IFAD Ambassador Bio <3
Hajung Lee
Location : Seoul, South Korea
Hello, my name is Hajung Lee. I am a 37 years ol,d and I living in Korea. I’m the founder and instructor of Fitstaz. I introduced a new style of fitness to Korea, and also created new fitness programs. I am the first Hooper in Korea, and the hula hoop community is slowly getting more popular right now.
I was a social worker for 10 years (when I was 20 to 30 years old) and tribal fusion belly dancer for 8 years. A few years ago I was diagnosed with a rare disease, that caused my bone to grow in to my right optic nerve. Suddenly my eyes were sore when I turn, so I stopped being a dancer, and turned a fitness instructor. Nope. I never gave up. I knew I could dance again, I just needed time to fight it. 2 years ago I really wanted to be a hooper, and I knew I needed to turn a lot. So I started training myself to cover my eyes, and turn around with a sense of body rather than the lens of my eyes.
Now I can turn no problem, finally I can dance again, and ‘I am a hooper’!! It takes time, but nothing is impossible I believe. I am very grateful that I’m part of IFAD Ambassadors and this event will spread the world most positive energy. Thank you. <3
