[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] Actress Lee Il-hwa (51) revealed the secret to maintaining her figure.

On the 29th, Lee Il-hwa and Lee Yu-ri appeared on KBS2 variety show 'New Product Launch: Pyeonstorang.'

Lee Yu-ri said, "'Mother' was supposed to come, so I started making kimchi crepe cake."

Lee Yu-ri layered kimchi pancakes and mozzarella cheese to create a cake shape. She then decorated it with cheese and Cheongyang pepper cubes.

The 'Mother' Lee Yu-ri mentioned was Lee Il-hwa. The two met as in-laws in a drama and have maintained their connection since.

Lee Il-hwa said, "One of the reasons I took this drama was to act with actress Lee Yu-ri."

Lee Yu-ri said about Lee Il-hwa, "She was my role model," adding, "I wanted to be like sunbaenim. She manages her figure so well, doesn't she?"

Previously, Lee Il-hwa was mistaken for being Park Bo-gum's girlfriend after they were photographed together during a trip to Phuket.

Lee Yu-ri said, "Sunbaenim said, 'If you eat two meals, you gain weight,'" and Lee Il-hwa clarified, "I eat one meal."

Lee Il-hwa, who sculpts her figure through exercise, confessed, "These days, I'm hooked on Tanzplay." Tanzplay is a workout that combines modern dance and Pilates.

When Lee Yu-ri asked her to demonstrate, Lee Il-hwa immediately did a full split, catching everyone's attention.
