MMA fighter Choi Hong-man opened up about the realistic challenges he faces on airplanes.
On the 12th, Choi posted a photo on his Instagram with the caption, "Small plane. Please don't recline your seat," along with a picture taken inside the cabin.
The photo shows the view from Choi's eye level sitting in a cramped seat, with the back of the front seat filling almost the entire frame, conveying his sense of discomfort.
At 218 cm tall, just a slight recline of the seat seems to eliminate any knee space in an instant. With his long arms and legs, sitting in economy class of a standard airline is already quite challenging. Although the photo composition revealed the front seat passenger, which was slightly disappointing, his 'airplane struggle' was palpably felt.
Born in 1980, Choi Hong-man started his career as a ssireum (Korean wrestling) athlete and transitioned to MMA in 2005, gaining great popularity under the nickname 'Techno Goliath'.
Recently, he has been showcasing his charm by appearing in various web entertainment and broadcast programs.
