Former national archery team member Ki Bo-bae recalled the time she competed while pregnant and won a gold medal.

On the 8th, KBS 1TV's "Morning Stage" segment "Famous Person with a Famous Partner" featured commentators Park Yong-taek, Kim Yo-han, Ki Bo-bae, and Kim Jun-ho for the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.

That day, Ki Bo-bae shared her experience of competing in a tournament while pregnant with her first child. She said, "I was pregnant with my first child in 2018 and participated in the competition during the second or third month," adding, "At that time, I won gold medals in both the individual and team events."

She continued, "I even remember winning a precious gold medal on a rainy day," revealing, "I competed while carrying my first child until I was eight months pregnant with her," which drew surprise.

She also shared the story behind her second pregnancy. Ki Bo-bae explained, "After retiring, I planned to have a second child, but postponed it due to the Paris Olympics. After returning from the Olympics, I became pregnant."

Additionally, Ki Bo-bae recalled the 2012 London Olympics: "When I was about to take my final shot in the shoot-off, I didn't think I would lose. Just as I was about to shoot, the wind blew, and I scored eight points. While the opposing archer was shooting, I was praying. The 20 seconds felt like 20 years."
