Cho Bo-ah Opens Up About Her Body’s ‘Secret’ Zones—And It’s Not What You Think

Actress Cho Bo-ah recently made a candid confession about her body during a guest appearance on comedian Park Na-rae’s YouTube channel, posted on May 7.

To welcome Cho Bo-ah, Park cooked her a spicy vongole pasta. While eating, Park Na-rae began sweating from the heat—but Cho Bo-ah remained fresh and composed, which led to laughter on set. Park couldn’t help but ask jokingly yet curiously, “Do actors carry around some secret anti-sweat formula or eat some kind of medicine?”

Park then recalled a variety show shoot they did together. “We were filming on an island, and it was boiling hot. Everyone made a wish, and I said I wanted to shower outdoors with no clothes on. I actually did it—just went for it,” she laughed. “But Cho Bo-ah didn’t even sweat. She looked flawless.”

That’s when Cho Bo-ah revealed the real reason—her grooming routine. “After getting laser hair removal, I started sweating in strange places,” she admitted. “I don’t do hair removal on my back, so now I sweat there. Basically, the sweat finds new places to escape. Sometimes I sweat on my stomach—like right above my belly button.”

Park Na-rae responded with surprise, “Wow, I didn’t realize that was something people go through.” Cho casually replied, “I wouldn’t call it suffering… it’s just that my stomach gets wet now,” causing more laughter on set.

🎬 Upcoming Role in ‘Dear Hongrang’

Cho Bo-ah is set to return to the small screen in the upcoming Netflix series Dear Hongrang, premiering on May 16. The drama stars Cho alongside Lee Jae-wook in a story that blends beauty, tragedy, and destiny.

While her Disney+ Korea project Knock Off, co-starring Kim Soo-hyun, has been indefinitely postponed due to controversy surrounding Kim, Cho Bo-ah’s career momentum shows no signs of slowing down.

Dear Hongrang promises to captivate viewers with its bold storytelling and powerful characters who challenge the norms of their time. The drama’s unique setting and emotional intensity are expected to leave a lasting impression.
