Lee Jun Young, Jung Eun Ji and team are on standby as the 24-Hour Gym (Korean title for Pump Up the Healthy Love) is about to officially open for business.

Pump Up the Healthy Love follows Do Hyun Jung (Lee Jun Young), a vigorous fitness enthusiast, correcting the lives of novice gym members.

The second teaser opens with a glimpse of Lee Mi Ran (Jung Eun Ji), a newbie gym-goer who's passionate about food. Mi Ran's love for food runs so deep that she's constantly pondering how to get the perfect taste. Her indulgence in universally beloved comfort foods — fried chicken, pizza, and tteokbokki — offers a satisfying vicarious mukbang experience that's sure to whet viewers' appetites.

But Mi Ran's life takes a dramatic turn when she meets Do Hyun Jung (Lee Jun Young), the muscle-obsessed trainer who lives and breathes fitness. A true believer in the gospel of working out, Hyun Jung comes before Mi Ran, meeting her where she's at. With a mission to transform health and physique, he connects with Mi Ran and the other members, only to end up taking full control over them.

The gym members — including the "Witch Trio" Im Seong Im (Park Sung Yun), Yoon Boo Young (Lee Ji Hye), and Park Dul Hui (Hong Yoon Hwa) — soon realize that there's nothing scarier than the genuine passion of a fitness fanatic like Hyun Jung, a man utterly obsessed with working out. While Hyun Jung blissfully builds his muscles, Mi Ran suffers through his intense training sessions. 

Will Hyun Jung succeed in transforming the gym members? Will Mi Ran, the "Witch Trio", and others survive Hyun Jung's fitness mania?

Pump Up the Healthy Love is set to premiere on April 30. News about the K-drama's global OTT platform is yet to come. Watch the teaser here.
