Davichi's Kang Min-kyung Gets Real About Hating the Gym After 20 Years

Davichi's Kang Min-kyung is showing fans a more honest side of her fitness routine. The K-pop singer, known for her strict self-discipline, admitted she still dreads going to the gym after two decades of working out.

On the 23rd, a new video went up on Kang's YouTube channel, following her through a packed schedule. She has been juggling preparations for a new song and a year-end concert, making preparations for her move, and organizing a charity bazaar.

Right before heading to the gym, Kang got real with the camera. "How can I have worked out for 20 years and still not want to go for 20 years," she said. "At this point I should just accept my fate and go, but fighting with myself every morning like this makes me feel pathetic."

She went further. "I don't know why I keep trying to bargain with myself and fight about it," she said. Then she pushed back at her own excuses. "When was it ever easy to go? When have you ever liked going to the gym? Was there ever a day you went feeling excited?" After the pep talk, she finally headed out the door. Once at the gym, she moved into a high-intensity training session.

Kang has shared her fitness habits before, including a one-meal-a-day approach paired with regular workouts. She is known to maintain a frame of 168 cm and 52 kg.

The clip lands as more K-pop artists lean into unfiltered, day-in-the-life content on YouTube, trading polished image-making for something closer to a personal diary. For a veteran like Kang, who debuted with Davichi in 2008, that shift means fans get to see the work behind her image, not just the result.
