Introduction
Hello, throughout my school years, I lived with weight issues stemming from childhood obesity. I spent most of my adolescent years with an insecurity about my body, and at the age of 16, things became severe enough that my weight reached 125 kg. During that time, I was exhausted not only from the physical burden but also from immense mental stress, and I started weight training as a way to escape that pressure. When I first started working out, my goal was not grand. I simply wanted to regain control of my disrupted daily life and change myself. However, as I built up day by day while lifting barbells, exercise went beyond just a means to an end; it became the direction of my life and the language through which I could prove myself. As a result, in 2024, I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to join the 4th batch of the competitive team at Superbody Gym, regarded as one of Korea's best environments for developing Sports Models. That was how I spent my first season training under athlete Jung Dae-jin, the pinnacle and standard of Sports Model. I believe there are still many areas where I am lacking, both in terms of competition results and having a fully developed physique. Nevertheless, I do not deny my current shortcomings, but rather embrace them as room for growth. Moving forward, my goal is to progress step by step through consistent effort and self-discipline, and to one day grow into a Sports Model athlete who can proudly stand behind his own name.
