From OhSung to OhSuk , from 1957 to 1959 ( born in the 7th y


         ear of elementary school )


         After the brilliant moments of soccer, it was now time to enter middle sc

         hool . I was dreaming of graduating and going to middle school .

         ‘ Which middle school should I go to? ’‘ Who will go where?’ was s
         omething we were both curious about . One or two of my friends and I t

         ried to take each other to various schools .         I thought I should automatic

         ally go to a physical education middle school .

         But people came to visit my parents at school .
         The reason is .... If you win the Gyeongsangbuk-do Provincial Office of

         Education Cup for three consecutive years, you will have the honor of

         keeping the winning flag at your school .
         Currently our school is ,

         ' I won the Provincial Education Superintendent's Cup for two years ,

         and if I win one more year , I will win it three years in a row , and then I

         will keep the glorious championship flag at Punggi Elementary School fo
         rever . He convinces his parents, saying , ‘ There is a good chance of

         victory in this big task as long as Oh-seok is there . ’

         He said he would help me with everything , starting with getting into
         higher education, so he wanted me to stay at Punggi Elementary School

         for one more year .

         Because my parents were so ignorant of the situation, they could not ref
         use the school's earnest request and ended up agreeing to it .

         because that …

         ended up going to elementary school for 7 years, adding 1 year, while ot
         her people would graduate in 6 years . Even though I was competing wi

         th juniors, it wasn't awkward at all . From that day on, I couldn't even g

         o to class reunions . Since I couldn't go to my younger brothers' meeting

         s, and I couldn't go to my friends' meetings , Naturally, I stopped going t
         o the class reunion , and soon my relationship with my friends became a
                                                                                                      QR
         wkward and awkward .
