Seo Ji-seok "Has experience of riding a wheelchair for 5 months, I was confident, but 'Wheelchair Basketball' had a meltdown"

Actor Seo Ji-seok shared his impressions of trying out wheelchair basketball.

On the morning of the 2nd, KBS 1TV's entertainment program 'Happy Champion 3 - Olympic' (hereinafter referred to as 'Oullympic') production presentation was held at the KBS main building in Yeouido-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul. .

On this day, Seo Ji-seok said, "Actually, I used a wheelchair for 5 months through a role in a play last winter, so I was familiar with the wheelchair. So, I confidently challenged myself to wheelchair basketball, but I had a mental breakdown at first."

He then complained of difficulties, saying, "It was a different wheelchair than for general transportation. The wheels were out of the way and I couldn't easily control it."

'Olympics' is a program launched to create a culture where disabled and non-disabled people can enjoy sports together. The purpose is to draw a festival of harmony that transcends gender and disability in three events: athletics-mixed universal relay, basketball-3x3 wheelchair basketball, and archery-mixed duo. 'Olympic' will be broadcast for the first time at 10:30 pm on the 4th.
