Regarding the attention surrounding Formula 3 (F3) driver Shin Woo-hyun, his mother and manager Jeong Yoon-yi, who grants on the show, directly expressed her position through the broadcast.
On the 17th episode of the MBC variety show Omniscient Interfering View, Shin Woo-hyun's racing daily life and the family's story were revealed. That day Jeong Yoon-yi said, "Shin Woo-hyun has grown a lot over the past 4 years," opening her remarks.
Jeong Yoon-yi said frankly, "I know well that some people think he may have come this far more easily than others because of his family background." She continued, "It is true that, luckily, with parental help he has come to this position," but emphasized, "I would be grateful if people recognized at least that he has made bloody efforts in the process." It was a remark that conveyed the sense of responsibility of a parent and manager who watched her son most closely.
Meanwhile, F3, in which driver Shin Woo-hyun competes, is regarded as a key gateway in the formula racing system that leads directly to F1. It is a stage where top prospects who rose through karts and F4 compete, and because it uses a single chassis and engine, it is a league where a driver's pure skill and race management ability are shown as they are. In particular, F3 is also a stage where F1 teams directly assess next-generation talent, and it is called a gateway that produces many "future F1 drivers" each season. The FIA Formula 3 Championship in which Shin Woo-hyun is currently competing is also held alongside F1 grand prix weekends and is drawing the attention of motorsports fans around the world.<
