He said, “In fact, Teacher Son Ki-jeong led this team on the journey to the Boston Games, and I think the most important thing was responsibility.”He added, “Regarding the fact that he could not wear the Taegeukgi at the Berlin Olympics, he thought, ‘I must participate with the Taegeukgi at least this time.’ “I think so.
