The press release of the new SBS weekend drama "Scent of a Woman" was held on the 19th in Seoul. However, the most striking of all was a much slimmer Kim Sun-a and her know-how's to controlling her weight and diet.

However, Kim Sun-a felt pressured by all the attention to her weight. She asked, "I wish you would focus more on the drama than my weight. I want to sympathize the importance of life and happiness through the life of a woman who has been given little time to live".

She revealed the excess attention she received about her weight in the past as well. She said, "After the drama "My Name is Kim Sam Soon" I had to hear from so many people everyday about weight for about 6~7 years. 100 out of 100 all said the same thing. I was neurotic even".

She also doesn't want to talk about her diet because of her fans worries as well. She said, "I had to lose a lot of weight in a short amount of time and unhealthily because of the character in the drama. I didn't eat well and only slept 3 hours. If I say this, others will follow me so I don't speak of it. It's not good for your health".

Hard working actress Kim Sun-a. Hopefully she will free herself from the Sam-soon image through this drama and breathe. Regardless of her weight, she is the best actress there is.

Meanwhile, "Scent of a Woman" is a romantic comedy with Kim Sun-a, Lee Dong-wook, Uhm Ki-joon and more about a woman who quits her job of ten years and leaves on a trip where she realizes the meaning of life. Coming on the 23rd at 9:50PM.
