'A table for four' Lee Dong-guk expressed his feelings for his daughter Jae-ah.

On Channel A's entertainment program 'Dining Table for Four', which aired on the 21st, Lee Dong-guk invited his acquaintances to talk about various things.

Lee Dong-guk has been running a youth soccer class since his retirement in 2020. The family of Lee Dong-guk, who moved to Songdo in May, also boasts a neat and spacious house. In particular, it was full of toothbrushes, towels, and shoes as it was a family of four siblings.

Lee Dong-gook chose his second daughter Jae-ah as the child who resembles him the most. Lee Dong-gook said, `Jae-ah has played tennis since she was seven years old. It was when I was in the 1st or 2nd grade of elementary school, and I get a vacation before I go on overseas training. We still have to build our bodies consistently, so we jog every day even on vacation. But (Jae-ah) said, "Where did you go every morning?" "When I said I was going to work out, she said she was an athlete, so she ran with me." Even though the kid comes to play, he exercises at dawn and does it for his goals. I thought it would be grit and things like this," he said, explaining an anecdote that he admired Jae-ah.

Lee Dong-guk "You gain weight as you move on to adolescence. He suffered a congenital knee patella dislocation. He said he had surgery at first, but he couldn't give up what he had done for 10 years, so he worked hard on his rehabilitation. However, Jae-ah suffered her second dislocation six months after returning from surgery, eventually turning into a golfer. Lee Dong-gook `was dislocated again while moving forward. I called my doctor, and he said I don't have to get surgery if I'm only going to play golf, but if I want to play tennis as a hobby, I have to get surgery. After talking to Jae-ah, she decided to have surgery while she was away from home. "Jae-ah and I went and performed surgery the next day. Don't you feel so hurt when you're coming from surgery without your mom and dad?"

A few days later, Lee Dong-guk posted on his SNS that (Jae-ah) was retiring, and I don't think I've ever cried for anyone in the world. I thought I'd never played tennis on my own since I was seven years old." I almost forced this friend to play tennis because I liked it, but I felt so guilty because I thought I made the wrong choice because of my dad", he confessed.

Lee Dong-guk `was in the countryside and cried too much while talking on the phone. 'Dad, I'm sorry. I said, 'I'm sorry because I think my dad led me the wrong way' and 'Golf can do it enough. He said, "Wouldn't he have played tennis for golf for 10 years?" to everyone's admiration.
