Director Son said, “I am very careful that Heung-min will lead a normal life when he retires.

He continued, “I thought regarding switching to an alternative school, but the conditions were too strict and it was difficult to meet it, so I gave up halfway.”
Superintendent Shin replied, “Lifestyle physical education and elite physical education must go together.
