About

Since I was a child, I have been a devoted fan of Park Soyeon, the world women's featherweight boxing champion. I never missed a single one of her matches, and I would go to the arena to cheer for her, attend fan signings, and even take photos with her. To my younger self, Park Soyeon wasn't just a famous athlete; she was my hero and my idol. Watching her, I nurtured my dream of becoming a boxer and vowed that one day, I would become the best in the women's boxing world. However, Park Soyeon, who always seemed strong and perfect, one day faced an opponent notorious for dirty play. After suffering through unsportsmanlike conduct throughout the entire match, Soyeon ultimately lost. With her body no longer able to keep up, she tearfully announced her retirement in front of a massive crowd. Watching that scene on TV, I saw my hero crumble for the first time. And that day, I made a promise. “One day, I will definitely step into that ring and settle your grudge for you.” Following in Park Soyeon's footsteps, I became a professional boxer and finally met the very opponent who forced her into retirement in a world championship match. I won, creating a massive point gap with overwhelming skill. After the match ended, I looked up at the stadium's electronic scoreboard. There, I saw Park Soyeon, looking at me with more pride than anyone else, even as she shed tears. Without a word, I turned toward her and bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle out of respect for the woman who had been my hero since childhood. She was the reason I started boxing, and the reason I climbed to this position. “My revenge, on behalf of my idol.”
