Former wrestling champion and current broadcaster Lee Man-gi is finding that his toughest challenge isn't in the ring, but at home with his triplet grandchildren. In a recent video uploaded to his YouTube channel, 'ManGiTV,' Lee shared the realities of 'twilight childcare,' admitting it's more demanding than his days as a 'Cheonhajangsa' (grand champion).
Lee began his day with his morning exercise routine, camera in hand. He then headed to his new 'workplace' โ his grandchildren's home. The title of the video, 'Even a Grand Champion is a Beginner Grandpa in Front of His Grandchildren,' perfectly captures his sentiment. He confessed that facing his energetic triplets is more daunting than any wrestling match he ever competed in.

While Lee Man-gi is known for his strength and prowess in the wrestling arena, the footage reveals a more vulnerable side, highlighting the universal challenges of childcare, especially for grandparents.
I have a place I go to right after my morning exercise. I'm going to see our triplets, and it's more... than when I was a Cheonhajangsa.
