SINGAPORE: In an Instagram reel, the recently engaged Joel Choo showed his followers how he practised his proposal to his girlfriend of 10 years. The video snippet showed Choo asking the cameraman to take a video of him in the gym kneeling, holding a kettlebell as a substitute for the ring.
The video eventually transitioned to the couple in Mt. Fuji, where Choo officially knelt and jokingly brought out a ring, the same size as the kettlebell, but now with a gigantic jewel in the middle.
