The surprising thing about his transformation was that he had no help from physical trainers—he did it all himself. In the caption, he stated that from July 16 to September 10, he paid ₩25,000 KRW (about $19.20 USD) for a workout book and worked out on his own. He added that he worked out for about two to three hours daily.

His transformation was incredible, and in an interview, Jung Sung Il stated that he worked really hard to achieve this body.

I wasn’t working at the time and I had an offer for an independent movie as the role of a killer with a fit body. I was desperate, so I accepted the offer and worked on my body.

In the end, the independent movie never happened. Even though the film didn’t work out, Jung Sung Il’s hard work paid off, and it was this hard work and determination that brought the actor to success.

Jung Sung Il stated that he had to get back in shape for The Glory because the director wanted Ha Do Young to look sharp and sensitive. This time, however, he admitted he needed the help of his company and a personal trainer because it was too difficult doing it alone.

We can confidently say that he portrayed the role of Ha Do Young perfectly!
