“I’m at ONE championship. I’m an MMA fighter, Choo Sung-hoon,” he explained in the first episode. “I started judo at three or four and trained until I was 30. After that, I did MMA for 17 years. I compete with younger people, too. I want to show people that even at this age, there’s a way to beat young people. Don’t underestimate this middle-aged guy.”

The accomplished fighter’s family is also well-known. That’s because he did a reality TV show called The Return of Superman where celebrity dads take care of their children by themselves for the day. His daughter Choo Sarang became famous after that.
