The 31-year old electrician stands 176 cm tall and weighs 79 kg; and with 40 successful Red Nail bend in training, he was more than ready to meet the challenge for his certification.  Jae Uk Mun noted that in addition to bending he also trains with Captains of Crush (CoC) grippers and that he does hammer curls as a warm up before he starts bending, so that might be a good tip for those who haven’t given this a try.  He said his lower arm strength is an asset both at home and on the job.

Congratulations, Jae Uk Mun, and many thanks to Sumin Hong for serving as the official referee: Jae Uk Mun’s name has been added to the Red Nail Roster, recognizing his accomplishent.
