Sexyama on his relationship with BTS' Jungkook and why he prefers going commando

Despite being in his forties, Sexyama definitely knows what it takes to keep himself in shape. The legendary Judoka and MMA fighter mentioned in the interview with Her World that he trains every day of the week, however, he doesn't exert himself too much as he frets about injuring himself during his training. Ideally, the star says that he works out at least for 10 to 20 minutes a day, and he only uses 70% of his strength to keep to a more sustainable routine.

When asked about what his life would be like without combat sports, the star was initially at a loss for words. However, after giving much thought, he responds, "I would most probably work for a company (as a salaryman)."

Sexyama and his wife, Shiho Yano, go way back, and if you didn't already know, the two starred in the hit South Korean reality-variety show, 'The Return of Superman', with their daughter Choo Sarang, whom you might be very familiar with.

But how did he meet his wife you might ask? Believe it or not, Shiho was in fact, the first one to make the move. Sexyama reveals, "My wife is a model in Japan, and at all the shoots that she goes to, she will ask my friends "Can someone introduce me to Akiyama?" And my friends introduced her to me. "Why don't you meet Shiho, she's a model" And that's how it happened."

The two tied the knot in March 2009 and have been together ever since.

You might have seen videos of Jungkook sparring with Sexyama himself, but have you ever wondered how it all happened?

In the interview Sexyama shared that it was him who reached out to Jungkook.  He said, "I invited him to train with me because it's much different from training with the amateurs. So I wanted him to experience what it's like to train with a professional. And Jungkook wants to do it again."

We know, it's the most unexpected collaboration we never know we needed. In fact, Sexyama himself also mentioned that Jungkook has what it takes to be a boxer if he puts his mind to it. "I'm surprised. Actually Jungkook has the potential to become a professional boxer if he focused on it, because he's a singer, but he if focused on just training, he could be a professional boxer," says Sexyama.

The two also have something in common: a large appetite. Sexyama reveals, "Jungkook drinks a lot. The three of us went to the Korean barbecue restaurant and ate 25 packs of meat, Kimchi-jiggae, fried rice, and ramen as well. He also eats a lot."

Did you know Sexyama loves going commando? Well, now you do. In our interview with him, he confirmed that he prefers not wearing an underwear when he's out to prevent any visible panty line. However, given that he has to wear one for other occasions, he says that he prefers wearing a thong instead.
