In a monumental feat of strength, endurance, and unwavering dedication, South Korean soldier Oh Yohan has officially set a new Guinness World Record for the most pull-ups in 24 hours. The astonishing total: 11,707 reps.
Yohan, a former member of the elite Republic of Korea 707th Special Mission Group, completed the grueling challenge in Incheon. His record, confirmed by Guinness World Records, shatters the previous mark and puts his name in the annals of athletic history.
What makes his achievement all the more remarkable is that Yohan deliberately chose to stop at 11,707 pull-ups, with time still remaining on the clock. He stated that the number was a tribute to his former military unit, the 707th, a special forces unit renowned for its rigorous training and discipline.
“I served in the Republic of Korea 707th Special Mission Group. To honor the number 707, which represents the unit I served in, I finished my pull-up challenge at 11,707 reps,” Yohan said. This act of respect and homage has resonated deeply, adding a powerful layer of meaning to his incredible physical accomplishment.
This isn’t Yohan’s first brush with the record books. He previously held the title with 8,707 reps before it was surpassed. Driven by a desire to reclaim the record and inspired by the support of his family, friends, and fellow soldiers, he embarked on another intense training regimen, which culminated in this record-breaking attempt.
His journey has been a testament to the power of human will and the strength forged through military service. Yohan’s achievement not only proves his own exceptional physical prowess but also stands as a proud tribute to the South Korean military and its commitment to excellence.
