Daesung and An Sohee engaged in a psychological battle even before their tennis match.
On the 28th, a video titled 'Sohee Poba VS Daekobich | Do you dare to think you can beat me?' was posted on the YouTube channel 'Jip Dae Sung.'
In the video, Daesung revealed his connection with An Sohee, stating, "Today, it's a remarkable person. I think this is the person I've met the most in casual settings. I feel like I've met this person two or three times, and I talked with them then."
He continued, "This person plays tennis, and I thought, 'Why not have a match?' The truth is, I have never played before. The only similar thing would be my experience playing badminton in the military. At that time, I kind of played like an ankle breaker. Tennis is a completely different game, but I tried to channel that feeling and boldly took on the challenge."
When Daesung met An Sohee, he recalled, saying they met at an event in Incheon, "At that time, you were introducing tennis to me, and when I said, 'I will try it someday,' you replied, 'Please work hard on it,' slightly teasing me. Do you remember?" An Sohee, who acknowledged it, responded, "You said we could play together right away? So I suggested, 'Just give it a try.'"
An Sohee, who said she started playing tennis three years ago, expressed her confidence towards Daesung, saying, "Isn't today your first time? But can you do it?" Moreover, An Sohee even has her own racket. In response, Daesung quipped, "They say a master doesn't blame the tools, right? Unlike anyone else, I don't have a personal racket. I'll just randomly pick one and play."
Rules were applied for beginner Daesung, and the serious competition unfolded. Daesung wagered a "grants" appearance on 'Jip Dae Sung' if he won, and An Sohee also requested to film a vlog if she won. The match ended with An Sohee winning by a final score of 5-3.
