The first South Korea show of 2024 is ready.
The 2024 Asia Grand Prix (AGP) Pro Men’s Physique show is scheduled in Gyeonggi State, South Korea, on Sunday, April 28, 2024. This event is a 2024 Men’s Physique Olympia qualifying event. The winner becomes eligible to compete on the sixtieth Olympia Weekend in Las Vegas, NV, on Oct. 10-13, 2024.
Seven competitors representing 4 different nations will clash on stage. None have qualified for the 2024 Olympia yet. The roster of athletes is below:
2024 AGP Pro Men’s Physique Roster
- Gantulga Altankhuyag (Mongolia)
- Uiqu Huang (China)
- Yoon Sung Lee (South Korea)
- Jinbo Li (China)
- Ajith Raja (India)
- Woo Young Seo (South Korea)
- Jian Song (China)
Yoon Sung Lee
Yoon Sung Lee of South Korea may very well be the early favorite for this event. He won the 2023 District of Fengshan Kaohsiung Pro show to qualify for that season’s Olympia. He finished the 2023 Men’s Physique Olympia tied for sixteenth place. His last appearance was on the 2023 Japan Pro, where he finished second to winner Jo Uezato. The fourth-year pro will likely be making his 2024 season debut at this event. He was third at this contest in 2023.
Jinbo Li
Jinbo Li won the 2022 Japan Pro — his lone pro profession win to date — which qualified him for that season’s Olympia. However, he didn’t compete at that event. Jinbo Li competed in a single pro show in 2023, ending fourth on the Mr. Big Evolution Pro.
Jinbo Li didn’t compete again for the remainder of the 2023 season. This contest is his 2024 season debut.
Ajith Raja
Ajith Raja of India has just one pro show under his belt: the 2023 Sheru Classic India Pro, where he finished sixth overall. He had great shape then and has had several months to enhance. This will likely be his first contest of the 2024 season, and he may very well be a contender if he shows enough definition to match that shape.
