Yoon Sung Lee
Yoon Sung Lee was in the 2023 Men’s Physique Olympia contest but finished outside the top 15. He has already qualified for the 2024 Olympia by winning the AGP Pro in Gyeonggi State, South Korea, on Apr. 27, 2024. If the fourth-year pro wins this contest, no Olympia qualification will be awarded. If he does score gold, his spot at the Olympia remains secure.
Yiming Wei
Yiming Wei is coming off a fourth-place finish at the 2024 Kim Junho Classic Pro on May 12, 2024. Before that, he ranked third at the 2024 China DMS Pro. He is in his third pro season and is looking for his first pro win and Olympia qualification.
Ponpaisan Ruangsangpen
The lone athlete representing the host country is Ponpaisan Ruangsangpen. He competed at the 2023 Olympia to finish outside the top 15. He ranked seventh at the 2024 Los Angeles Grand Prix Pro, won by Aundre Benson. This will be Ruangsangpen’s second contest of the 2024 season. His only pro victory came at the 2023 District of Fengshan Kaohsiung Pro.
