Broadcast personality and model Hong Jin-kyung revealed the story of how her daughter, Rael, nearly lost his life.

On the 20th, a video titled "First Reveal of Rael's Near-Death Skiing Story That Even Hong Jin-kyung Didn't Know (Youth National Team)" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Study King Real Genius Hong Jin-kyung'.

Hong Jin-kyung asked her daughter, "Rael, have you ever had a story where you thought, 'This is unbelievable' or 'How could this happen to me?' while living?"

In response, Rael revealed that earlier this year, he went on a school ski camp in Japan and said, "They knew I was from the youth national team, so they asked, 'Can't you do tail grabs or 180-degree spins?'"

He continued, "My specialty is ski cross, so I'm not good at aerial tricks. I've never done a Navy Headquarters trick before." He added, "My skis are racing skis, which are much heavier than regular skis. Landing was impossible. Still, when I did a 180-degree spin and tail grab, they asked, 'Can you do a 360-degree spin?'"

Recalling that moment, Rael said, "I felt too embarrassed to say 'I can't,' so I said, 'I can.' But when I tried, I fell, and the kids laughed completely. That was my worst trauma in life. Without exception, they said, 'You weren't part of the youth national team,' 'How could you represent Korea with that skill?' and 'Is Korean skiing this weak?' How much stress must I have endured?" he confessed.

Hearing this, Hong Jin-kyung was flustered, saying, "He wasn't always on the youth national team; he only did it briefly when he was in lower elementary school."

Rael also mentioned what happened the next day. He said, "The next morning, as soon as the ski resort opened, I kept practicing. Then the kids gathered. Everyone went first, and our team went last, but we took a wrong turn. There was a jump section that dropped like a cliff. It was extremely high. A sign was planted there to warn people not to go, but we didn't see it and went anyway."

He continued, "I thought, 'Even if I die, I'll land a 360 and then die,' so I jumped. When I came to my senses, I hadn't fallen and had landed successfully. Passersby even applauded." He explained, "(Because the skis were heavy) if I had used even a little wrong force, my ankle would have been broken."

Rael said, "I really thought I was going to die. 'This is how it ends,' I thought." He added, "Until just before jumping, I had the mindset that 'I'll do this here and then die.' But after jumping, I thought, 'I'm going to die.' I felt like I lived my short life without regrets. I don't even remember it now. I closed my eyes and jumped at that time."
