Five Cherry Tomatoes, One Icon: Park So-hyun's Unbreakable Ritual that Shocks the Scale!
Can you imagine surviving on just five cherry tomatoes and an iced latte for lunch? For
Park So-hyun
, that's not a challenge-it's a routine. She's famous for logging every crumb she eats, transforming "
food diary
" into an art form since the early '90s. While most K-stars drop INR30,000 a month on luxury convenience foods, Park's weekly grocery run barely touches INR3,000-a fraction of the average Korean bill (Statistics Korea reports an average of ₩3,50,000/month, about INR22,000).
What's on her table? Carbs are off limits, especially at night. Instead, she goes for small portions of grilled meat or eggs, plus a heavy lineup of vitamins. Her next-level discipline extends to
how
she eats: every bite gets chewed for up to two minutes, tricking her body to feel full on almost nothing! To avoid the dreaded side effects of low intake, she's big on hydration (2-3 litres water a day) and, when needed, won't hesitate to pop up to 4,000mg of vitamin C.
Forever Trending: Park So-hyun's Surprising Comeback and TV Fame
If you think a 30-year media run gets boring, think again. Park So-hyun is still
the
voice of 'Love Game'-a legendary career stretching over two decades. But her 2025 glow-up is bigger than ever: fans adore her on "Badge War Season 3: No Badge No Power," where her quick wit and unfiltered talk on self-care charm everyone from OG fans to Gen-Z.
She's constantly popping up on variety shows, reality TV, and even drama cameos that send "Park So-hyun" trending across Korean social feeds. Clips of her prepping impossibly tidy lunchboxes and doing morning stretches have spawned memes about her superhuman willpower and "rabbit diet"-but the real twist is her boundless energy, outshining idols half her age.
More Than Just a Body: Rituals, Warnings, and Real-World Lessons
Park So-hyun's mantra is clear: "Routine isn't sacrifice; it's my comfort zone." Her signature morning and night stretching, herbal teas over midnight snacks, and meticulous tracking are habits built over 26 years-not overnight. She confidently claims her methods are personal-what looks extreme is, to her, simply home.
Still, she's the first to caution against copying her routine. Medical professionals echo her warning: what works for Park is a product of decades of adjustment and mindful adaptation. For most, ultra-restrictive diets are dangerous without expert supervision and balanced nutrition.

KPop Demon Hunters: BTS' Jungkook's Soda Pop cover earns BIG reaction from voice of Jinu, ‘Pointed out a mistake…'
KPop Demon Hunters is one of the most viral things to come out of 2025— we're looking at you, nine-toothed dolls— and anyone online would have caught a glimpse of the phenomenon by now. BTS have previously expressed their liking towards the movie, including impromptu covers and dance challenges. With 2 possible sequels and a live-action being eyed for the future of the story, it's unlikely that the connections would die down any time soon. It's no surprise that the stars behind the show have gotten utterly famous, and the man behind Jinu- not Ahn Hyo Seop - but the singer Andrew Choi, have gained a lot of fans. Reacting to Jungkook's cover of one of the songs in the Netflix film, he showered praise on the BTS member. KPop Demon Hunters star calls Jungkook a 'true vocalist' In a video shared by Straits Time Online, Andrew Choi, the 'The thing that I love about Jungkook is that he sings with such ease, which is a sign of a true vocalist. Jungkook's performance is 11 out of 10,' he said while reacting to a song cover of Soda Pop that the BTS member did casually during a livestream. Watching the video further, he noticed how a lyric error in the track was noticed by the K-pop star. 'Jungkook pointed out a mistake in the movie's OST Soda Pop. I didn't even notice it. No one seemed to have noticed it until Jungkook took a listen to it. So thank you, Jungkook, for that.' Moreover, another video showed the singer picking his own version of the Saja Boys lineup in real life. He started off with the BTS maknae Jungkook with his superstar power and all-rounder base, and then moved to another maknae from NCT, Mark, for his rapping skills. He continued by adding Cha Eun Woo for visuals, often believed to be the biggest inspiration for the character of Jinu, especially after his Free OST cover with Arden Cho, the voice actor for Rumi. Strong vocalists in the form of EXO's Baekyun or D.O. were his next pick, and adding to that DAY6's Young K, would form his version of the perfect demon group from the animated film.
