Kim Woo-bin's 10-Year Loyalty to Trainer Who Offered Free PT During His Unknown Days Revealed

Actor Kim Woo-bin's decade-long secret loyalty to trainer Yang Chi-seung, who provided him with free personal training during his struggling days, has recently come to light, sparking considerable interest.

In a YouTube video uploaded on the 'TteunTteun' channel on the 27th, starring Netflix 'Everything Will Be Granted' leads Kim Woo-bin and Suzy, the actor shared a heartwarming story.

When MC Yoo Jae-seok inquired about Suzy's recent absence from their shared gym, she cited busy schedules and international commitments. This led to a discussion about gym habits, with Yoo Jae-seok describing Suzy as quiet and focused, which in turn piqued curiosity about Kim Woo-bin's training style.

Kim Woo-bin hesitated when asked about his gym, eventually revealing that he had made a personal promise to himself to train alone for ten years. He explained that a former coach he'd received help from in his early days had mentioned training him on broadcasts, and Kim Woo-bin felt it was his responsibility to avoid potentially disrupting that coach's business by seeking further assistance from others. This self-imposed decade-long commitment was an expression of his gratitude for the crucial help he received when he had nothing.

Upon hearing this, Yoo Jae-seok expressed admiration, calling it a "heartwarming story," while Yang Se-chan was astonished by the loyalty shown without any contractual obligation.

Kim Woo-bin further elaborated that even when traveling for work, he enjoys purchasing day passes for local gyms. However, when trainers offered assistance, he would politely decline, wanting to honor his ten-year promise. Trainer Yang Chi-seung is known as the benefactor who supported Kim Woo-bin with free training and gym access during his less-known period, a fact Kim Woo-bin had previously acknowledged on air, mentioning how he developed broader shoulders through consistent training.

Kim Woo-bin began his career as a fashion model in 2006 before transitioning to acting. He quickly gained recognition for his tall stature and athletic build, establishing himself as a versatile actor. His roles in dramas like 'The Heirs' and 'Uncontrollably Fond' have solidified his status as a leading man in the Hallyu wave. Recently, his performance in the Netflix series 'Black Knight' showcased a darker, more intense side to his acting capabilities.
