Overview


He is a famous Korean fitness player and businessman

1. As a fitness player,

He has great pride in being a pioneer in the Korean fitness industry, and he is a very ancestor-like person who has been active since the time when there was no concept of fitness in Korea and spread fitness in Korea. He's a great guy. When you look at his body, you automatically say something amazing, and when you see him teaching someone how to exercise or exercising, you will see that he has great professional skills.


2. As a celebrity,

He is also famous for "Jingman" of the Korean comedy show "Comedy Big League." 

Jingman

Like Lee Tae-sun's band at the Gag Concert, he was famous as a man who gongs to announce the end of the corner in the comedy big league. He is a positional player in the fitness world as he has the title of the most winners among active fitness players in Korea. In addition, he has been active on SNS and appeared on TV, not only in Korea but also in the United States. His popularity is quite high around the world, including Europe and China. Because of his splendid career, he is highly regarded in terms of exercise among people who work out.


3. As a businessman and YouTuber,

He is engaged in numerous businesses in Korea, China and Asia. In fact, his words and actions on YouTube show that he is a businessman. Hwang Cheol-soon is currently engaged in various businesses and other activities in addition to the gym, but he also revealed that he is working on various models.

He says he makes money for models such as supplements companies, EMS devices, cosmetics, underwear and health machines, and he also makes money for gyms, event fees and tilapia. He did not reveal the exact amount, but said it was hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. He once said that his debt was $800,000, but now I guess he has paid it all off. Perhaps it has been a long time since he made this remark, and now his wealth is considerable.

Of course, he may have lost money because he couldn't open the gym, but recently, he has a large number of subscribers by showing various drinking and eating snacks such as seafood as YouTubers. This is trainer Hwang Chul-soon, who is also active on Instagram.

Hwang Chul-soon herself once said that it is never easy for fitness players or bodybuilders to make money simply by exercising. He argued that he should constantly promote himself through social network services such as Instagram and YouTube to appeal his value to his sponsors. Ulysses Jr. is said to be paid more than 10 times the salary of Ronnie Coleman in his heyday, and he is said to be paid more than Phil Heath. According to Hwang Chul-soon's claim, many top athletes, including Olympia, have only a hat in training, but he never takes off his sunglasses while continuing to set his hair. He slept for only 2 hours, took a shower, touched his hair, worked out, and touched his hair again.

As engaged in bodybuilding

 

He used to be skinny in the mid-50kg range, but now he has a fairly sturdy physique in the mid-110kg range, a wide shoulder frame, and a world-class chest and considerable muscle overall. 

He won several fitness competitions, including Muscle Mania, based on his overwhelming bulk and excellent conditioning and deference. In addition, his performance was quite impressive, so in 2008, he came out wearing a wolf mask and performed and received cheers, and in addition, he showed various dynamic performances and movements with a body of more than 90kg, receiving a lot of favorable reviews at the fitness competition. 

As engaged in bodybuilding

He is practically the top in the industry in terms of simple bodybuilding in Korea. In addition, there is an anecdote that in his early career, he spent more than $10,000 to grind his teeth while taking out loans to meet the screening criteria of the competition. At least in terms of his passion, skills, and career as a fitness player, he is certain to be at the top.

Hwang Chul-soon has competed in overseas fitness competitions since the concept of fitness was unfamiliar in Korea, and according to him, he owed a lot to participate in world competitions when he was unknown in the past. He needs quite a lot of money to participate in the world tournament, but he said he had never seen anyone who had less money than him among professional players. He seems to have a lot of pride as a pioneer in the Korean fitness world because he went through a long minor life, including these financial problems.

Body, muscles

 

Although he is a fitness player, he has a larger muscle size than a heavyweight bodybuilder, especially his upper body muscles. He won the Lee Seung-chul Classic and the Kim Joon-ho Classic against heavyweight bodybuilders in Korea, including Park Geun-woo and Son Sung-joon.

Lee Seung-chul vs Hwang Chul-soon, Mr. Olympia Open


The overwhelming upper body of the non-Asian class,

His strongest point is his chest. His chest muscles are developed to a tremendous level, and his shoulders are also as developed as his chest. He has the best bulk in Korea and there may be differences in photography even when standing side by side with Lee Seung-chul, who competes in the Mr. Olympia Open weight class, but Hwang Chul-soon looks bigger on his shoulders and chest. 

Of course, Lee Seung-cheol is naturally superior in terms of frame, body thickness, and arm circumference, but the fact that a fitness player is comparable to a bodybuilder who goes to the Olympia open weight class is enormous. His chest muscles are presumed to be natural, and even in the previous photos with a very slim physique, it was safe to say that the bulk of his chest muscles was at the level of a lightweight bodybuilder. 

The overwhelming upper body of the non-Asian class,

Perhaps because of this, he is said to be able to bench press nearly 200 kilograms. If he focuses on raising the weight in a power lifting manner, not training for stimulation-oriented muscle management, I guess it will not be impossible to exceed 200kg within a few months. However, compared to his enormous upper body, his lower body is considered insufficient compared to heavyweight bodybuilders. 


The biggest advantage is the performance,

Above all, Hwang Chul-soon's great advantage is that she is unrivaled in attracting bodybuilding fans with her pose and entertainment. His position is very neat and clean, and he brings fire with his performance in every tournament. In particular, he became a big issue with 2 million views in two months in a video clip of Lee Seung-chul's classic Grand Prix. 

He was embarrassed to show a zero-two dance at Kim Joon-ho's Classic. Hwang Chul-soon appeared in the comedy Big League in the past as a Jingman to promote the fitness industry to the public, and has recently been engaged in various activities, including participating in various domestic matches for publicity purposes. 


