For his role in The Maze Runner films, Ki Hong Lee underwent physical training to prepare for his character. He and some of the cast also revealed that they did most of the stunts they did for The Scorch Trials. “Two weeks before production we would train with a stunt team,” said the actor. “They had us doing parkour, they had us doing laps, runs, sprints—all in sand.”

When he’s not training for a role, the actor’s workout routine is pretty simple. It’s mostly cardio since he likes running and swimming. He does the occasional weights when needed for certain roles but he usually swears by basic exercises.
