She Nearly Became an Acupuncturist?!
Actress Ye Ji-won had everyone doing a double take when she casually revealed, “I actually wanted to study acupuncture 10 years ago,” during a recent taping of JTBC’s health show ‘The Body We Love’. The unexpected confession added a personal, playful twist to an episode packed with science.
Skin: More Than Just Looks
Airing this Saturday morning at 8:55 AM (KST), the seventh episode zooms in on the skin—not just as a beauty gauge, but as a vital organ guarding our entire body. From regeneration cycles to oxidative damage caused by UV rays, the show unpacks why ignoring skin health can spark premature aging and even trigger chronic illnesses.
The Rise of the Zombie Cells
Yes, you read that right. ‘Zombie cells’—damaged, aged cells that refuse to die—can infect surrounding healthy tissue and speed up aging. The show’s medical experts warn that prolonged sun damage and inadequate recovery can make these cells thrive, especially in summer months soaked in UV exposure. Creepy and real.
MC Ye Ji-won Gets Hands-On
Ye Ji-won, already known for her wellness-savvy image, took her hosting duties one step further. From admitting her acupuncture ambitions to undergoing a skin aging diagnosis on-air, her openness struck a chord with viewers and experts alike. Let’s just say: she’s aging backwards, and we want in.
The Collagen Comeback (With Science)
To wrap things up, the episode introduces a trending solution: Tripeptide Collagen. Dubbed a high-absorption formula, it’s said to boost skin regeneration and overall collagen levels fast. It’s a science-based comeback plan for tired, sun-damaged skin.
‘The Body We Love’ airs every Saturday morning on JTBC, giving your weekend a smart (and good-looking) start.
