appearing on the divorce program and lost 2 kg per month over six months. She said, ″Now, no one says I’ve gained weight, but I know how I used to look. I don’t want to go back to that. As I maintain my weight, I think I exercise obsessively.″ However, she also revealed that she binge-eats flour-based foods once a day. Lee Jong-hoon, a Touch Master who appeared on the show with her, analyzed that Jang Ga-hyun’s repetitive excessive cardio to maintain her weight affected her skin elasticity. He also stated that her extreme restriction of water intake worsened her skin barrier and caused dryness. Meanwhile, Jang Ga-hyun married Jo Sung-min of the group 015B in 2000 and had one son and one daughter. They divorced in 2020. Two years later, she appeared with Jo Sung-min on TV Chosun’s ″We Got Divorced 2,″ which attracted attention. During the show, she shared her experience living with her mother-in-law and expressed grievances about Jo Sung-min.
