Former short track speed skater Kwak Yun-ki shared an update on his tattoo removal progress.

On the 4th, Kwak announced via his personal account, "When I was young, I thought tattoos looked cool. Currently, I have been removing my tattoos for three years."

Kwak added, "I already get hot easily, and seeing myself forced to wear long sleeves made me decide to remove them. Getting a tattoo is quick, but removing it truly takes a very long time."

He also revealed the hardships of tattoo removal, stating, "Even when I apply numbing cream, it hurts terribly. It really feels like my flesh is burning. And I can even smell the burning scent through my nose."

He then emphasized, "Personally, I think my natural skin is the most beautiful. Seeing the body I've built through exercise makes it even better. Everyone, please do not get tattoos. Absolutely not."
