Suzy rose to prominence with her roles in Dream High (2011), Uncontrollably Fond (2016), Start-up (2020), Anna (2022), and most recently, Doona! (2023). The actress has captivated audiences with her talent and beauty, especially after appearing alongside Park Bo Gum in the highly anticipated project, Wonderland. Suzy’s slim figure and charming looks have earned her the title of the “nation’s first love.”
Her debut as a leading lady in Dream High (2011) faced some backlash due to her curvier figure compared to the prevalent K-Pop beauty ideals at the time. However, after a brief hiatus from television, Suzy returned to the small screen in Uncontrollably Fond (2016), showcasing a transformed physique that garnered praise for its elegance and refinement. Particularly in Doona! (2023), Suzy embraced a wholly new style, intriguing fans with her approach to fitness and nutrition.
Let’s delve into the secrets behind Suzy’s impressive figure.
No Food Deprivation
Prior to filming, Suzy adheres to a strict diet, but typically, she favors a high-protein, low-carb diet with three balanced meals a day. Her menu includes nutritious options such as chicken breast, sweet potatoes, and a cup of full-fat milk for breakfast; brown rice and salad for lunch; and two sweet potatoes for dinner.
Suzy avoids eating after 6 PM to prevent abdominal fat accumulation and ensures she consumes at least 2 liters of water daily, complemented by ample fruit servings to boost her metabolism and burn excess fat.
Dedicated Workout Regimen
Even with her naturally slender frame, Suzy diligently engages in sports and maintains a healthy diet. She consistently works on her physique with basic and advanced exercises to retain her toned figure. One of her go-to exercises is the “Penguin Fitness Exercise,” which targets arm and leg fat. This exercise involves mimicking a penguin’s walk by extending your wrists at a 90-degree angle and rotating them as you raise and lower your arms in a rapid motion.
For high-intensity workouts, Suzy combines cardio and aerobic exercises like running to burn fat, enhance body flexibility, and promote mental relaxation after a demanding work schedule.
