1. Whole Foods and Yoga
Hannah-Kim has a holistic approach to health and beauty. “I’m very careful with what I eat,” she told New Beauty. “I think that I’m not manic, but I’m very much a ‘whole foods’ kind of person. I don’t drink alcohol, I drink a lot of water and tea. I’ve been doing yoga for over 10 years now and that’s really the foundation of my health truly.”
2. Muay Thai Training
Hannah-Kim has a martial arts background, which helped with her Cobra Kai stunt work. “I wasn’t trained in karate, but I had trained in Muay Thai, which is Thai kickboxing,” she told HollywoodLife. “That’s very intense. I was definitely sort of mildly confident going into the training. I have a bit of a background in dance. I do a lot of yoga. I’m pretty athletic. So I thought that I would be able to handle myself, but the training was full on. The stunt team is no joke.”
3. Role Model
Hannah-Kim is proud to represent strong Asian women on screen. “When I was younger, I don’t remember anybody that looked like me on Australian television,” she told KTLA. “I never really stopped to dwell on it, to be honest. Now, thinking about young Asian girls that are going to watch this show and, sort of, be inspired by the fierceness and the strength- I just feel very lucky to be a part of a show that’s as impactful and far-reaching as Cobra Kai.”
4. SPF 50
Hannah-Kim wears SPF 50 every day. “When people show me their sunscreens and they’re like, ‘Oh, this foundation has SPF 25,’ I’m like, ‘Oh, bless your heart.’ It’s 50 or nothing!” she told New Beauty. “I carry a sun stick, and I have a wide array of hats that I will wear. I’m just doing my best to protect myself from the almighty sun. I’m not a dermatologist, so you don’t have to listen to me. All I know is that I bow at the altar of SPF.”
5. Massage Obsessive
Hannah-Kim says massage is her favorite thing in the world. “I would say the Raven Spa in Santa Monica is an old favorite of mine,” she told New Beauty. “That’s a classic West Side joint. People from the cast know this—wherever I am, you can always rely on me to give you a recommendation for a good massage therapist. It’s the first thing that I look for, especially if the job is so physical. Especially in Atlanta, where we were doing so much stunt fighting and training. It was crucial to me for recovery. I was passing out the number of my therapists to the rest of the cast, and so everyone was staying in good shape. I always know what’s up with the spas.”
