Comedian Kim Hye-sun revealed on the November 22 broadcast of MBN’s Special World that she underwent breast implant surgery due to plummeting self-esteem in a past romantic relationship, according to OSEN.
Kim operates fitness center after 2011 stardom
Kim now operates a fitness center alongside her German husband, Stefan, following her departure from the entertainment spotlight. She initially rose to stardom just one year after her debut, capturing public attention in 2011 with her muscular warrior character in the comedy sketch segment “The Ultimate Weapon Girl.” However, as her popularity increased, she faced persistent teasing and harsh public scrutiny, eventually leading her to step away from television entirely.
Depression led Kim to Germany and surgery
Reflecting on her departure from the comedy stage, Kim explained that severe depression prompted her sudden move to Germany, where she worked in a local restaurant to get by. She shared that a previous romantic partner contributed to her declining mental health. Desiring a more feminine appearance, she underwent breast augmentation, which she said only deepened her psychological distress and brought her self-esteem to its lowest point.
Husband Stefan’s Reaction to Implant Removal
Years later, complications developed with her breast implants, prompting Kim to decide to remove them. She confessed her situation to her husband, Stefan, whose response completely surprised her. Rather than focusing on physical appearance, Stefan told her simply, “If you’re uncomfortable, take them out.” Following the removal surgery, Stefan embraced her and remarked that it was nice because her heartbeat felt closer, a moment that solidified her decision to marry him.
