Actor Yulhee, known for "Run to Live," has embarked on a new challenge.
On the 19th, the first episode of the MBN entertainment show "Run to Live" featured 16 challengers who must run to survive and live. Each brought their own stories, capturing attention.
Singer Sleepy, known for his frailty, noted, "I no longer want to live as a weak father. My child weighs around 9-10 kg, and it's tough carrying them. My disc has worsened from picking up my child, and our second baby will be born in two months; I need to run for my family's happiness."
Another father, Yang Joon-hyuk, known as Yangshin, said, "My keyword is 'let's go for a second child.' When I got married, I had good sperm health, but it dropped to 70% after marriage. So, I plan to have a second child after recovering my health," adding, "My wife is a baseball fan. I promised her when we got married that if we had a son, regardless of whether he becomes a doctor or not, he will definitely play baseball."
In contrast, the mother, Bae Yoon-jung, appeared with feelings of remorse and love for her son. Bae Yoon-jung said, "There were times I couldn't love my child as much as I wanted. I suffered from severe postpartum depression. Being an older mother made me think, 'Why did my life turn out this way after having a child?'" She expressed, "If I could go back to that time, I would want to give so much love. I want my son to feel how much his mother loved him when he grows up," reaffirming her commitment to the challenge.
Shawn and Lee Young-pyo appeared as the Director General and Deputy Director for these participants. Shawn is a well-known marathon runner, and Lee Young-pyo, who has served in numerous national teams including the 2002 World Cup, still boasts a fit physique, hinting at his training level.
Shawn said, "Our goal is to complete a full marathon as the final objective," surprising everyone. Lee Young-pyo affirmed, "If you follow our training plan as we have devised, you can run a half marathon in three months and a full marathon in six months."
As verification of this, the first mission was set: 'If you can't run the 5 km within 35 minutes, you are disqualified.' These beginners found even 5 km to be challenging.
However, their sense of challenge drove them to run. Especially, Yulhee's efforts shone. Meeting with her divorce attorney Yang So-young, Yulhee responded to the remark, "We have to go to court," with only a cheerful smile and the words, "How did we all gather like this?"
Yulhee expressed, "Some may not know me. I had a really tough time last year going through marriage, childbirth, and divorce. I want to overcome my limits through the program 'Run to Live.'" She added, "I was not someone who took on challenges. I was afraid of challenges and stuck to what was familiar. I truly wanted to face my limits and surpass them," showcasing her determination while maintaining her position as the top female contender.
Yulhee also said, "I think I am finally finding myself now," adding, "I am okay with rumors about myself. However, it is difficult when they talk about my children. There are still moms and dads who love their children," expressing her love for her kids.
