These experiences left her feeling disappointed, prompting Dr. Oh Eun-young to recommend a thorough assessment of Lee Song-eun’s emotional well-being, as her sadness seemed to linger.
Adding his perspective, Lee Hyeong-taek revealed his belief that Lee Song-eun’s fear stemmed from not discovering her talents earlier than her younger siblings. However, his daughter tearfully confessed that his words hurt her, fostering jealousy within her due to low self-esteem.
Dr. Oh Eun-young empathized with Lee Song-eun’s sentiments and advised Lee Hyeong-taek to reconsider the impact of ability-based evaluations, as they can lead to unintentional comparisons between children.
Reassuringly, Dr. Oh Eun-young acknowledged Lee Hyeong-taek as an accomplished and successful parent in the tennis world, highlighting the immense pressure this may have placed on his daughter, Lee Song-eun. Lee Song-eun admitted giving up tennis due to the overwhelming burden to excel.
