On November 6, Park Min Young shared a fan Q&A on her YouTube channel "Just, Park Min Young" to mark her 20th debut anniversary. She said that since finishing work on "Nine to Six," she has gone straight into promotions without any real rest. "I need to eat well and sleep well to get my energy back," she said, adding that she wants to get back into golf and is already thinking about songs and dances for an upcoming fan meeting.
"I plan to take a short break for the first time in three years, and I also plan to travel a lot," she shared. She explained that her life while working is a loop between the set and home, and that her favorite way to recharge is simply sitting in a quiet room, looking at the wall or out the window. "Without that time, I can't build up new energy," she said.
When a fan asked how she stays beautiful regardless of age, Park Min Young laughed that the question sounded like it came from her agency's director. "I'm not always this beautiful," she said. "Even now, when I look in the mirror, I think, 'A lot of time has passed. I have to accept that.'" She added that she now does more things that are good for her body as a way of loving herself, and that she focuses on inner beauty because "that's what makes you shine."
She also talked about work-life balance, saying it is important to keep the two in check because it feels like your personal life disappears the moment you lose that balance.
"Nine to Six" is a romance about a rational woman who has always proven herself through work, whose standards for work, love and happiness are rewritten when she meets a kind, emotional man. It premieres on Wednesday, November 25 at 9 p.m. KST on SBS.
