KBS 2TV’s ’24-Hour Fitness Club’ Unveils Hilarious and Heartwarming Gym Life with Lee Jun-young and Apink’s Jung Eun-ji

’24-Hour Fitness Club’ Promises a Riotous Cocktail of Sweat, Laughter, and Growth

KBS 2TV’s brand-new Wednesday-Thursday drama, ’24-Hour Fitness Club’ (directed by Park Joon-soo and Choi Yeon-soo, written by Kim Ji-soo), has officially revealed its first glimpse into the hilarious fitness journeys of Do Hyun-jung (played by Lee Jun-young) and Im Mi-ran (played by Jung Eun-ji of Apink).

The newly released stills offer a sneak peek into the chaotic gym life between the two very different characters. Do Hyun-jung, once born as tiny as a 1.5kg dumbbell, transforms his life through sheer dedication, rising to become a world-class bodybuilder — only to inherit a rundown gym in desperate need of saving.

In a tough battle between entrepreneurial survival and personal training struggles, Hyun-jung meets Mi-ran, a life-weary newbie desperate for change. The stills showcase Hyun-jung intensely monitoring Mi-ran’s workouts, wearing a mischievous grin, while Mi-ran struggles through the grueling sessions, suffering hilariously but finding joy in her post-workout feasts. This stark contrast between agony and bliss makes their chemistry relatable and wildly entertaining.

The heart of the drama lies in how Mi-ran’s encounter with the gym-obsessed Hyun-jung sparks unexpected life changes. Their transformation journey is set to ignite viewers’ fitness ambitions while delivering a dopamine-packed narrative full of comic relief.

Writer Kim Ji-soo shared insights into the characters, stating, “Hyun-jung resolves every obstacle through exercise, embodying a true gym fanatic. His genuine care for his own body naturally extends to treating his clients with earnestness, making him impossible to hate.”

“Mi-ran is a lovable underachiever who tends to run towards comfort food when life gets tough. Despite their differences, Hyun-jung and Mi-ran’s mutual misunderstandings help them support and grow with each other,” Kim added, highlighting the depth behind the comic romance.

As the drama heralds the arrival of unique, memorable characters, the chemistry between Lee Jun-young and Jung Eun-ji has already caught attention. The production team described their on-screen rapport as “a chemistry oscillating between madness and magic,” promising viewers an unforgettable comic-romantic experience.

Setting the stage for a one-of-a-kind gym romance, ’24-Hour Fitness Club’ teases an irresistible journey of muscle, growth, and laughs where viewers will find themselves hilariously hooked after one episode.
