Former professional Go player Lee Sedol surprised audiences by revealing that he has a daughter in her 20s.

In an episode of the KBS 2TV variety show 'Bachelor Lee Sedol' broadcast on the 30th, Lee was shown taking on the challenge of cleaning up the Yeouido Han River swimming pool as it closed for the season.

On that day, Lee met with mentors who were college students in their 20s to help clean the pool. When the mentors revealed they were born in 2006, Lee said, "The reason I asked about your ages is that you are friends with my daughter."

At the unexpected confession, the mentors shouted, "Dad!" at Lee, eliciting laughter.

Afterward, as Lee cleaned various parts of the pool with the mentors, he recalled childhood memories with his family. When asked when he started playing Go, Lee said, "I started at five years old. My father was a 5-dan player."

He continued, "There were five siblings, and my older brother and sisters all learned it. I just followed along and started as a game," adding, "When our family gathered when I was young, we played a lot of Go."

In particular, Lee recalled the moment he first defeated his father at a young age. He said, "I think it was when I was nine years old. When I won for the first time, I felt great. How wonderful would it be to beat your father?"

However, he added, "As I kept winning, at some point the feeling became strange. At nine years old, how big a figure is one's father?" and confessed, "I had a sense of wondering if this was right."

Lee also described his father's expression at the time: "Since it was his son who he had taught who won, he wasn't unhappy, but his expression was somewhat reserved rather than purely delighted."

Hearing this, Jung Jae-hyung empathized by saying, "I wonder how I would feel if my son won a composition award at age five. It is hard to imagine."

Meanwhile, 'Bachelor Lee Sedol' is a variety show documenting Lee's challenges in various professions after leaving the Go world, following his one victory against the artificial intelligence AlphaGo in 2016.
