Even during the fraud damage, he donated 10 million won... The news of the gym's closure has deepened Yang Chi-seung's 'good influence.'
Yang Chi-seung, a broadcaster and fitness trainer known as the personal trainer for Kim Woo-bin, Sung Hoon, and Han Hyo-joo, eventually announced the closure of the gym he operated. However, just a few months ago, he practiced donations for wildfire recovery even while facing economic difficulties due to a rental fraud incident, becoming a model of 'good influence.'
On the 15th, Yang Chi-seung officially confirmed the closure of his gym, 'Body Space,' through his social media, stating that it would cease operations on the 25th. He said, 'We are sequentially processing refunds for our members, and for those who have not received messages or calls, please give us a call,' showing his commitment to responsibility until the end.
This closure was not solely due to operational difficulties. Yang Chi-seung later discovered that the gym he opened, which was introduced by a friend, was contracted with a third party rather than the actual property owner, and as a result, he received an eviction order from the Gangnam District Office. Believing that he was moving into a space with a 20-year lease contract, Yang Chi-seung invested 400 million won in a rental deposit and even went through a home mortgage, meaning he essentially fell victim to a rental fraud.
Nevertheless, Yang Chi-seung donated 1 million won for recovery efforts in wildfire-affected areas including Ulsan, Gyeongbuk, and Gyeongnam last April. He remarked, 'It was a tough time personally, but I wanted to help those in greater need,' and pledged, 'I want to live harder aiming for a 10 billion won donation,' receiving applause from many.
Despite this situation, internet users have been sending heartfelt messages of encouragement to Yang Chi-seung, calling him 'a truly wonderful person,' saying, 'People like him should succeed,' and 'Stay strong, director.'
Meanwhile, the video Yang Chi-seung released showing the inside of the gym depicted him posting the closure announcement, further weighing on viewers' hearts. Leaving guiding messages for members throughout the gym, he made a deep impression with his unwavering sense of responsibility and sincerity.
Yang Chi-seung, who practiced good influence even during tough times. Although he is currently experiencing the pain of closure, many are cheering for the day he can smile again.
