Jin Tae-hyun revealed the reason why he runs marathons.

On the afternoon of the 12th, actor Jin Tae-hyun appeared on the SBS variety show ‘My Ugly Duckling’ (hereafter ‘My Ugly Duckling’).

During the broadcast, Seo Jang-hoon asked, “Is there a reason why Jin Tae-hyun runs marathons with Park Si-eun?” To this, Jin Tae-hyun replied, “It’s already been 2 years. After sending my daughter to heaven 20 days before giving birth, I promised to complete a marathon as a commemoration of the birth. Honestly, I didn’t want to run, but she was a child who came and went. So I wanted to keep that promise.”

He continued, “What gave me strength was after sending the baby away, I suddenly got up and started walking after the C-section. Then I thought, ‘I need to recover.’ Seeing that, I realized I had to protect this woman,” which touched the audience.

‘My Ugly Duckling’ airs every Sunday at 9:05 PM on SBS.
