Actress Kang So-ra has revealed the secret behind her sharp jawline on screen: she diets even more strictly when she has a kiss scene to film.
Speaking in a video uploaded on October 16 to her YouTube channel “Sora’s Solplay,” titled “Let’s go pro today. Kang So-ra’s main-job moment,” she was eating a salad during a break from a commercial shoot. When the production crew asked whether she manages her diet more strictly for melodramas, she answered, “Because the jawline shows better in kiss scenes,” adding that she can be “a bit looser” when no kiss scene is involved.
Kang went on to name the kinds of roles that demand the hardest diet discipline: scenes with kissing, revenge-driven roles, characters full of spite, and roles where the character is very poor or very ill. For those, she said, “you have to go very hard.”
She also shared her go-to diet foods, saying she genuinely enjoys salad, chicken breast, and sweet potatoes. Joking about her love for fried chicken, she laughed that “you have to know the love of a mom,” referring to her mother, who always gives up the chicken legs and wings for her.
Kang married a Korean-medicine doctor in 2020 and has two daughters. She made headlines after losing 20kg following childbirth, as reported by MyDaily.
