On the April 3 broadcast of the KBS 2TV program The Seasons – Sung Si Kyung’s Ear-Pleasing Boyfriend, Lee Sung Kyung appeared as a guest and shared updates about her life along with the story behind her abs.
As soon as she stepped on stage, the audience burst into admiration. Host Sung Si Kyung joked, “You’ve just witnessed a doll walking,” setting a lively tone for the show.
Talking about her recent activities, Lee Sung Kyung said, “I filmed a drama and was busy as it overlapped with performances,” adding, “I performed in the musical Aladdin for about a year.” Sung Si Kyung responded, “I went to see it—you were amazing,” and congratulated her on winning the Best New Actress award at the Korea Musical Awards.
Her abs, especially during her role as Jasmine in Aladdin, became a hot topic. When asked if she felt pressured wearing revealing costumes, she surprised everyone by saying, “I’ve actually had abs for over 10 years.”
Lee Sung Kyung’s toned body has drawn attention even in the past. During her appearance on Yoo Yeon Seok’s YouTube channel, she revealed her fitness secret.
She shared, “I couldn’t get personal training, so I followed 10-minute workout videos on YouTube,” adding, “I did about 4–5 routines a day, focusing on core, transverse abs, rectus abs, side muscles, and stretching.”
Hearing this, actress Ryu Hye Young commented, “She’s definitely born with great muscle. Her legs are like a soccer player’s—they may look slim, but they’re all muscle.”
In reality, despite her slender frame, Lee Sung Kyung’s firm and athletic physique has led many to describe her not as “skinny,” but as someone naturally gifted with muscle.
The fact that she achieved her abs through simple YouTube workouts—without personal training—has made her physique even more of a hot topic among fans.
