It has recently been revealed that actress Lee Si Young participated in a real boxing competition held this past July.
Lee Si Young joined the women’s 50kg division at the 9th “KBI National Lifestyle Athletics Boxing Championships.” The actress has always been known for her interest in boxing, but it seems as if her interest didn’t simply end as a form of dieting.
On an appearance on KBS 2TV’s “Entertainment Relay,” she stated, “I entered a boxing competition a while ago and realized that I still had a lot of practice left to do. I’d like to continue pursuing it.” MC Shin Hyun Joon commented, “She is the Korean Rourke.”
Footages of her matches began spreading rapidly throughout portal sites. Although she was met with a loss, she maintained her bright smile and even hugged the opposing athlete.
Netizens commented, “She’s very amazing” and “I’d like to visit one of her matches someday.”
