[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jeong-ho] Kim Jong-kook of 'My Ugly Duckling' caught attention by calling Kim Gyeran the "Yoo Jae-suk of the fitness world."
On the afternoon of the 6th, SBS's 'My Ugly Duckling' (hereafter 'Miwoo-sae') aired with actress Park Eun-bin appearing as a special MC.
That day, Kim Jong-kook worked out hard at the gym, showing off muscles that looked like his T-shirt was about to burst, attracting attention.
Furthermore, he expressed excitement as he increased the weight in his strength training. He had been consistently training every day, 365 days a year.
Seeing this, Kim Jong-kook's mother expressed frustration, saying, "Take it easy. Stop now," which brought laughter.
After exercising, Kim Jong-kook met with YouTuber Kim Gyeran, god's Park Joon-hyung, and comedian Nam Chang-hee. Kim Jong-kook introduced Kim Gyeran as the "Yoo Jae-suk of the fitness world."
As a fitness enthusiast, Kim Jong-kook eyed Kim Gyeran's large bag with envy. Then, seeing Kim Gyeran's thorough preparation to always be ready for workouts, he expressed admiration.
Later, Kim Jong-kook said, "I'm not someone who only eats protein. People think I only like chicken breast, but actually, I like chicken thighs," which made everyone laugh. Except for Nam Chang-hee, the three shouted, "We hate muscle loss the most," bursting into laughter.
Kim Jong-kook and Kim Gyeran, who always use the gym whenever they go to a hotel, found many things in common and couldn't resist their mutual attraction.
