               Looking back ... …

               When I was in elementary school, I campaigned to be exempt from tuition fees .
               Because I only played sports while skipping classes, I didn't even know Korean properl
               y until my second year of high school .

               I could only barely write the three letters of my name in Chinese characters .
               I didn't learn anything about other subjects .
               So I was last in almost all subjects ,,,

               When I looked at my report card, it was all Yang , Ga , Yang , Ga, so I was from Andong
               region.
               , 'Am I from the Yang family, not the Kwon family?'


               I started studying because of my father's last will when he passed away .
               As my father was dying, he told me to study . I accepted my father's will and tried to stu
               dy, but it was a very arduous path for me, who was barely able to write three letters of

               my name . But I did it in the end .
               much effort, I studied on my own and became one of the top 20 scholarship students in
               my school within two years .

               The results of my hard work never disappointed . After graduating from high school, I p
               ersuaded my mother, received only 10,000 won from her, and started living abroad .

               Living abroad with only 10,000 won ,

               I personally experienced many of the pains of our society .
               Among them, the most heartbreaking thing was the athletes' derailment .
               Due to the circumstances, athletes rarely receive proper training and only exercise .

               Because they have learned less than ordinary students , their range of thinking is narro
               wer than that of ordinary students .
               Other than exercise, what I can do is relatively limited compared to other people.

               It's true .
               As a result, athletes who only played sports were unable to continue their careers.
               I ended up dropping out midway ,,,,

               In that case, there was no way to make a living and there was no job to do .
               In the end All I have is my strength and I have nothing better to do , so I go to the back
               alley world.

               Living in organized crime , etc.
     QR        The reality was that it was becoming a cancer in our society .
               Looking at it like that As an athlete myself, I was very heartbroken .
