Listen "Climbing Boy Kim Hyun-jun & Father Kim Ju-woon"
Episode Synopsis
Ten-year-old Hyun-jun, a third grader at Jungang Elementary School, was born and raised in Jeju. Alongside his father, who was also born and raised in Jeju, Hyun-jun explored the island’s natural beauty through “caravan camping” from the time he could barely walk. Small, agile, and solidly built, he quickly picked up and excelled in any sport he tried. By chance, he encountered climbing, which captivated his young heart. Now, he says his dream is to "grow up and compete in international competitions," showing how much climbing has become his passion. Just five months after he began climbing, he won first place in the Jeju Education Superintendent’s Cup. In April 2023, he secured another victory by taking first place in the elementary school division at the 57th Jeju Provincial Sports Festival.
