​Lee Cheong-kyu is an enthusiastic amateur marathoner. The 67-year-old will never forget the moment he completed a full marathon after miraculously recovering from a serious back injury. The injury had him bed-ridden for three years. With his personal experience engraved, perhaps on a deeper level, he wishes that marathoner Lee Bong-ju will also make a complete and swift recovery from his illness, too.

[Soundbite] Lee Cheong-kyu(Marathoner) : "I believe he will recover and make a comeback. He has the willpower that easily outdoes mine. Marathoners never give up."

Due to the pandemic, the marathon is being held online. But, it is joined by ordinary people as well as professional runners.

[Soundbite] Kim Kuk-young(Nat’l Marathon Team Member) : "I wish for Lee Bong-ju’s quick recovery. Rooting you on, Lee!"

[Soundbite] "Ah! the old days. Could it not return? The good old days~"

Lee cannot stand straight and had to stop for the ailment. But beaming with hope, he pledges to fight against the disease to repay the fans’ support.

[Soundbite] Lee Bong-ju(Former Nat’l Marathon Team Member) : "I have been seriously sick since last year’s spring. I really appreciate the people’s support and encouragement. I will do my best to recover and get better. That is, enough to run together with you. I am really grateful."

Many people are wishing and waiting for the hero to stage a triumphant comeback and return to the marathon course.
