"My son's soccer practice is at a different level now," Kwon remarked, observing his son's agility. He further elaborated on the physical demands, stating, "When we do running drills, he's so fast I can't keep up. Even among people my age, I'm considered the fastest, but I can't beat him."

However, Kwon also expressed a touch of concern regarding his son's current physical condition. He noted a perceived drop in stamina, attributing it to the recent ankle injury that has limited his training. "He used to be so energetic, but now his endurance seems to have dropped significantly after not being able to train for a long time," Kwon observed. Son Tae-young echoed his sentiment, noting her son's visible fatigue during the session.
