(1)He won the 51st Boston Marathon in 1947, setting a new world record of 2:25:39, and the coaches at the time were Son Kee-chung and Nam Seung-ryong. This is also the first victory since Korea’s liberation. After returning home, I met Yeo Woon-hyung and met Kim Gu and received a calligraphy called “Jokpaehaehaenghae” as a gift, Korea’s marathon world championship was barely successful when Hwang Young-jo won the marathon gold medal at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
(2)After hearing information about the Boston Marathon from the U.S. Forces Korea, he had a hard time even before the 5th race, raising money through fundraising, and getting on a U.S. military plane. He arrived at the venue just a week before the tournament. Besides, he only completed the full course twice.After winning the championship, I entered the country by boat through Incheon Port.
(3)He participated in the 1948 London Olympics but finished 27th with a time of 2:59:36 due to poor pace, and eventually retired in 1949.
