[+1,058] Congratulations on your military exemption ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+288] Imagine someone asking his kid.. so what's your father's job? And the kid's like "He's a national Street Fighter athlete"

[+274] He's an example of sometimes it works out if you just stick to that one thing you're really good at

[+184] ㅋㅋㅋ Who knew this was ever a possibility ㅋㅋㅋ

[+78] Especially impressive considering that he's from the generation where parents were always like "you think playing games will ever make you any money??? what job do you think you can get playing games all day~" but he's worked his way up all the way to a gold!!! Congratulations!!! 👏👏

[+75] Something about this gives me hope

[+39] Stick to what you're good at and you will win in the end 👏👏👏

[+16] A lesson to all parents to stop smacking your kids on their backs for playing games all day

[+7] Daebak! Congratulations 🎉

[+6] I can't imagine all the nagging he's had to endure all his life... to finally see the light now

[+5] Really shows that you never know with life... do you think he could've ever predicted that he'd be a gold medalist one day!? It really shows that sometimes it pays off to work hard and stick to something you're good at ㅠ
