Never doubt an idol’s ability to get in shape. They literally put in the sweat, tears, and blood to ensure they’re in the best shape possible to keep up with their strenuous schedules. But there are a handful of idols who have sincerely grown to love working out as a hobby. Often labeled as the “gym rats” of their groups, here they are:
1. BTS Jungkook
From boxing to weightlifting, BTS Jungkook is a certified gym rat. Even the members were surprised to discover just how much Jungkook loves working out—he even packed dumbbells during one of the band’s trips abroad! Jungkook has also done various live broadcasts showcasing his boxing and home workout routines.
2. RIIZE Sungchan
There’s a reason why his character is a muscled deer. Comparing his days in NCT U to RIIZE, you’ll notice how much Sungchan has bulked up. He mentioned that after learning how to work out with Shotaro, he started researching and studying proper workout techniques on his own.
3. RIIZE Anton
Although Anton humbly claims he’s not the best athlete, his dedication says otherwise. Despite his hectic schedule, Anton maintains a consistent exercise routine, often swimming even when abroad. This dedication was evident in the band’s recent broadcast where they were learning how to swim.
