Gu has also reprimanded fans and the media to film it while training due to the danger of being distracted.
“I have to focus fully during training, especially when I prepare to start, because it is very dangerous to be interrupted,” said Gu. “I also have to focus on the photo and imagination of movements on the cable car.
