About the actress Will In NaOn the radio show “You In Radio”, Park Jung Min was asked how he gets out of feeling down, if he ever does. First, he mentioned games, but added that sometimes games make him feel worse.

Jung Min Park: These days I’m working on losing weight for a photo shoot.
Will In Na: You lost weight.
Jung Min Park: I started running.
Will In Na: Truly?
Jung Min Park: Yes, it’s been about three months. I run about 6 miles (10 kilometers) a day. My head clears when I run. It was challenging at first. But now I can run 6 miles without too much trouble and it helps improve my mood.
Will In Na: What time do you go running?
Jung Min Park: Normally at night, around 8pm.
Between running 6 miles a day and skipping dinner, Park Jung Min is said to have lost over 37 pounds (17 kilograms).
Will In Na:So you don’t get hungry when you get home? Don’t eat after running?
Jung Min Park: No, I don’t eat.
Will In Na: Is it difficult to skip dinner or don’t you feel hungry?!
Jung Min Park: I usually skip dinner, so… But if I’m hungry, I eat before running.
Will In Na: And how many kilograms did you lose this way? Your weight loss is very noticeable.
Jung Min Park: I lost a lot. Over 10 kilograms.
