Actor Jin Tae-hyun sent a warm congratulatory message after Han Ji-hye, his adopted daughter who is competing as a marathoner, finished fifth at a national competition.
On the 19th, Jin Tae-hyun wrote on his social media, Self celebration! Our Ji-hye placed fifth again at the 106th National Sports Festival!! Gyeonggi-do representative Han Ji-hye! Well done, great, gain a lot of experience! This is just the beginning! Go, South Korea women's marathon!, expressing his pride.
He released a short video showing Han Ji-hye crossing the finish line together and added, National fifth-place marathoner! Well done! Sleep when you get home, saying. In the video, Han Ji-hye gave everything to cross the finish line, then collapsed onto the stadium ground and gasped for breath, and that scene alone conveyed the lingering intensity of the race.
Earlier, on the 17th, Jin Tae-hyun also showed affection, saying that at the 106th National Sports Festival held in Busan, Han Ji-hye, who calls us "mom and dad," would compete as a marathon runner. He said the many hours of sweat shed throughout the summer were the result of genuinely trained time, and recalled that when Ji-hye first told them, "I want to become a good adult like you two," that remark stayed with them deeply. He said they resolved to truly become good adults and became a family who ate together and took care of her, explaining the reason for the adoption.
He added that because this race was not broadcast live he planned to cheer even more enthusiastically. While rank is not everything, results and records are important to athletes, he said, and expressed hope that she would run to the end and experience surpassing her limits. Though not her biological parents, as a family who always watched her training, they sincerely support her completion, he said warmly.
Meanwhile, Jin Tae-hyun married actress Park Si-eun in 2015 and has continued steady volunteer work. The two adopted their first daughter Davida and later welcomed two daughters who grew into marathoners into the family, sparing no economic or emotional support. Recently, Jin Tae-hyun drew sympathy after announcing a thyroid cancer diagnosis, but he is reported to be recovering his health after a successful surgery.
