Singer Gu Ha-ra has marked herself as a potential shaolin kung fu prodigy on a reality TV show.

On the show, she mesmerized competitors and viewers with her outstanding martial art skills.

The singer from girl band KARA showed off her ability in the traditional Chinese martial art of kung fu on

KBS’s “Sorimsa” on Saturday

.

The star, 24, and six other female celebrities tried to follow the regimental training undergone by kung fu apprentices from the Southern Shaolin Monastery in Fujian Province, China.

The program showed Gu preparing herself for the martial art challenge, chiseling her body at a fitness center over the past four years.

The star showed her lean yet muscular physique as she did sit-ups and pilates moves with help from her trainer.

Gu, who debuted with the band in 2008, previously showed her athleticism in a celebrity sport competition in February by winning a preliminary 60-meter sprint.

This earned her the nickname “Gusain Bold.”
