Kangnam completes 50km run, enduring extreme training by Lee Sang Hwa
Kangnam shared an anecdote about how he gained the stamina to run 50km after undergoing extreme training from his wife, Lee Sang Hwa.
Singer Kangnam has revealed his transformed physical fitness following rigorous training by his wife, Lee Sang Hwa. During a recent broadcast, Kangnam shared how his daily life has changed after undergoing extreme workouts under Lee Sang Hwa's guidance following their marriage.
Special Training: His Wife Ordered Him to Get Out of the Car and Run Home
Kangnam revealed that since marrying Lee Sang Hwa, he has undergone training so grueling he calls it "extreme training." As Lee Sang Hwa is a former national athlete, Kangnam had to build up his stamina with the goal of completing an Arctic marathon. While the production crew was fine with him giving up halfway, his wife, a former national athlete, insisted that he must finish the race.
Kangnam shared an anecdote about being caught off guard by Lee Sang Hwa's sudden training methods. While they were driving and talking after watching a movie, Lee Sang Hwa suddenly ordered him to get out of the car and run all the way home. Kangnam added that he had to run 15km at the time, and he has repeated such processes nearly 100 times. He even admitted feeling intimidated by Lee Sang Hwa's thoroughness, noting that she would take his phone away to prevent him from taking a taxi midway.
Fatty Liver Disappeared, Gained Stamina to Run 50km
This grueling process led to significant physical changes for Kangnam. He stated that thanks to Lee Sang Hwa, his body is now capable of running 20km comfortably, and even his fatty liver has disappeared. Although he initially felt hurt by his wife's forceful training style, he eventually admitted she was right as his physical condition improved.
Recently, Kangnam has been showing great passion by maintaining consistent exercise, earning him the nickname "Incheon Taegeukgi." He has been engaging in high-intensity running comparable to a marathon, sometimes running over 50km a day while checking maps. While the broadcast showed him running for over 5 to 6 hours while thinking of Lee Sang Hwa, Kangnam mentioned that he often thinks Lee Sang Hwa must have had it even harder than him while exercising.
Kangnam noted that their relationship was not like this during their dating years, implying that following his wife's orders to get out of the car and run is by no means easy. Regarding his efforts, those around him have reacted by saying he is a "good husband" for silently following his wife's demands.
