One glance at Han Ye-seul and you’d think she was in her 20s. The Korean actress may be 39 years old today, but with her youthful beauty and slim physique, 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 950k views at the time of writing), where the actress shares how she lost almost 1.5kg in just five days.

Here’s what her five-day weight loss plan looks like.
