Lee Do Hyun captivated millions of hearts with a boy-next-door aura and unique charisma.
From being the fearless medical student in "Sweet Home" to being the Gwangju's pride in "Youth of May," this South Korean heartthrob definitely has that leading man material that K-drama fans look for.
Aside from his impeccable acting skills, viewers swoon over his stunning model-like visuals.
Interestingly, before falling in love with theater and acting, Lee Do Hyun's first choice was sports.
Lee Do Hyun's Workout Routine
Being physically active is not new to the 27-year-old actor.
Before landing on stage, he first fell in love with sports, especially basketball.
In one of Netflix's video specials for "Sweet Home," where Lee Do Hyun was the lead star, he revealed that he used to play basketball and was good at it.
In fact, he was his high school's team point guard. Unfortunately, he had to give up sports because his father was against it.
He once mentioned that if his father supported him in playing basketball, he wouldn't give up playing and might pursue it as a career.
When asked about his basketball idols, he immediately mentioned Michael Jordan's name.
Despite changing perspective and ending up being an actor and in front of the camera most of the time, he is still physically active and maintains his tip-top shape by going to the gym.
In one Instagram post, the "Youth of May" star shared a photo of him at the gym alongside a caption that reads, "It's colder than Russia, but I exercise when it's cold."
It appears like he spends most of his downtime working out to maintain and tone his body.
As noted by an outlet, Lee Do Hyun's workout routine might focus more on "moderate weight training and a cardio warm-up."
It includes a quick core routine starting with stretching and a cardio warm-up to condition the body.
For weight training, the actor might have his exercise session 5 to six times a week with light to moderate workouts.

Aside from physical workouts, Lee Do Hyu used to undergo voice training to correct the tone of his voice.
Voice Training and Learning to Speak English Fluenty
During his appearance in "Knowing Brothers", he originally had a high-pitched voice but took time to change it.
As obtained by Xports News, he explained that he used to work as a part-timer and was told that he has a high-pitched voice.
During his free time, he would "practice my vocal and pronunciation during the time I was preparing to take the entrance exam again," he said.
He added, "My voice was originally high-pitched, but after I did the so-called 'dog breathing' training, my voice changed, and it naturally got lower. I also found it really amazing."
From voice training, Lee Do Hyun is also studying and practicing to communicate in English fluently. This is in hopes of scoring Hollywood projects one day.
In a previous interview, the rising star revealed that he was "curious about how foreign film sets look." Of course, it also includes debuting in an international tv show or film.
