Lee Jae-ah, the second daughter of former football player Lee Dong-gook, stated that she had achieved the No. 1 ranking in Asia while active as a tennis player, but has now switched careers to become a golfer.
The first episode of the tvN STORY and E Channel variety program "My Baby's Romance 3," which aired on the 11th, revealed the first meetings between the participants.
In the video, when Lee Jae-ah, Lee Dong-gook's daughter, appeared, MC Kim Sung-joo exclaimed, "Jae-ah is pretty," and could not hide his surprise at her dramatically grown-up appearance.
Lee Dong-gook said, "Jae-ah played tennis from age 7 until she was 17."
Lee Jae-ah said, "I also won the National Junior Championship and became the youngest player to advance to the doubles main draw. The highlight I am most proud of is when I held the No. 1 ranking in Asia." She then introduced herself as a former tennis player who is now a golfer, drawing attention.
She added, "It was not something I wanted to do because I wanted to retire. Due to continuous injuries and surgeries, I had no choice but to retire from tennis."
Lee Jae-ah shared, "Because I loved the life of an athlete so much, I switched to golf. It has been two or three years since I made the switch. During the season, I do nothing but exercise from the moment I wake up in the morning until I go to bed at night. Going to the gym and then sleeping is my usual routine."
Lee Jae-ah, who revealed that she had not had much romantic experience, said, "Because I have only been exercising since I was young, I did not have many points of contact with men. I do not know if I will be good at dating."
She then expressed hope by saying, "I have always lived as athlete Lee Jae-ah, but here I am living as woman Lee Jae-ah. Through this time, I would like to find love rather than just sports."
