Do Ji-won, celebrating her 60th birthday, showcases the Korea National Ballet on 'My Little Old Man'

Actor Do Ji-won graced the red carpet with perfect self-management that defies her 60s. Attending the red carpet for the opening ceremony of the '30th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFAN)' held at Bucheon City Hall on the 2nd, Do Ji-won showcased her unchanging youthful visuals along with elegant dress styling.

DNA from the Korea National Ballet, flexibility that shines even at 60

Do Ji-won's extraordinary physique and flexibility stem from her background as a professional dancer. A graduate of Sunhwa Arts High School and Hanyang University's Department of Dance, she is an actor who was once a dancer performing as a member of the Korea National Ballet. Appearing on SBS's 'My Little Old Boy' recently, Do Ji-won demonstrated ballet skills worthy of a major. She proved her sense of balance, reminiscent of an active dancer, by naturally performing a movement where she lifts one leg straight up above her head. An anecdote was also shared about how she used the same practice room as the world-renowned ballerina Kang Sue-jin during her time at Sunhwa Arts High School.

"Aging begins the moment moving becomes a chore"... The secret to anti-aging

Her strict philosophy of self-management is evident in her daily habits. In an interview with the magazine 'Women Centric,' Do Ji-won stated, "As an actor who must show herself to the public, I have a responsibility to maintain a composed appearance." She particularly emphasized diligent movement, saying, "Aging begins the moment moving becomes a chore." As specific methods, she cited habits such as using stairs instead of elevators and getting off the bus two or three stops early to walk briskly. Additionally, she consistently performs stretching for about 40 minutes every day.

From confessing to being a 'Kangaroo Tribe' to her recent activities

Do Ji-won added a sense of friendliness by sharing her honest daily life through broadcasts. On 'My Little Old Old Boy,' she introduced herself as a "Kangaroo Tribe member who has never left her mother's embrace for even a single day," and she also opened up about her thoughts on remaining unmarried and the behind-the-scenes story regarding her famous "Mwoya?" (What is it?) line from the drama 'Yeoin Cheonha.' Having debuted as a model in 1989 and appeared in numerous works such as 'River of Brothers' and 'Yeoin Cheonha,' she is continuing her active acting career playing the role of Kang Su-ji in the recent KBS2 daily sitcom 'A Little Bit of Pure Love.'
