On the October 4 broadcast of ENA variety show Ni Don Nae San, Choi Mina Sue appeared as the “avatar” of Lee Joon, following his spending choices and routines on his behalf.
As soon as she received a message informing her that Lee Joon had paid for a one-session personal training pass, Choi Mina Sue admitted, “This was the worst,” before adding, “It’s been such a long time since I last had a PT session,” drawing laughter.
She eventually arrived at the Pangyo gym owned by Lee Joon and changed into leggings and a sleeveless workout top. Upon seeing her, Kim Sook exclaimed, “You’re so slim,” while Jonathan reacted in surprise, asking, “Is this an advertisement?”
Despite the cast’s admiration for her figure, Choi Mina Sue unexpectedly revealed an insecurity about her body. When the trainer asked which area she was most concerned about while exercising, she replied, “My lower body, a little. My butt is on the smaller side.”
Hearing this, Yoon Eun Hye jokingly warned, “Once you say that, everyone is only going to look there.” Choi Mina Sue immediately responded, “Exactly. Please don’t look,” making the cast laugh.
Although Choi Mina Sue initially said she was not confident about doing squats, she received praise for her excellent form once the workout began. She admitted, “My stamina isn’t very good, so I tend to do just a little bit at a time, and my workouts are usually really short.” Nevertheless, her competitive side soon emerged, and she pushed herself to keep going despite the difficulty.
She then confidently declared, “I’m good at running,” and readily accepted a challenge against the trainer, enthusiastically increasing the treadmill speed to 15. Watching the two run side by side, Lee Joon could not hide his admiration and commented, “They look like fitness models.”
Although Choi Mina Sue eventually gave up the challenge first, she jokingly protested to Lee Joon, “Why are you doing this to me? I guess you really care a lot about my health.” After being forced to complete the workout while following Lee Joon’s routine, she complained, “I had muscle soreness the next day after doing this. It was so exhausting,” while still impressing the cast with her refreshed appearance.
Later, using the clues and spending history she had gathered, Choi Mina Sue correctly identified Lee Joon as the person behind her mission. She let out a celebratory roar and successfully received a full refund of everything she had spent during the challenge.
Meanwhile, Choi Mina Sue was born in 1999 and was named first runner-up at the 65th Miss Korea pageant in 2021. She later made headlines in 2022 after winning Miss Earth.
