His younger brother Lee Yong-moon successfully finished the competition first, winning a silver medal in the Wushu Men's Nanquan and Nangon held at the Xiaoshanguari Gymnasium in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China on the 26th.

And on the 27th, his older brother Lee Yong-hyun took part in the Wushu Men's Turo Taoist and Bongjutsu competition held at the same location.

On this day, Lee Yong-moon cheered for his older brother Lee Yong-hyun in the stands to cheer him up, but the results were not that good.

Lee Yong-hyeon made a big landing mistake in the first period of Dosul held in the morning and fell to 9th place out of 11 participating players with a total score of 9.386 points.

Lee Yong-hyun, the silver medalist at the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, was considered a medal candidate, but his chances of winning a medal became slim as he fell more than 0.3 points short of the medal spot.

Wushu Turo is a sport where the winner is decided by 0.001 points.

His younger brother Lee Yong-moon, whom he met outside the stadium that day, could not hide his disappointment.

“His brother made a mistake and it’s very unfortunate,” he said. “I couldn’t even talk to him after the game.”

He added, “Regardless of the result, I will cheer on my brother during the bongsul performance (held in the afternoon).”

Brothers Yonghyun Lee and Yongmun are the flagships of Korean Wushu.

The reason the two players entered Wushu was when their older brother Lee Yong-hyeon became seriously ill.

Lee Yong-hyeon fell into critical condition due to severe meningitis when he was 5 years old, and barely recovered after being hospitalized.

After being discharged from the hospital, Lee Yong-hyeon continued to treat his minor illness, and his parents enrolled him in Wushu to help their son improve his physical strength.

Lee Yong-moon said, “My father was a kung fu expert,” and “My father even ran a Wushu gym for my older brother.”

Lee Yong-moon followed his older brother down the path of becoming an athlete together, and the two became representative Korean Wushu athletes.

The brothers have achieved great results in various international competitions, but have never won a medal together at the Asian Games.

At the 2014 Incheon Games, Lee Yong-hyun won the silver medal and Lee Yong-moon ranked 6th.

At the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Games, Lee Yong-moon won a bronze medal, but Lee Yong-hyun did not qualify.

The brothers worked together to win the 'Brothers' Joint Medal' by staying as roommates in the athletes' village for this competition.

Lee Yong-moon said, “Other brothers fight a lot, but we are close like friends,” and added, “Regardless of the outcome of the game, I will raise my voice and cheer for my brother.”
