[Sportschosun Jung An-ji] Actress Park Shin-hye, who is pregnant with her second child, showed off her exceptional core strength while taking a physical age test.
On the 15th, a video titled "[Park Shin-hye] What Did Shin-hye Do on Her Day Off? She Breathed in Phytoncide and Watched Baseball! VLOG" was uploaded to the YouTube channel of SALT Entertainment.
The video shows Park Shin-hye heading out for an early morning hike on Achasan Mountain. She laughed as she said, "My stamina has dropped sharply over the past year. That just means I haven't been exercising enough." She added, "After filming 'Undercover Miss Hong,' I said I would recover my stamina and take better care of my health, but it has only been three months, and I am just now starting to do that." She then admitted, "My stamina has hit rock bottom, and then some. It's in the lower limit. There is still room to go even lower."
As the hike got underway, Park Shin-hye took breaks along the way and continued toward the summit. "It's less tiring than it was at first," she said. "You should never casually suggest hiking. I'm the kind of person who says, 'Let's go hiking' without thinking and then regrets it."
She also said, "I don't think I could ever hike alone," but once she finally reached the summit, she clapped her hands and enjoyed the sense of accomplishment.
A little later, Park Shin-hye suddenly tried a physical age test. She challenged herself to stand up from a kneeling position without using her hands, and succeeded immediately, showing impressive core strength.
The exact date of the hike is unknown, but Park Shin-hye previously posted a photo of herself hiking on her social networking service (SNS) in April, along with the caption, "Achasan Mountain filled with fine dust. I'm doing well, everyone." The outfit in that photo is the same as the one she wore in this vlog, suggesting it was taken on the same day.
As she is due to give birth to her second child this fall, she appears to have been pregnant at the time. Still, her ability to enjoy the hike and complete the physical age test without difficulty surprised many viewers.
Meanwhile, Park Shin-hye married actor Choi Tae-joon in 2022 and gave birth to a son in May of that year. Four years later, in April, she announced that she was pregnant with her second child, drawing many congratulations. At the time, her agency said, "Park Shin-hye is scheduled to give birth this fall. We ask for your warm support."
