One glance at Han Ye-seul and you’d think she was in her 20s. The Korean actress is 39 years old today, but her youthful beauty and slim physique suggest otherwise – and we think she could pass off as the newest member of BLACKPINK!
For those who aren’t familiar with her body of work, the actress has taken on leading roles in television dramas such as Couple or Trouble (2006), Tazza (2008), and Birth of a Beauty (2014), as well as the films Miss Gold Digger (2007) and Penny Pinchers (2011).
Besides her impressive acting chops, her slender physique certainly doesn’t go unnoticed. In fact, she seems to be in better shape year after year.

On her YouTube Channel that was launched a year ago, the actress gave viewers a peek at her everyday life and revealed that her days are currently consumed by three things: variety shows, her clothing brand, and YouTube.
One of her most-viewed YouTube videos is titled “My Daily Diet Routine” (it has garnered over 1.1 million views at the time of writing), where the actress shares how she lost almost 1.5kg in just five days.
Curious to know how she did it? Here’s what her five-day weight loss plan looks like.
Han Ye-seul’s weight loss diet plan: Day 1
1. Weigh
The first thing Han Ye-seul does every morning on an empty stomach is weigh herself on a weighing scale.
2. A cup of coffee
She replaced breakfast with a cup of coffee, which contains caffeine to aid in burning fat.
3. Exercise
The actress steps on an elliptical trainer and does aerobics for about an hour, listening to music as she’s working out.
4. Lunch
For lunch, she had some chia seed pudding, which she mixes in with muesli and some Yoplait yoghurt drink. It’s quick to consume and helps to keep her fuller for longer. On the first day, she couldn’t help but end off her meal with a muffin.
5. Weight training
To burn off the muffin she had earlier, she did another round of exercise. This time, she focused on weight training.
6. Dinner
Keeping her dinner light, she had a chicken breast salad with some balsamic vinegar drizzled on top of it.
7. Snack
As she’s used to having something to nibble on before bed, she grabbed a handful of walnuts as a snack.

Instead of having coffee at home, she went to a nearby cafe and ordered herself some sweet treats to go with her cup of coffee.

Since the weather was great, she walked around her neighbourhood instead.
4. Lunch
Swamped with work, the actress wolfed down half of a sandwich she bought at the cafe earlier.
