Early Life

Born in South Korea, Yeon-woo Jhi was a shy child growing up, admitting to have dealt with some serious social anxiety. She described herself as a frail and weak young girl, who severely lacked self-confidence.

At the age of 12, Jhi decided to start going to the gym, in order to increase her self-confidence and feel better about interacting with people. However, this quickly made her realize that she had a naturally aesthetic physique.

Yeon-woo not only started growing more confidence, but she started growing in size too. She was then challenged to enter a bodybuilding show at the age of 26, by friends who noted how impressive her physique had become.

Yeon-woo Jhi Bodybuilding Career

The first time that Yeon-woo Jhi competed on the bodybuilding stage was at the 2010 Korea YMCA, in the 52kg division. After winning this show, she discovered how much she enjoyed the competition and the fruits of her labor in the gym.

The following year she would begin working with coaching legend Chris Cormier, and he helped to propel her physique to the next level. 2011 would see her win the Muscle Beach International, and come in second at the NPC Excalibur, narrowly missing out on her Pro Card.

However, Yeon-woo would not be dissuaded and bounced back in 2012 with a third-place score at the Miss Korea. The work that she was dong was paying off though, and that became evident in 2013.

Competing at the Arnold Classic Europe, in the Women’s Physique division, Jhi was able to win the event, earning her IFBB Pro Card. She made history with this too, by becoming the first Korean athlete to do so.

Yeon-woo Jhi made her IFBB Pro debut at the 2015 IFBB Vancouver Pro, where she made a solid impact by coming in fourth place. This was followed up by a big 2016, where she competed at the Women’s Physique International, and even scored third at the New York Pro.

The following year, she would come back to the New York Pro, coming in fifth place. At the time of writing, this was the final time she stepped on stage as a bodybuilder.
