[Sportschosun reporter Kim So-hee] YouTuber Park Wi, who has full-body paralysis, is taking on a marathon after overcoming his limits.
On Tuesday, the 23rd, at 10:40 p.m., SBS's "Same Bed, Different Dreams 2: You Are My Destiny" will air an episode showing Park Wi and his wife Song Ji-eun taking on a 7-kilometer wheelchair marathon.
During a recent recording, Park Wi revealed his special rehabilitation routine. Loved on his YouTube channel as an icon of miracles, he surprised everyone by showing everything from his own customized exercise method, which he has maintained since becoming paralyzed from the waist down, to an intense routine using specialized equipment. In particular, ahead of the upcoming 7-kilometer wheelchair marathon, Park Wi showed his determination by focusing on strength training. The studio was thrown into chaos when he even managed to do pull-ups, which are difficult for anyone, despite the physical limitations caused by paralysis. Viewers will be able to see the special rehabilitation methods Park Wi has consistently practiced in his daily life on the broadcast.
The episode will also show Park Wi and Song Ji-eun taking on the 7-kilometer wheelchair marathon. The charity race drew more than 1,700 participants and had a fundraising goal of 100 million won, and they were expected to lead the pack. They set off with strong determination to finish, but Park Wi soon showed unexpected signs of a health issue during the race. As he complained of sudden low blood pressure and dizziness, the atmosphere quickly turned tense, and the event even faced the risk of being stopped. Despite offers of help, Park Wi shook his head and said, "I want to finish it to the end," leaving the MCs deeply worried as well. Attention is now focused on whether Park Wi can overcome the crisis and complete the 7-kilometer wheelchair marathon.
