Bae Yong-joon's Trainer's Body-Shaping Book Tops Bestseller List

The fitness book "Design Your Body", written by actor Bae Yong-joon's personal trainer "JP" (Lim Jong-pil), topped the bestseller list in Korea following its huge success in Japan.

According to Bae's agency, BOF, on May 30, "Design Your Body" topped the bestseller list in the "hobbies/leisure" section of Kyobo Books and Interpark just two weeks after its release.

JP is widely known as the personal trainer for many high-profile celebrities including Bae Yong-joon, kwon Sang-woo, Rain and Cha In-pyo. Since his book gained popularity, he has received invitations to give lectures at department stores and various culture centers.

JP was also largely responsible for the success of actor Bae Yong-joon's photo album "The Image, Vol. One" by helping Bae shape his body for the photo session in just 100 days. When "Design Your Body" was published in Japan, it even topped the overall list of bestsellers on the Japanese online shopping mall Rakuten.
