"Physical: 100" Yun Sung Bin talks about the popularity and the impact of the Netflix survival reality show.
The 28-year-old athlete is among the show's fan-favorites, along with legendary MMA Choo Sung Hoon, and "underdog" female wrestler Jang Eun Sil.
The South Korean skeleton racer and Olympic gold medalist, captivated not just the viewers with his charm. Fellow participants were all eyes on him as he was among the most formidable opponents in the competition.
Taking a body profile is one of the biggest current social media trends in South Korea as it focuses on a person's physique, especially among athletes, models, and other fitness enthusiasts.
However, Yun Sung Bin shared his honest thoughts about it. He thinks it is unnecessary for him. For the 28-year-old athlete, he sees it as a "show off" rather than something that is related to sports.
The Olympian also commented on the recent craze for "body profiles" in Korea and said, "Taking a body profile itself is like proving that I'm not in good shape."
With this, the host gave him a fake scenario wherein he will get paid 1 billion KRW to have his body profile taken but Yun Sung Bin declined and revealed that he gets a lot of DMs from studios that take body profiles but he is not interested.
Although the "Physical: 100" star didn't like having his body profile taken, Yun Sung Bin's Vogue Korea shoot is totally a head turner as the 28-year-old Olympian showed off his charm in the publication's latest issue.
Over the comment section, "Money Heist Korea" star Yoo Ji Tae praised the athlete for his "awesome" physique.
