My Little Old Boy Kim Hee-chul mentioned the importance of exercise but worried that his trapezius muscles might grow.
On the 14th broadcast of the SBS variety show My Little Old Boy (hereafter "My Little Old Boy"), scenes showed Kim Hee-chul revealing the home gym he decorated himself.
Kim Hee-chul had lost as much as 5kg for his 20th anniversary activities. Despite being in his 40s, he flaunted the beauty of his peak years. That day Kim Jong-kook mentioned Kim Hee-chul's changed appearance, saying, "Your face actually looks better. Keep taking care of it like you usually do."
Having installed a home gym, Kim Hee-chul said, "It's definitely important to work hard on the treadmill, but strength training is really important. You're almost 50, hyung, yet you're still firm," he said.
Agreeing, Kim Jong-kook chimed in toward Kim Dong-hyun, "Look at him too. Because he exercises consistently, regardless of being handsome or not, he's firm," which drew laughter.
Kim Jong-kook emphasized to Kim Hee-chul, "At your age it's definitely about strength," and added, "I moved houses, didn't I? I bought and installed all the exercise equipment. I installed my equipment in the shared gym," he confessed. Hearing this, Kim Hee-chul said, "The residents must be totally happy," and Kim Jong-kook said, "They thanked me. The elders said thank you."
Kim Hee-chul's home gym was revealed. The interior of the gym, plastered entirely in intense red, prompted Seo Jang-hoon to say, "That just looks like a waiting room," and Kim Jong-kook to react, "Did you set that up to be funny?" But Kim Hee-chul's mother defended her son, saying, "Hee-chul still made up his mind on this."
While touring the home gym, Kim Dong-hyun laughed, "Isn't there anything to add to the barbell? I've never seen someone buy weight plates in odd numbers. Don't people usually buy them in pairs?" Surprisingly, Kim Hee-chul had even purchased dumbbells in light 1kg weights, and Kim Jong-kook was baffled, asking, "What is this tiny thing used for?"
Kim Hee-chul lamented, "I have to do it this way so my trapezius doesn't come up. I'm an idol, so I have to manage my trapezius. What always worries me is that Jong-kook hyung and Bi hyung have bodies that are so cool but don't really suit me, do they?"
Kim Jong-kook said, "It doesn't happen like that," and Kim Dong-hyun added, "You'd have to do it three times a day like crazy for 10 years. Don't worry." Still, Kim Hee-chul said, "A body like rain on this face wouldn't suit me," and worried, "If I lift heavy things I might end up like hyung, like Choo Sung Hoon hyung." Kim Jong-kook shouted, "No, you can't do that," which made everyone laugh.
Meanwhile, Kim Hee-chul, who usually doesn't exercise consistently, confessed, "I'm a member of Ma Dong-seok hyung's boxing gym. I paid for a year and went twice."
Then Kim Dong-hyun said, "Could you come for us once as well? You're the best customer," and Kim Hee-chul joked, "Dong-seok hyung said that too. He said I'm the best customer."
