Kim Jong-kook, “I still have the stamina of a high school student”
Singer and broadcaster Kim Jong-guk shrugged, saying he had the vitality of a high school student.

On the 30th, a video titled 'A movie star who learns about fitness' was posted on Kim Jong-guk's YouTube channel, Jim Jong-guk. Jin Seon-gyu and Jang Dong-gyu, the main actors of the movie 'Count', appeared in this day's video.

On this day, Kim Jong-guk was asked at the opening ceremony, 'Will the Korean Equestrian Association do a collaboration with the Dragon Club?' He said, "If we don't do a horse riding entertainment show, we (will) ride a horse at Jimjong-guk once." “Okay, I like it like this. Please watch Jim Jong-guk and contact me if you are interested,” he said.

Jin Seon-gyu and Jang Dong-gyu appeared and moved in with Kim Jong-guk. Jang Dong-gyu said, “I overheard him and he said that everything would go well when he came to Jim Jong-guk to promote the movie.” Kim Jong-kook happily said, “It's been okay so far.” When Kim Jong-kook was told, "I was surprised that there were so many subscribers," he said, "Cha Tae-hyun asked me to send only 10,000 people when he was making his movie," making everyone laugh.

Jin Seon-gyu said, "I've been to the gym only a few times. I really like exercising. I haven't tried many exercise machines, but I like running, so I continued to wear out my ankle and iliotibial band. Since I didn't do strength training, it started to get worse as I got older." He said. Kim Jong-kook said, "He said such good things. Weights are basic. I need to establish a framework to do the exercise I like."

Jin Seon-gyu then said, "I also had back surgery twice," and Kim Jong-guk, who also had back surgery, hugged Jin Seon-gyu and said, "I touched his back and it was so soft," and " If you had back surgery, you must lift weights." ‘You should have done it,’ he said.

Jang Dong-ju said, "I used to wrestle a little. I did it when I was in high school, but when I started working as an actor, I started focusing on aerobic exercise to lose weight, so I started to feel lethargic. " Kim Jong-kook said, “A man shouldn’t be helpless,” and Jin Seon-gyu said, “I’ve felt that way for quite a long time.” Kim Jong-kook drew attention by saying, "There are times when I wonder if I'm still a high school student."

Kim Jong-kook also said, "I always say this to actors. If you're good-looking, don't exercise," and added, "But today I won't do it," making people laugh.

Next, we talked about 'Count'. Jin Seon-gyu said about his character, "I am a boxer who won a gold medal at the 1988 Olympics and returned to his hometown 10 years later in 1998. I gathered all my friends who were playing and those who were bullied, and I "trained them to be healthy mentally."

In response, Kim Jong-kook said, "Exercise is very essential for friends who play and those who are bullied. If friends who hang out also learn to exercise, they will learn humility. I learn humility by directly seeing strong people who are better. “than me.” Jin Seon-gyu, who heard this, said that Jang Dong-ju's character is like that.

Kim Jong-kook added, "I also came to my senses by going out to society and going to the boxing gym. I thought that I had never met the right person in my life."

Regarding the viewing point of 'Count', Jin Seon-gyu said, "It's healthy and refreshing," and Jang Dong-gyu added, "I cried halfway through watching it." Kim Jong-kook said of Jin Seon-gyu, "He has a boxing face," and "He is a man who has been fighting for about 20 years." Jin Seon-gyu said, "I had an after-party with Hwang Jung-min, and it was when we didn't know each other. But he said, 'Hey, did you box?' “He said so,” he said, laughing.

Kim Jong-kook then started training Jin Seon-gyu directly, saying that he needed weight training and saying, "For those of you who are curious about what to do when you go to the gym, I will tell you."

Meanwhile, 'Count' (Director Kwon Hyuk-jae), in which Jin Seon-gyu plays his first lead role since his debut, is about Si-heon (Jin Seon-gyu), a former gold medalist and a My Way teacher who never lets go once he bites, meets a ragtag group of hack-ass students and delivers a delightful blow to the world. It is a movie that tells a story. Released on February 22nd.
