Actress Kim Nam-joo expressed great empathy for Kim Ok-bin's diet.

During the recent filming of SBS Life's entertainment program 'Queen of Insight Kim Nam-joo' episode 13, Kim Nam-joo asked Kim Ok-bin, "I don't think you eat much," to which Kim Ok-bin replied, "I actually eat a lot."

In response, Kim Nam-joo said, "We also eat a lot. We just hold back when we have work," and asked Kim Ok-bin about her diet plan.

Kim Ok-bin explained, "If I don't eat meat, I feel hungry. I alternate between chicken, beef, and pork, eating them at least once a day. I don't use any special seasoning, just sprinkle salt on olive oil, but when I really want to eat, I dip it in store-bought low-calorie sauce." Kim Nam-joo and Kim Ok-bin both agreed, saying, "We feel anxious when we run out of Sriracha at home."

Kim Nam-joo happily said, "I found my ally," and added, "Honestly, when we actresses wear dresses, we even spit." Kim Ok-bin revealed, "I once only ate water and salt for 2 weeks," explaining, "I have a clear on-off switch, so when I eat and play a lot, and suddenly have a schedule for an awards ceremony where I need to wear a dress, there's no other way. At that time, I survived on just water and salt."

Kim Nam-joo greatly empathized with Kim Ok-bin's story, joking, "It's similar. Someone even more extreme than me has come."

Episode 13 of 'Queen of Insight Kim Nam-joo,' featuring Kim Ok-bin, will air on the 14th at 8:40 PM, and prior to that, content of the same name will be released on Kim Nam-joo's YouTube channel at 11:45 AM on the same day.
