During the showcase for their new mini-album on July 18, BEAT WIN talked about many different things, including member Youngjo's high ranking at the '2016 MuscleMania.'

He said about placing third, "I trained my body through gymnastics since I was young, so I felt confident. I wanted to try out for it once, and I'm pleased and happy that I got third place. I went out for it wearing a bathing suit that stuck to me to the point I was embarrassed, but the result was good. I ended up competing because my trainer at the gym I go to recommended me."

Congrats again! That's pretty incredible!

The body is okay but that face? Looks scary!!

BakaKaori imthatxx • Monday, July 18, 2016

Yeah, I think part of it is that he used some type of tanning lotion and oil on his body, but then didn't do the same to his face. It almost looks like a photoshop image, like his face doesn't match his body.

You're totally right!

Needs a little meat on that cute face, nevertheless still hot. Please eat more after this.

bangeryun94 • Monday, July 18, 2016

Honestly, that's not a very healthy look in that photo. His face looks like he hasn't eaten for days.

xSeulgi bangeryun94 • Monday, July 18, 2016

I think most people in these competitions try to become as lean as possible, and don't eat the day they are being ranked, he may have skipped a couple extra days though with that face.

SaVanityVan xSeulgi • Monday, July 18, 2016

More like a couple extra weeks. It takes weeks, if not months, of near starvation to be that unhealthily thin. Let's hope he was just doing it for this one competition and doesn't have a serious problem.

NiliriaD xSeulgi • Monday, July 18, 2016

It is not starvation, that'd be counterproductive. What you see is the result of tanning and most likely dehydration 1 or 2 days prior to the competition in order to drop water weight and have their muscles look more defined.

Obviously you guys dont know anything about professional body builders and what not otherwise you wouldint say things like this. I know alot since i actually wanted to do it myself, still thinking about it.

bangeryun94 Snni • Monday, July 18, 2016

I used to swim competitively and I had a Nazi for a trainer so yes, I do know what I'm talking about. I don't know where or who he trained with but I'd stay as far away from that place as possible. Just for future reference if you decide to stick around here ... I only comment on things I know about.

Snni bangeryun94 • Tuesday, July 19, 2016

swimming competitively is not the same as body building last time i checked, thats like saying i know everything about football because i play basketball competitively.

bangeryun94 Snni • Tuesday, July 19, 2016

I did the same things Youngjo did to get competition ready. I lifted weights to build muscle in my legs and arms. I had 2% body fat and bigger guns than my twin brother who was a wrestler. You don't know much about Korean body building apparently.

At the most basic parts of both Swimming and Bodybuilding, they both focus on developing the body in the healthiest way possible. It's just that after a certain point swimming becomes more focused on muscle memory while body building focuses on developing either trimmer/larger muscles. And for the record, most of my body building friends take on swimming in place of their cardio because it's one of the best ways to lose fat. PS @Snni Thinking about doing something and actually doing it are two completely different things. So I don't think you can say that you actually "know alot" about BB

Snni ibubblesaur • Friday, July 22, 2016

Ive had to study it because im thinking about it, i also do work out its not like im sitting on my computer with my 300 pound ass lol. So i have studied up and even took more than one physical class in high school to figure my path out. My point still stands.

bangeryun94 Snni • Saturday, July 23, 2016

Your point is invalid unless you're in Korea, thinking about body building. Koreans will take short cuts, starve themselves, use supplements that are dangerous and be pushed to the point where their bodies are irreparably damaged. That's why I stopped swimming competitively. I had no body fat but my trainer demanded I slim down more when I weighed 106lbs. Most people who are into a healthy life style work out. If you're still in high school I can understand why you said what you did. I don't recommend becoming a body builder in Korea.

The End
