Three years have passed since the passing of Choo Gye-i, father of mixed martial arts fighter Choo Sung-hoon.

The late Choo Gye-i died of a heart attack while playing golf on the 18th, 2023. He was 73 years old.

At the time, Choo Sung-hoon's agency, B&H, stated "that upon hearing the news in Korea, Choo Sung-hoon immediately returned to Japan. The funeral is planned to be held quietly with family and close relatives".

The late Choo Gye-i was a third-generation Korean in Japan and a former judo athlete. He became well-known by appearing on KBS 2TV's parenting variety program 'The Return of Superman' alongside Choo Sung-hoon and his daughter, Choo Sa-rang.

After his father's passing, Choo Sung-hoon shared several photos of his father on his social media. Along with the photos, he expressed his longing, saying "My father, my super hero. He was kind, strong, powerful, and knew everything, teaching me many things".

He continued, "He was a very scary father. When I did something wrong as a child, I was beaten to the point of feeling like I would die. But I never once hated my father. Because he was my super hero. That father suddenly passed away. We never even had a drink together. There are so many things I wanted to do together. Now that things are slowly going well, I wanted to go out together and eat many delicious things".

He then added, "I will live hard, keeping in my heart the words my father taught me: 'When it comes time to make an important choice in life, always choose the difficult path. That is the path to success'. I hope that when we meet again, I can play the golf my father loved and drink together".
