SHINee’s Minho demonstrated his incredible stamina by participating in a fitness competition in the morning and performing at an SM concert in the afternoon.
On the 11th, the YouTube channel ‘Choi Minho’ uploaded a video titled “Three days with the SM family. But in between, I went to Osaka for the Hyrox competition.”
The video showed Minho visiting Japan to participate in the SM concert and the Hyrox competition.
Minho explained, “SMTOWN 2026 will be held in Fukuoka tomorrow and the day after. Strangely, whenever there’s an SM concert in Japan, there’s also a Hyrox (indoor fitness competition) event.” He added, “I’ll perform tomorrow, head to Osaka early the next morning for the competition, and then return to Fukuoka.”
On the day of the competition, Minho traveled by train for approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach the venue in Osaka by 6 a.m. He candidly shared, “I must have been nervous. I want to finish within an hour.”
After the event, when his coach commented, “Why are your lunges so slow?” Minho expressed his disappointment, saying, “It felt like it was over right after the turning point,” and “I have nothing to say. I’m embarrassed.”
However, Minho had no time to dwell on his regrets as he quickly moved to Fukuoka for concert rehearsals. As he shared his competition results in the waiting room, he was joined by TVXQ’s Changmin and EXO’s Chanyeol, who offered words of encouragement.
Particularly, Chanyeol comforted him, “You didn’t win this time, but I think you’ll come first next time. I’ll treat you to something delicious if you do,” adding a heartwarming touch.
