Hằng is a big fan of coffee, which experts say has numerous health benefits when consumed in the right amount. "Drinking one to two cups of coffee a day may help ward off heart failure, when a weakened heart has difficulty pumping enough blood to the body," say nutrition experts from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "For women, drinking at least one cup of coffee a day is associated with lowered stroke risk, which is the fourth leading cause of death in women."

Hằng says her career as an actress and singer taught her self-confidence. "When I was a kid, when I didn't have a career and couldn't find my position, I was a very shy person," she says. "Once I found it, my thoughts created what I wanted. My career path is like magic pulling me in. Just there, I feel safe."

Hằng spends as much time outdoors as possible, especially after the pandemic lockdowns. "Everywhere I go, I imagine the virus, so the Heo family goes to the garden to hunt, gather, and dry in the sun to kill bacteria," she says.

Hằng treasures her independence, saying she has no intention of giving up work just because she's married. "How can I 'give up' when I still have to work to get better results,' she says. "And even with my husband, I can't give up the game. In the 21st century, women also need to have careers and independence." "Working has been shown to help stabilize people struggling with mental health conditions," says Karen L. Jacob, PhD.

Hằng protects her mental health with down time and self-care. "I have time to spend with my family, for myself," she says. "That time, I also go to the kitchen, cook, I like to bake, decorate the house… All barriers affect the psychology of fear, the mentality of being afraid to overcome, the mentality of losing a career."
