On December 24, Beijing time, South Korean table tennis player Lee Sang-so announced the happy news that his wife was pregnant with her second child through social media, which aroused strong concern among netizens.
Lee Sang-so and his wife Park Young-sook were mixed doubles partners, and the two won the second place in the World Table Tennis Championships and the Asian Championships championships, and entered the palace of marriage at the end of 2018. A year after marriage, the two ushered in the birth of the eldest son, because they often posted photos of their son's growth through social media and lamented that their son was "too cute" and was called "son fool" by fans. When the eldest son had just turned two years old, Lee Sang-so's wife was pregnant with her second child, and the family of three was about to be upgraded to a family of four. Netizens also left messages to send blessings to Lee Sang-so: "Brother Li leads the second generation of Korean table tennis, blindly guessing that the second child is a good word for the daughter", "Shang-so Oba likes children too much, the second child should not be the end", "Happy family, Shang-soo will continue to work hard to earn milk powder money", "With a family as a backing, look forward to Lee Sang-so's Paris Olympics on the podium".
Lee Sang-so, 31, is a table tennis player whose parents are from the background. But Lee Sang-so was 10 years old when he really decided to undergo professional training, and he made a lot of efforts to catch up with his peers. Lee Sang-so first came to the eye of Chinese fans in 2012, when he beat Malone at the Korea Open Table Tennis Championships. In the following years, Lee Sang-so gradually grew into a major player in the Korean table tennis team. At the 2017 World Table Tennis Championships, Lee Sang-so defeated Zhang Jike in the second round and finally won the bronze medal in the men's singles. Lee Sang-so, who regrettably missed the podium at the Tokyo Olympics, seized the opportunity of the Chinese team's non-participation at the subsequent Asian Championships to win the men's singles championship in one fell swoop.
