Meet Asian Arnold Schwarzenegger ‘Hwang Chul Soon’
There are many bodybuilders in the world who everyday post their pictures and video on social media. If you are fitness freak or follow any such people than you must have seen or heard about Hwang Chul Soon.
Hwang Chul-soon is a South Korean bodybuilder who’s been called the “Asian Arnold Schwarzenegger” and “Korean Hulk” — all for obvious reasons. He’s won a number of bodybuilding and fitness competitions all over America, placing first in the 2014 Musclemania Universe and the 2012 Musclemania World Championship.
Soon is very popular on social media. He has half a million followers on Facebook and near about 400K followers on Instagram.
But things were not the same before. “When I turned 20 I had a very thin body and weighed only 57kg (125lb),” Hwang said. “I was treated with disrespect. People looked down at me in situations like if I was returning goods to a store, or helping someone or speaking to strangers.” He said while talking to Barcroft.tv.
Soon stands 5 feet 10 inches tall, and recently made news for doing as many as 1000 crunches in a day. He spend last 12 years of his life following the strict diet.
“Now that I am much bigger, people treat me with more respect. They call me the ‘Asian Sensation’, ‘Asian Pride’ and the ‘Asian Arnold’.” He says.
And if you think that he can’t have a normal size girlfriend so let me tell you that he has a very charming girlfriend. When asked about his love life during a 2014 interview, Hwang said:
“I have many girlfriends.” Then he was asked, “Do you have a lover?” To which Hwang replied, “I have many lovers, too. I can’t be anyone’s property. I belong to everyone.”
“His perfect body and shape was very impressive and he looked like the man I was looking for. It was I who asked him out first,” Su told Barcroft.
