Lee Dong-guk, a former national soccer player, told us about his children’s current status.
Lee Dong-gook’s best friends, actors Lee Jong-hyuk and Ahn Jae-mo, and soccer player Jeong Jo-guk appeared as guests on Channel A’s entertainment show ‘Best Friends Tocumentary Table for 4’ that aired on the 21st.
On this day, Lee Dong-guk’s second daughter Jae-ah appeared next to him and attracted attention. Lee Dong-guk introduced Jae-ah, saying, “After playing tennis for 10 years, I switched to golf less than a year ago.”
He continued, “My eldest daughter, Jassy, took the qualification exam and entered an American fashion college called FIT.”
Actor Lee Jong-hyuk, who heard this, said, “Wow, that’s amazing,” and asked, “Do you look like your mom or dad?” Lee Dong-guk responded, “It’s not me,” which made people laugh.
At the same time, he chose Jae-ah as the child who resembled him among the five siblings and said, “Jae-ah has been playing tennis since he was 7 years old. We jogged together every morning, and when I saw him wake up at dawn and run, I thought he had grit.”
Lee Dong-guk said that Jaesi underwent rehabilitation several times for congenital patellar dislocation, and said, “If you only play golf, you don’t need surgery, but if you play tennis as a hobby, you need surgery. I told him exactly what the doctor said, and while I was away from home for a while, Jaesi called and said he would have surgery.”
He said, “A few days later, Jae-ah posted on social media that she was retiring from tennis, but I don’t think she’s ever cried that much for someone.” He added, “Isn’t it true that Jae-ah started playing tennis willingly when she was seven years old? Her father almost forced her to do it. “I felt guilty because I thought I had made the wrong choice,” he said.
He said, “I was in the countryside that day, and while chatting with Jae-ah, I said, ‘I’m sorry, Dad. I think I made you choose the wrong path,’ and Jae-ah calmly said it was okay.”
