Choi Min-jeong, a member of the national short track team, impressed by revealing her mother's dedication and her harsh training process.
Short track legend Choi Min-jeong, who announced her retirement from the national team, appeared on tvN's "YOU QUIZ on the Block," which aired on the 18th and talked about various things.
Choi Min-jeong's mother said of her daughter's childhood, "I opened my eyes at 5 a.m. and never bothered me. It seemed different from then on. It was financially difficult for my two daughters to do short track together, but I was so happy to hear that my eldest one wouldn't do it. Since then, I've been all-in (to Choi Min-jeong)," he said.
Choi Min-jeong then said, "I was first in the game I played in after a car accident," adding, "On a rainy day, I ran into an accident and woke up, and my mother and sister were bleeding. Everyone was all over the place, but I was fine. "I only had five minutes to drive to the stadium, so I was fine, so I went to play," he recalled.
He added, "I skated at 3 a.m. because the time was not constant because it was when I was training in a private team, and it was basic to wake up at 5 a.m., and I practiced until 10 p.m."
Choi Min-jeong's mother devoted herself to supporting her daughter's exercise, adding, "I worked part-time in the middle, and it was so hard. I had no choice but to sell the house because I had to pick it up. "I paid for training and living expenses while selling the house," he said. "My daughter kept asking me why the house was getting smaller, so I said it was because of you." There was no place for money to come out," he said.
In response, Choi Min-jeong said, "I don't think I could have lived if I told me to live like my mother. When I was young, I was small in size and short in mouth. But since I have to eat well, they pack 3 or 4 lunch boxes, and when I went in after training, my mom fell asleep late because of housework. I also thought, "When on earth does my mom sleep and when does she rest?"
