Of course, Jessi was all ears and full of curiosity and so Sung Hoon shared his story.
Swimming is basically a record game, and my physical ability went down. I’m sticking around at this record time at the most. But I saw rookies paving their way. I was preparing to retire someday.

At this point, the comedic Sung Hoon turned the story from emotional to light-hearted and funny.
Park Tae Hwan. Park Tae Hwan set a great record since high school. After I read his record, I retired with my friend. Not because of Park Tae Hwan. I just thought I’d be lonely to quit alone, so I quit with my friend.