Workout style,

His exercise method is to like stretching and first grasp the overall shape of the muscles and then create details. He says he prefers to exercise by stimulating it with an appropriate high weight rather than too heavy weight. In addition, he actively utilizes assistance and forced repetition, often trains to push his partner to the limit by exercising with him next to him.
His abdomen is as thick as his chest, so many people say he has become more like a heavyweight bodybuilder than a fitness player from the side.

 Perhaps that's why these days, when he poses, he can be seen adjusting his stomach to make it vacuum, but sometimes there is a scene where his stomach protrudes because he breathes heavily, and his abdominal muscles are very clear, so it's a little scary. Netizens say this is palumboism caused by growth hormones, but Hwang Chul-soon denied it, saying it was nonsense.


FFMI change,

When Musclemania America won the 2012 award, he was said to weigh 85 kilograms, but his body fat percentage in photographs is less than 4 percent at most. Considering that he adjusted his moisture before the tournament, assuming that he had 4% body fat in the second half of 80kg, his FFMI is 26. And in 2014, he weighed 94kg, but gained nearly 10kg. His bulk has increased a lot again, and his body fat rate seems to be extremely low, not just body fat, but almost all muscles. 

FFMI change,

Since 2010, his overall size, including the trapezius and shoulder, has grown to an incredible level, starting with his side getting thicker, and his definition has improved in additionally. His body shape itself has changed considerably in three to four years. 

For reference, there is a video of Hwang Chul-soon answering 95kg to a person who asks her weight just before the stage in a competition she has been in with Ulysses Jr. since the 2010s. Considering that Hwang Chul-soon lowered her body fat to less than 3% in addition to the anthracite banding just before the tournament and controlled moisture, FFMI is 30!!!

Considering that his FFMI was about 24 in the late 2000s, he gained nearly 20kg in just a few years with muscles and the FFMI index increased to about 5 or more.

Hwang Cheol-soon's Wedding

Hwang Chul-soon's wedding was a hot topic because it was a really special wedding, right?  Many celebrities and celebrities also came, and comedian Lee Sang-joon hosted the event, and famous Muscle Mania models appeared on the celebration stage to perform an event wedding show.

<Wedding Anniversary Celebration>


People with good bodies came out and saw various walks and events at the wedding hall, and I thought it was so cool. I'm not a player, but I had a lot of desire to build up my body, and Hwang Chul-soon's wife, Ji Yeon-ah, also married Hwang Chul-soon in November 2019, but the wedding was held on February 9, 2020.


Drinking bodybuilder

Jingman and Hwang Chul-soon are well known as alcohol lovers, and I was surprised that they really liked drinking even though they were gym professionals enough to say that they couldn't sleep if they didn't drink for a day.

Drinking bodybuilder

He even said that he was born with a liver, but I don't know if his drinking capacity increased because he exercised. Even if you didn't exercise, I'm really curious about how much you drink, but drinking a lot is not good for your health, so I think it's important to eat moderately. I like to drink, but I guess I'll crawl around in front of Hwang Chul-soon.


Connections in the bodybuilder community

He seems to be close to various fitness players such as fitness players Kim Chang-geun and Cho Jung-eun, and in addition, he seems to be close to other orthodox bodybuilders such as Kim Joon-ho and Lee Seung-chul. Muscle mania is his main stage, but as several fitness competitions have been held in Korea since then, he has also appeared in All-Star Classic and fitness stars.

He usually reveals his opinions or upload exercise videos through Instagram and YouTube. Close friends include bodybuilder Kim Chang-geun, Piggyback player Park Hyung-hyung, Cho Jong-eun, and high school boxer-turned-sports model Yang Ho-seok.

He is close to not only fitness players like Ulysses Jr., but also overseas bodybuilders. He has Instagram followers with many Olympian classical bodybuilders, including Sean Rodden, Kai Green, and Hidetada Yamagishi.

Summary of the 2012 Muscle Mania Awards

Source: NewsWire

On December 24, 2012, Korean athletes won the title of the "World's Strongest" at the Musclemania Fitness America, a large bodybuilding & fitness competition involving 600 athletes from more than 20 countries around the world.

Among them, Hwang Chul-soon, a celebrity who is active as a Jingman in the Comedy Big League, has become the world champion and is becoming a big issue.

Athletes participating in the Muscle Mania Fitness America World Cup will be determined through selection competitions in each country. This year, about 10 athletes from Korea participated as representatives. Among them, Hwang Chul-soon, a member of Spomax, a company specializing in health supplements, won this year's world championship by setting a milestone of the Grand Prix and No. 1 professional in Muscle Mania's professional division.


Hwang Chul-soon's gym location

Many people are curious about his gym. Hwang Cheol-soon runs a gym called Clean Fit in Seocho-gu, Seoul. The gym is located in the Namgo Terminal in Seoul and is open 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. There are ordinary people there, but many people are preparing for the game. I think the gym is also equipped with the best facilities because he is probably a talented player who has won the world championship.

Finish


So today, we had a brief time to learn about trainer Hwang Chul-soon.

I didn't know exactly about Hwang Chul-soon, but I think I know a lot of things while posting this time. When someone is at the top of a field, it means they've put a lot of effort into it. 

Hwang Chul-soon, who had a lot of controversy, is still great. He seems to be doing a lot of activities on YouTube and Instagram, and of course, there are many anti-fans in various fields, but I hope he succeeds.

When I look at my body, I keep wanting to raise it as soon as possible. Hoping that the day will come when I can go to the gym freely soon, I will end today's posting on Hwang Chul-soon. 

Thank you...
