Lee Hyung-taek, Kim Byung-hyun, and Lee Dong-guk revealed the reason why they started exercising.

On Channel A’s ‘Super DNA Blood Can’t Cheat’ broadcast on the 17th, Lee Dong-guk, Lee Hyeong-taek, Kim Byeong-hyun, and Park Chan-min reported their recent relationship with their children.

On this day, Kang Ho-dong asked legendary athletes what their parents’ support was like during their career.

First of all, Lee Hyung-taek replied, “There was a lot of opposition. Even when I was doing it, there was a prejudice about ‘What do athletes eat and buy?'”

Kim Byeong-hyun said, “In my case, my mother stubbornly opposed me when I said that I was playing baseball.” He said, “I should study. But my father said, ‘I don’t think I’m going to study. He made everyone laugh by explaining about his father’s excellent foresight (?).

Also, Lee Dong-guk said, “I didn’t know anything about soccer. By chance, my father talked with the coach and first suggested to me. He said, ‘If you only play soccer, you can become a national team member.’ So I started. He said that to the players. I was just one of them.”

Lee Dong-guk said, “From then on, my father lived a life as a footballer’s father. When I retired, I said, ‘I am retiring from my 23-year professional career.’ You have been living your life. Why did you leave out 9 years in school? The life of a soccer player father of 32 years is also your retirement along with your retirement.”

Kang Ho-dong, who heard this, said, “It’s so cool. This is a true story,” and Lee Hyung-taek said, “My mother must have said something before, but I can’t remember it well.”

Meanwhile, Lee Dong-guk married Lee Soo-jin, a former Miss Korea from Hawaii in 2005, and they have four daughters and one son.
