1. The origins and truth of illness rumors

 

Unsubstantiated rumors began spreading after a post on an online message board claimed she "collapsed due to dehydration during filming." However, neither her agency Humanite nor she herself has made any official announcements suggesting a health issue, and she frequently posts photos of herself on set looking healthy on social media. Given that she continued to travel between Japan and Korea in the first half of 2025 and continue to work one job after another, the illness rumor can be considered a baseless hoax.

 

 

 

 

2. Health management techniques to survive busy times

 

Shim Eun-kyung films about 10 movies a year and appears on variety shows once or twice a month. She says, "The harder my schedule is, the more I take care of myself."

 

Morning stretching and light walking (30 minutes daily)

▪️Evening yoga or meditation (20 minutes)

▪️ Vitamin and mineral-based diet + protein supplementation

▪️Prioritize at least 7 hours of sound sleep

 

By making these a routine, I am able to stay in the best condition at all times.

 

 

 

 

3. Behind the scenes of my debut as a Japanese interpreter

 

In 2024, I was in charge of interpreting for a conversation with Yutaka Matsushige on the Korean variety show "What Would You Do If You Were Playing?". I was under a lot of pressure because I had to instantly switch between honorifics and nuances.

 

"May I please?"
He also perfectly used polite language such as these, and received great praise. It is said that the viewership rating for the episode was about 2 points higher than usual.

7. Japanese Language Learning Stories

 

Immediately after signing the Humanite contract in 2017, he began attending a language school in Tokyo five days a week. He made a rule to not speak Korean on set,
