On the 23rd, Choi Hong-man shared two videos on his Instagram story without any captions.
The videos revealed Choi meeting Ma Dong-seok at a boxing gym. The encounter between the macho actor, known for his roles as a weight trainer for fighters, and the former MMA fighter was filled with tension. However, the atmosphere quickly shifted when singer Hwasa appeared, smiling and lightening the mood.
Choi Hong-man and Hwasa then proceeded to film content, clarifying that the meeting was not a showdown between Choi and Ma Dong-seok.
Meanwhile, Choi Hong-man, born in 1980, is 45 years old this year. He began his career in traditional Korean wrestling in 2003 before transitioning to mixed martial arts in 2005.
