Kim Sang-kyum expressed his gratitude to his wife.
On the September 22 broadcast of SBS "You're My Destiny", national snowboarder Kim Sang-kyum joined as a new fate couple alongside his wife Park Han-sol.
During the broadcast, the couple visited Bongseonsa Temple, which they always visit before a competition, to meet Kim Sang-kyum's benefactor, Monk Hosan.
Kim Sang-kyum expressed his gratitude to Monk Hosan, who mentioned that he heard Park Han-sol performs 108 bows and praised her dedication.
In fact, Park Han-sol had been supporting her husband by performing 108 bows every time he had a competition. Sharing that she performed the bows at home, Park Han-sol said, "I would do them before leaving for work and after coming home."
Hearing this, Kim Sang-kyum expressed his appreciation, saying, "I was surprised when I heard about it. She could make a big deal out of it, but she doesn't."
Park Han-sol, who explained that she kept it to herself so as not to put pressure on her husband, shared her reason for doing the bows: "Knowing how hard my husband worked, I did the 108 bows hoping he would achieve results he could be satisfied with."
She continued, drawing attention by explaining, "It is a sport where a single mistake can be fatal. That's why I did the 108 bows thinking only about him achieving a score he would be happy with."
In response, Kim Sang-kyum credited everything to his wife, saying, "Things started going well after I met her."
When Park Han-sol recalled traveling to New Zealand together before the Olympics to watch over her husband's daily routine, she suddenly burst into tears. She shed tears while saying, "It broke my heart to see him silently enduring the hardship and training hard, especially knowing how much he must have missed his family."
Kim Sang-kyum's hard work ultimately bore fruit with an Olympic silver medal after four attempts. Regarding this, Kim Sang-kyum said, "If I had done it for money, I would have chosen a different sport. Aside from the goal itself, I think I've been able to keep going thanks to my love for snowboarding."
Hearing this, Park Han-sol said, "It is hard to make what you love into your profession, but seeing him do that and even win a top-tier medal makes my husband look so cool and admirable."
Kim Sang-kyum conveyed his feelings, stating that he was simply grateful to his wife. Seeing this, the production team asked Kim Sang-kyum, who is usually reserved in expressing his emotions, to express his gratitude. Kim Sang-kyum held Park Han-sol's hand and said, "Thank you," before quickly changing the subject and playing it off.
Park Han-sol warmly understood her husband's feelings, saying, "I think this is just his way of showing love, trying to brush it off as a joke. He's just shy, right?"
Meanwhile, the end of the broadcast previewed Moon Hee-june celebrating his 30th-anniversary fan meeting, raising anticipation for the next episode.
