Actor Hwang Seok-jung revealed how she came to participate in the fitness competition.
Hwang Seok-jung appeared on MBN's "Songpul Show Dongchimi," which aired on the 14th, and revealed an anecdote that he couldn't refuse.
On this day, Hwang Seok-jung said, "After appearing on a singing program, I met director Yang Chi-seung at an afterparty place. You told me to come to exercise, so I stopped by. The gym was an hour and 40 minutes away from home, but he went to say hello. Somehow, I signed up for membership and even registered for PT," he said.
He continued, "I went once a week and I saw something filming next to me. But all of a sudden, the production team and the director came and asked me to go to the fitness competition," he said, adding, "The competition is only a month and a half away, and it's impossible." I wanted to go out before, but I couldn't because I thought about wearing clothes the size of my palm," he said.
He said, "But the director encouraged me to do it, too. I was swept up in the atmosphere and said okay, and worked out like crazy. I worked out from morning to dawn with the responsibility of representing middle-aged women in Korea. I only ate that because they told me to eat cabbage and chicken," he said. "That's how I worked out and won an award. His back was so pretty that he was surprised by saying, "My nickname was 'Deungshin'."
Hwang Seok-jung said, "Fortunately, my back was healed, but when I looked in the mirror, I saw my mom. I couldn't take care of my health and lost weight, so I couldn't eat meat. There is a problem with the immune system. He is still recovering. Still, I've never regretted it. I regret not taking care of my body wisely," he added.
