In TV Chosun’s’Life Documentary My Way’, former marathoner Lee Bong-ju confessed his current state of combating muscular dystonia.
In’Life Documentary My Way’, which aired on the 15th, Lee Bong-ju appeared with a curved back and was shocked. Lee Bong-ju said, “From last January, my body seems to have suddenly collapsed. If we properly understand the cause, we can fix it, but the cause does not come out,” he confessed to the fact of fighting the disease.
Lee Bong-ju said, “Since before, my back has been slightly bent. So I bought my son a brace to wear on his shoulder when he was birthday, and told him to take care of it. I should have been paying attention from that time, but I think I was too proud of my body.” I confessed.
He suffered from severe stomach tension and pain without knowing the reason for more than a year, and he went to all the famous hospitals and received constant treatment and rehabilitation training.
Lee Bong-ju, who said that he couldn’t even run a marathon because of an incurable disease, said, “There were many times when I was frustrated with the thought of’What will I do if I go with this body for a lifetime’. That’s why I was afraid to go outside. “Because I was bent over, I felt a lot of pressure on myself and there were many times. Why are you giving me such a trial?” he smiled bitterly.

The name of the disease that the couple discovered lately is muscular dystonia, a neurological disease in which abnormal movements in which the muscles are twisted or consistently take an abnormal posture regardless of their will. The cause of the disease is still unknown.
In response, Misoon Kim said, “I couldn’t sleep after looking. This is very scary. Why is it such an incurable disease? What the hell is the problem?” he was upset. Lee Bong-ju, who needs to be supported by his wife even when walking, is the most difficult thing, and he said, “I can’t lie down and sleep.”
He confessed, “I can’t sleep if I don’t take medicine when it’s severe. Recently, I’ve been sleeping a little, but I’ve been unable to sleep for a long time, so I’ve stayed up all night with my eyes open,” he confessed. My wife Kim Mi-soon said, “I fell twice last year. A ligament was injured in a wrist fracture. “I can’t eat, so last summer seems to have been the worst for us.”
Neurosurgeon said to Lee Bong-ju, “There is no problem on the spine and back side, and there is only a little disc. There is an abnormality in the blood vessels coming up from the back of the waist. There is an abnormality in the blood vessels coming up from both thighs, so the blood vessels are treated. I will try to do it,” he diagnosed.

Lee Bong-ju confirmed the condition of his neck that was improved two weeks ago through constant treatment and rehabilitation. He said, “I feel good. It doesn’t appear, but I sleep well and I don’t feel so bad, so my wife is the one who suffers the most from next to me,” he said. Following Lee Bong-ju, “I have to see how I feel better at the beginning of the year, and this year I have to make my body so that I can run.”
At the same time, Lee Bong-joo made a determination, saying, “I think that if you do it like a marathon, you will overcome anything. You have to endure it with that spirit.”
On this day, Lee Bong-ju also confessed that he had adopted his nephew. Lee Bong-ju suggested that Kim Mi-soon’s nephew, who lost his father in a car accident, be brought home first. Misoon Kim said, “Whenever I come home, I hug all three children like this, first, second, and third. Usually that’s not easy. This person always hugs all the kids. That was the same,” she thanked her husband.
Lee Bong-ju said, “By the way, this person was the hardest person than anyone else. It was when I was a player at the time. It would have been a lot harder because it was this person who lived realistically.”
