Channel A entertainment program 'Best Talk Documentary Table for 4' aired on the 21st showed Lee Dong-guk inviting his best friends Lee Jong-hyuk, Ahn Jae-mo, and Jeong Jo-guk to his house to talk about his family.
On this day, Lee Dong-gook picked his second child Jae-ah as the child who resembles him the most. He began playing tennis when Jae-ah was seven years old. When I took a short vacation during overseas training, I used to go on a family trip, but I went jogging every morning to take care of my body." He then boasted his daughter's grit and sincerity, saying, "Jae-ah asked me 'Dad, 'Where did you go at dawn?' and said she was going to exercise, and she asked if she could run with me because she was an athlete."
However, Jae-ah's tennis journey was not smooth. Lee Dong-gook said, "Jae-ah underwent surgery for a congenital knee patella dislocation in 2022. I played tennis for 10 years, but six months after rehabilitation, I dislocated again and eventually switched to golf."
Lee Dong-gook said after the third dislocation, "The doctor said golf is possible without surgery, but surgery is necessary to continue playing tennis."After much consideration, I set a date with my twin sister, Jacy, and had surgery."."
He confessed that he felt deeply guilty when he saw Jae-ah's writing that he decided to break up with tennis. "I've been forced to play tennis since I was seven years old. I cried on the phone with Jae-ah because I felt sorry," he said. But Jae-ah is "OK. You can also play golf well. He comforted his father with a positive attitude, saying that his tennis experience will help him play golf.
Lee Dong-gook said, `The tennis you've played for 10 years is probably the biggest asset of your life. I hope you meet good people through golf and leave them as wonderful assets. It's not important to be a famous player."
