After the competition, I\u2019ve mainly been resting. I also spent a week in Taipei teaching kids fencing, and I met athletes from different places. It was rewarding to exchange ideas on techniques, mindset, and habits\u2014I\u2019m constantly learning something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is your definition of success?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Success\u2026 for me right now, it isn\u2019t just about a specific title, medal, or ranking. Of course, those are every athlete\u2019s dream because they prove our hard work. But I also believe success is about helping others. Using my own achievements to create more opportunities for others\u2014that gives me the greatest satisfaction. Put simply: if my success can lead to many more successes for others, that\u2019s the most fulfilling feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"785\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/gqhongkong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ryan-Choi-1-785x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18942\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gqhongkong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ryan-Choi-1-785x1024.jpg 785w, https:\/\/gqhongkong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ryan-Choi-1-230x300.jpg 230w, https:\/\/gqhongkong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ryan-Choi-1-768x1001.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gqhongkong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ryan-Choi-1-1178x1536.jpg 1178w, https:\/\/gqhongkong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ryan-Choi-1-1571x2048.jpg 1571w, https:\/\/gqhongkong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ryan-Choi-1-scaled.jpg 1963w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 785px) 100vw, 785px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Top, pants, Loro Piana.

I was focused, not overly up or down\u2014just a pure happiness, a joy that all the effort had finally paid off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How has your mindset changed compared to when you first started fencing?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At first, fencing felt simple\u2014like basketball or football, just another sport I enjoyed. But now, fencing has become inseparable from my life. It\u2019s given me unforgettable experiences and shaped who I am. It\u2019s part of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"785\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/gqhongkong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ryan-Choi-2-785x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18944\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gqhongkong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ryan-Choi-2-785x1024.jpg 785w, https:\/\/gqhongkong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ryan-Choi-2-230x300.jpg 230w, https:\/\/gqhongkong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ryan-Choi-2-768x1001.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gqhongkong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ryan-Choi-2-1178x1536.jpg 1178w, https:\/\/gqhongkong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ryan-Choi-2-1571x2048.jpg 1571w, https:\/\/gqhongkong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ryan-Choi-2-scaled.jpg 1963w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 785px) 100vw, 785px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Blazer, pants, Louis Vuitton.

I thought about giving up. I doubted myself, felt stuck in negativity. But then I reminded myself why I chose to go pro in the first place. I told myself I couldn\u2019t let rankings or setbacks define me. If I love fencing, I have to keep pushing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>With your recent victories, you\u2019ve become much better known. How do you feel about \u201cfame\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At first, fencing was just a hobby. Then it became my career, my life. Now, it feels bigger than just me. As my ranking rose, so did outside attention. Win or lose, there are always voices and opinions. Fame has also brought sponsorships and activities beyond sport. These can be distractions sometimes. I wouldn\u2019t call it \u201cfame,\u201d but yes, I\u2019ve had new experiences this year, which is interesting. Still, during training periods, I focus completely and don\u2019t touch anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who are you outside of fencing? What do you enjoy in your downtime?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It might sound contradictory\u2014I like being playful, but I\u2019m also reserved. Sometimes I say funny, offbeat things, like on camera. Other times I just look tired, but I\u2019m really just zoning out. That\u2019s my contrast. For hobbies, I\u2019m like anyone else\u2014I enjoy singing, playing board games, things with strategy and fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"785\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/gqhongkong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ryan-Choi-3-785x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18946\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gqhongkong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ryan-Choi-3-785x1024.jpg 785w, https:\/\/gqhongkong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ryan-Choi-3-230x300.jpg 230w, https:\/\/gqhongkong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ryan-Choi-3-768x1001.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gqhongkong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ryan-Choi-3-1178x1536.jpg 1178w, https:\/\/gqhongkong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ryan-Choi-3-1571x2048.jpg 1571w, https:\/\/gqhongkong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ryan-Choi-3-scaled.jpg 1963w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 785px) 100vw, 785px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shirt, Fendi.

How did you feel about that work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I found it really fun! I enjoyed sharing knowledge and analyzing matches on camera. I was surprised people liked my playful side. Watching the clips back feels strange, because off-camera I\u2019m quieter. I do hope I can show more sides of myself in the future. But at the core, I\u2019m still focused on fencing. I don\u2019t chase fame or fortune. Staying true to why I love fencing\u2014that\u2019s what matters most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your next goal, and how are you preparing?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m still resting, but the National Games are coming up.
