by. soobyn Park

On February 2nd, a video of NCT 127 members Taeyong, Jaehyun and Jungwoo meeting Kim Jong-Kook and working out together was released on Kim Jong-Kook’s Youtube channel ‘Gym Jong-Kook.’

In the video, Taeyong confessed, "I have a really bad back. It is so severe the lower half of my body is nearly paralysed.”

In response, Kim Jong-Kook said, "Good job for making it today. As you know, I have been in a dance group since I was 20 years old. I have been in pain, have overcome the pain and then hurt myself again. I have a lot of experience so you are in safe hands.”

Other members also revealed their reason for volunteering to participate in the work out challenge. Jaehyun said, "Recently, I have been thinking that I want to get bigger." Kim Jong-Kook responded, "That sounds great. All idols are handsome and slim. If you want to make yourself stand out, you can upgrade your body and bulk up a bit and make a difference.”

He added, "Nowadays, it’s all about being healthy. The market has changed and it is more attractive to be muscular rather than skinny.”
