LUN8 member Kael won a gold medal in athletics. On October 6, Kael competed in the 60m race at MBC's "2025 Chuseok Special Idol Star Athletics Championships" (hereinafter "ISAC") and took home the gold medal. From the preliminaries, he ranked first among all participants with his superior physique and overwhelming speed. In the finals, he reached the finish line as the fastest leader, securing the gold medal.
Kael said, "I am so proud to finally be someone my members and LUVITY can be proud of. I believe I won first place today not for myself, but for my members and LUVITY. I am very grateful to the members and LUVITY who cheered for me." He mentioned his mother, who was a former track athlete, saying, "I can now proudly tell my mother that I came in first." He also expressed respect for his fellow artists, saying, "All the artists who ran together worked so hard. ISAC is the best!"
Kael won the silver medal in the 60m race at ISAC when he first participated last year. By winning medals in the same event for two consecutive years, he has established himself as a representative "athletic idol" of the 5th generation. Kael boasts a height of 186cm, the tallest in LUN8, and has excellent athletic ability. Since his debut, he has also participated in ceremonial first pitches in professional volleyball and baseball games.
Last month, LUN8 released their second single album, "LOST." Through promotions of the title track "Lost," they have shown the epitome of "dark sexy" and received great love from global fans. Kael's gold medal win is expected to further boost LUN8's popularity.
