The 390th episode of MBC's variety show 'The Manager', airing on the 21st, will feature Yoo Seung-eun's intense training journey and her inspiring growth story, as she became the first Korean to win a medal in the Olympic snowboard Big Air event.
A Technique Mastered by Only Two in the World
Yoo Seung-eun amazed the world at the Milan Olympics by successfully performing the 1440-degree spin in both directions, a feat she describes as "a first-time success at the Olympics." The national snowboard coach adds, "Only two people in the world can perform this technique, and Yoo Seung-eun is one of them."
Training Costs More Daunting Than the Jump? The Tenacity of an 18-Year-Old
Behind the label of a genius boarder lies Yoo Seung-eun's remarkable tenacity. Less than a month after the Olympics, she headed to Tokyo to continue training, aiming for a 1620-degree rotation. Due to the lack of training facilities in Korea, she had to travel abroad at her own expense, admitting, "The training costs were scarier than the high jumps," which moved the show's commentators. Despite multiple injuries, including collarbone and ankle fractures, she secured her Olympic spot with metal plates in her body, leaving the commentators speechless.
Mother's Part-Time Job for Training Funds, Plans to Give Entire Prize Money
The touching story of Yoo Seung-eun's mother, who supported her as a steadfast pillar, adds to the emotional narrative. To fund her training, her mother worked at a shaved ice shop, and Yoo Seung-eun expresses her desire to give her entire 100 million won prize money to her mother.
Additionally, Yoo Seung-eun plans to donate her entire appearance fee from 'The Manager' to a stray dog center, showcasing a maturity beyond her 18 years that surprises the commentators.
'The Manager' airs on the 21st at 11:10 PM.
