Park Wi completed a 7km marathon with his wife, Song Ji-eun.
On the June 23 broadcast of SBS's 'You're My Destiny', Park Wi was shown taking on the challenge of a 7km marathon.
In this episode, Park Wi began managing his physical condition a week in advance to prepare for the marathon. With his wife's support, Park Wi started working out and also visited the hospital with her.
Song Ji-eun expressed that it was difficult to monitor her husband's condition because his body does not sweat. In response, the doctor provided plenty of advice for Park Wi as he prepared for the marathon, and drew attention by listing key items for Song Ji-eun to keep an eye on.
After all preparations were complete, the day of the event arrived. Park Wi traveled to the venue with Song Ji-eun and prepared for the start. However, right before the race began, he suddenly complained of pain, catching everyone off guard.
Park Wi complained of dizziness, and as time passed without his discomfort fading, it brought a sense of worry and concern.
Recalling the moment, Park Wi shared, "I hadn't been able to sleep, so my condition wasn't good." Watching her husband's state by his side, a restless Song Ji-eun tried to help by suggesting he take some vitamins.
Song Ji-eun showed her distress over her husband's poor condition, saying, "What's going on? This is the first time since we've lived together that this has happened."
Despite everyone's worry, Park Wi could not hide his discomfort right up until the start. Facing a situation where he had to interact with other participants during the race and also communicate with viewers watching the live stream, Park Wi could not hide his anxiety about his own condition.
As the dizziness returned right at the start, Park Wi showed his strong determination, saying, "I will complete the race while thinking of the children in Kenya."
With only the goal of finishing the race in mind, Park Wi did his part completely, conducting interviews with participants and explaining the race.
As a result, voices of encouragement for Park Wi could be heard from all around. Hearing these supportive cheers, Park Wi gradually gained more strength.
As the finish line drew near, only his heavy breathing could be heard, while Song Ji-eun quietly stayed by his side. Through it all, Park Wi did not stop his challenge until the very end.
Park Wi expressed his gratitude to his wife, Song Ji-eun, saying, "I couldn't have done this if I were alone." Holding hands, the two crossed the final finish line together and celebrated reaching their fundraising goal of 100 million KRW.
