For many of us, fitness is more than just a routine—it’s a lifestyle that can transform us both physically and mentally. This holds true for singer and actor Nichkhun, actress Fang Rong and Physical 100 athlete Jeong Yun, all of whom have partnered with ASICS for its latest campaign, “Sound Mind, Sound Body.”
You might be familiar with Nichkhun already thanks to his days with the boy band 2PM. Not only is he good with a microphone, but the all-rounder artist is also a renowned actor, model and badminton player. “I make sure to practice and rehearse enough to the point where I can perform even in my sleep,” he said.
Nichkhun’s dedication to movement extends beyond his time on stage and the court as he shares that he’s in it for the long game. “It’s not just about what we see in front of us, that’s why it’s important to be healthy before anything else,” he said.
“Whatever excites my intuition is my way of moving,” Fang Rong said. The golf and yoga aficionado credits her regular workout regimen for maintaining her energy and focus amidst a hectic schedule. Starting her day with a run or a yoga session has become essential for her to tackle her demanding roles with vigour. Her journey with ASICS has further deepened her understanding of the importance of a balanced approach to wellness.
Fang Rong believes that embracing a sound mind in a sound body is not just about intense workouts but finding joy in movement. Whether it’s a serene morning jog or a high-intensity spin class, she emphasises the importance of consistency and enjoyment in her fitness journey.
And then you have Jeong Yun, a Korean fitness model best known for competing in Physical 100. He mirrors Fang Rong’s commitment to the philosophy of "Sound Mind, Sound Body." Known for his resilience and discipline, Jeong Yun integrates physical activity into his daily routine to maintain his competitive edge and mental clarity.
“The most important thing for me is winning competitions and finding balance within myself,” Jeong Yun said. His dedication to sports has not only shaped his athletic career but also instilled in him a profound sense of balance and well-being.
Nichkhun, Fang Rong and Jeong Yun’s message resonates universally: the pursuit of a sound mind and body transcends borders, and anyone can achieve it with dedication and the right mindset.
