Why Wellness?

My lower body has always been strong. I used to see that as a flaw. Once I found Wellness, I realized it was my advantage.

What does your morning look like?

I run along Haeundae at six every morning, then go to the gym for legs. The sea air wakes me up and keeps me going.

Because I like it.

How do you handle comments about your body?

People still ask why a woman would want to be this muscular. These days I just smile and say: because I like it.

What’s next?

Earn my pro card, then compete across Asia.
