Exercise together three times a week... display of affection

Cha In-pyo has been sweating in a boxing arena with his wife Sin Ae-ra for three weeks. In the midst of their busy schedules, they exercise together three times a day, taking care of their health and showing off their love. Cha In-pyo recently said, "A friend introduced me to boxing. I thought it was an extreme sport but it has good effects and it's fun, so I do it with Sin Ae-ra".

"After starting boxing, Sin Ae-ra jokes and puts on her boxing gloves and tells me to hit her if we have a fight. I've exercised a lot at fitness clubs, but boxing is better because we can both enjoy it".

Cha In-pyo, who used to be a leading 'best body', destroyed his body for the movie "Crossing". It was to show his character more realistically. He has finished filming and started exercising again. "Sin Ae-ra doesn't really like the muscular type. I thought that boxing would be more effective than building muscle".

The couple married in 1995 and had their first son Jung-min (10) and adopted their second and third child, Ye-eun and Ye-jin.

As devoted Christians, the couple named their child 'Ye-eun' meaning blessing from Jesus and 'Ye-jin' meaning the ultimate truth revealed by Jesus. On 28th, Sin Ae-ra said, "I'm delighted to give a young sister to Ye-eun. The correct terminology is the 1st and 2nd adoption and I think the process of 1st adoption is much harder and complicated while the 2nd adoption comes rather naturally".
