Im Si-wan “Only chicken breast + salad for muscles… “6% body fat” (Boston, 1947)

Actor Im Si-wan mentioned the effort he put in to play the role of a marathoner.

At the press conference for the movie ‘1947 Boston’ held at the Lotte Cinema Konkuk University entrance in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 11th, Im Si-wan said, “The thing I spent the most time on for my role was diet and exercise.”

He said, “From the time I started filming until the end, my diet consisted of chicken breast and salad, and I had to exercise every day. “I didn’t want my muscles to look firm, so I tried to maintain them by exercising in between filming,” he said. “I tried to resemble Seo Yun-bok’s appearance as much as possible, and when I measured my body fat on InBody, my body fat percentage came out to be 6%. “I was surprised too,” he confessed.

Ha Jung-woo said, “I watched from the side the effort Im Si-wan put in and the time he spent preparing to become Seo Yun-bok. “He really looks like an athlete,” he praised, adding, “I think teacher Seo Yun-bok will really like it.”

‘1947 Boston’ is a film that depicts the challenges and thrilling journey of marathon runners to participate in international competitions wearing the Taegeuk symbol for the first time after liberation in 1947. It is a movie adaptation of the stories of real people such as Son Ki-jeong and Seo Yun-bok, and will be released in theaters ahead of Chuseok on the 27th.
