Lee Young-Ae is back. Filipinos might know her better as Dae Jang Geum, the character she plays in Jewel in the Palace. It was the first Korean teleserye that captured the hearts of Filipinos everywhere started a trend that continues to this day. After the tremendous success of this series, Young Ae chose to step back from the limelight, but this year she is returning to a new drama, which has caused much excitement in the entertainment world and among her fans. Along with her acting comeback, she has become the ambassador of Hurom Slow Juicer.
“I’ve used Hurom for a long time and I feel better and healthier than before,” declares Young-Ae. “There are two ways to make a juice, blending and slow squeezing. To get more nutrition, I love to use Hurom’s slow-squeezing method. Because when you squeeze ingredients slowly, it maximizes nutrition.”
With the new production currently underway, she’s definitely going to need it. Young-Ae is starring in Saimdang, the Herstory, a historical drama that will flit back and forth between past and present. She plays the titular character Saimdang, who was a poet and artist in the Joseon dynasty as well as another character, a modern-day historian who investigates the life of Saimdang. It is set to air in Korea in October.
When she retired from showbiz a decade ago, she concentrated on home life. Being a health conscious mom, she has extended this to her household. “I make fruit and veggie juice with Hurom for myself and my family. My kids don’t like fruits and vegetables,” she admits, which is a common problem among parents. “But if I make fruit and veggie juice with Hurom, they love it.”
In a commercial that aired on Korean TV, Young Ae is shown juicing apples and carrots on a Hurom juicer for her son, and he drinks it up happily, none the wiser that it’s packed with nutrition. In other ads she is seen holding a juicing party with friends and another one, where she pours her fresh juice in bottles and takes them to work. “I make different juices every day,” she says referring to Hurom recipe book. “But my mom loves to make soy noodle with the Hurom slow juicer.”
Hurom is more than just a juicer. Depending on the model, there are many preparations you can do with Hurom such as almond milk, and yes, like Young Ae’s mother, you can even make fresh noodles. The third generation’s 2016 New Hurom HAA-Series even has an attachment where you can make healthy pure fruit sherbets and ice cream.
Young-Ae has one of the most beautiful and ageless faces in Korea. She is as well known for her beauty as she is for her charity. Recently, she donated $50000.00 to the earthquake victims in Ecuador and also paid for a Vietnamese child’s brain tumor surgery. Truly beautiful inside and out, she is also a UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) ambassador.
With all of this activity and her foray back into the business, how does she keep healthy and fit? “Drinking Hurom juice, that’s my health secret,” she says with a smile.
