Yun Sung Bin on Taking Body Profile
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.
