“Excuse me, but my eyes are up here.”
We’ve featured plenty of beautiful women before on RocketNews24, but Korea’s Jhi Yeon-woo is easily the strongest of them all.
When you first look at her, though, the reason why might not be immediately apparent:
▼ Hey, she’s pretty cute. But I don’t see what’s so-
▼ Oh.
▼ Ohhh.
▼ She has a higher number of curves
than any other woman we’ve seen before!
Yeon-woo has competed in female bodybuilding contests both in South Korea and internationally, winning several of them. She’s become a bit of a celebrity in her home country, where her atypically adorable appearance has earned her the nickname “King Kong Barbie.”
▼ Apparently she doesn’t take offense to the name though, because if she did, there would be a lot more broken noses in the world.
▼ Gym selfies – the most important part of working out.
▼ When you’re in the elevator going to work and
you see how jacked you are in the reflection.
▼ This is pretty much how I feel after I help someone open a pickle jar.
▼ Those hamstrings though!
And just in case there are any doubters, here’s a video of Yeon-woo posing and taking pictures with fans. Seeing them all smiling and flexing together is pretty cute.
If bench-pressing with (or being bench-pressed by) Yeon-woo sounds like a dream come true to you, then come join the 30-thousand-plus followers over at her Instagram account. It may just be the inspiration you’ve been looking for to get a little muscle yourself.
