Jaejun Kang revealed that his goal is to lose 25kg.
Kang Jae-jun and Lee Eun-hyung, a representative couple in the comedy world, appear on TV CHOSUN's 'Couple Athletes' Village - This Life is the Same Episode' (hereinafter referred to as 'This Life'), which airs every Wednesday at 10 PM. This life episode shows the twists and turns of sports challenges of leading couples in the entertainment industry who started the three taboos of married couples, ‘exercising together.’
There is growing interest in whether Kang Jae-jun, an athletic genius who graduated from the Department of Physical Education at Yongin University, and his wife Lee Eun-hyeong, who has poor athletic ability despite her long limbs, will be able to dominate the badminton world as well as the comedy world.
Next is a Q&A with the production team of Kang Jae-jun and Lee Eun-hyung.
Maybe it's because they are a couple who are the 'representatives of the comedy world', but the energy they show on TV is unique. Is it the same in their daily lives?
Kang Jae-jun = In normal times, we bicker just like on broadcasts. I'm always trying to have fun and enjoy my daily life without stress.
Eunhyeong Lee = Everyday life is more noisy. You can think of it as more than what you see in the video.
Kang Jae-jun has often shown weakness in praising Lee Eun-hyung. What if he praises Lee Eun-hyung properly?
Kang Jae-jun = Eun-hyung is the only person on my side and on my side. He has a very kind and calm personality, is always loyal, and always stands by my side. And she looks even prettier in person and looks like a model.
Eunhyung Lee = I don’t know what Jaejun would have said, but if I had to praise Jaejun, I would say that Jaejun is good at everything! One hundred per day! He is a reliable person to live with.
Recently, there have been frequent articles about Kang Jae-jun's diet. Is there anything that has changed between Kang Jae-jun and Lee Eun-hyung since appearing in 'This Life'? Are you exercising regularly?
Kang Jae-jun = While watching ‘This Life’, I felt that I was stingy with my compliments to Eun-hyeong. Thanks to this program, I am trying my best to praise and express my feelings to Eunhyung. And I also started a proper diet. On TV, I looked very swollen and I was worried about my health more than anything, so I am exercising with the goal of losing 25kg within 6 months.
Eunhyung Lee = Jaejun exercised consistently and lost 15kg! I'm so proud of you. I'm looking forward to continuing to work out and get back to when we first met.
Is there anything you felt after seeing other couples?
Kang Jae-jun = I felt a lot from seeing them not only loving, respecting, and being happy with each other, but also fighting and disagreeing with each other. Watching them go through joys and sorrows together, I once again felt that a couple relies on each other to overcome difficult situations as well as good ones.
Eunhyeong Lee = As we have progressed from being lovers for a long time to being married, there are times when we feel too comfortable with each other, so there are times when it makes us feel a little disappointed, but when we look at other couples, there are so many things we can learn from them that are different from us. They seem like such a good couple that I want to meet up and have a meal once in a while. I want to become closer and exercise together.
What are the viewing points of this episode? What are some impressive scenes?
Kang Jae-jun = Although the couples are of different ages and have different goals in life, we see them eventually become one through the medium of sports. They have hobbies like sports, look at the same thing, fight, but rely on each other. Isn’t this a point to watch?
Eunhyeong Lee = I think it’s a huge challenge for a couple to do something together. In particular, I think I participated more actively in this exercise because I was able to keep up with Jaejun's athleticism. I liked how Jaejun stopped getting frustrated with me and started supporting and praising me. That part is the most impressive.
In the studio, husbands often say, “We are giving each other mirror therapy.” Why do you feel that way?
Jaejun Kang = Isn’t it because we each have so much in common? Especially when I feel like I'm reflecting in a bad way, I reflect on myself.
Eunhyeong Lee = I think all couples live almost the same way. So I sympathized a lot.
