Actress Park Min Young has revealed that she plans to take her first proper break in three years, sharing that she wants to recover her energy and enjoy more time for herself after a busy acting schedule.
On November 6, Park Min Young answered fans' questions in a Q&A video uploaded to her YouTube channel, Just Park Min Young.
During the video, the actress shared that she had recently finished filming her upcoming drama Nine to Six but had not yet been able to fully rest because of ongoing promotional activities.
She explained, "It hasn't been long since I finished Nine to Six, and I've continued doing promotions, so I haven't had a real break. I need to recover my energy, so I should eat well and sleep well."
Park Min Young then announced that she was finally planning to take some personal time after years of focusing on work.
"I'm planning to take a little break for the first time in three years. I'm also thinking of traveling a lot," she shared.
The actress emphasized the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between her career and personal life.
"I think it's important to maintain balance. Once you lose that balance, it feels like your personal life disappears," she said.
Park Min Young explained that her daily routine while working usually consists of going between filming locations and home, leaving little room for other activities.
For her, real relaxation does not always require traveling or doing something special.
She shared, "The most precious rest for me is spending time in a room where no one is filming me, just looking at the walls or staring out the window."
She added that having quiet moments to herself helps her regain the energy needed to continue working.
During the Q&A, Park Min Young also spoke about getting older and learning to accept changes in her appearance.
"When I look in the mirror, I sometimes think that a lot of time has passed. I think I need to accept that," she said.
Rather than focusing only on her appearance, the actress explained that she now places greater importance on taking care of her health and learning to appreciate herself as she gets older.
"I think I should love myself according to my age. That's why I try to do things that are good for my body," she shared.
Meanwhile, Park Min Young is preparing for the premiere of her new romance drama *Nine to Six*, scheduled to air on November 25 at 9 PM KST.
The series follows a career-focused woman whose understanding of work, love, and happiness begins to change after meeting a warmhearted man.
Although Park Min Young has not announced how long her break will last, her comments suggest that she hopes to spend more time resting, traveling, and enjoying her personal life after three busy years.
