Exercise and Diet Management Aimed at Body Profile Photoshoot
"Strengthening Marital Bond... Positive Influence Is Great"
A middle-aged influencer couple in Korea, maintaining a fit body that belies their age, has attracted attention from foreign media.
On the 15th (local time), Hong Kong's South China Morning Post (SCMP) published an interview article with the couple influencers Kang Chang-dong (62) and Kim Sun-ok (57), who have about 300,000 Instagram followers.
Since 2022, the couple has been sharing videos of themselves working out together at the gym or outdoors on Instagram. SCMP introduced the couple as "a model of healthy aging."
According to the article, Kang set a goal in 2021 to take a body profile photo as one of his bucket list items, and soon his wife Kim joined him. Kang said, "When I turned 60, I saw many young people taking body profile photos online, and I thought I should challenge myself too."
The couple prepared for the photo shoot through a year of rigorous exercise and diet management. Kang said, "At our age, we can't prepare for a body profile photo shoot in just half a year like young people do," adding, "Increasing muscle mass is really difficult."
The body profile photo shoot became an important turning point in their lives. When it was time to shoot, they had balanced bodies with clearly defined abs. Kim was freed from the back pain she had been experiencing for a long time.
It is reported that the couple still works out at the gym five days a week. Through exercising, a deeper bond has formed between them.
The couple said, "Many young people told us they want to age like us and have become motivated to exercise," adding, "We are happy to be able to have a positive influence."
They plan to take senior model classes later this year and have expressed their goal to write a book about their experiences in the future.
