On the 24th, a video titled 'Why I run 81.5 kilometers every year even though I know it's a group' was posted on the YouTube channel 'With Sean'.
Sean is working on a project to build 100 houses for descendants of independence fighters. Sean runs 81.5km every Liberation Day every year to raise money needed to build a house.
Sean also challenged for the 81.5-km marathon on National Liberation Day. Unknowing crew members also gathered to support Sean.
Sean, whose eyes are swollen after receiving fluids the day before, said "I had symptoms of cold body aches two days before Liberation Day. I had to run 81.5km, so I got an IV. I was worried because I had colds and body aches."
The unknown crew members helped Sean as a pacer. Sean, who ran 8.15km in the first leg, said "I was in fairly good shape after the first leg. The pace was good, too. But I still had Achilles tendon and heel pain. It doesn't disappear when you run, but it hurts every time you step on it. Still, it was in pretty good shape.'
Lee Young-pyo, who was the first pacer, was running behind in the second section as well. Lee Young-pyo is the first to propose 815 runs to Sean. Lee Young-pyo said, "I'm sorry, and I always feel guilty." he said.

Sean has been playing as a pacer for three yearsIt means a lot to me that my best daughter will join me in the challenges and meaningful things that my father does because she is the first child who gave me the name Dad in the same case. Hahm also knew how I was doing, so I kept praying for him' He sent me a text message."
Sean, who ran over 48km, ended up stopping due to heel pain. Sean started running again after taking a two-minute break. Sean took a break from time to time and controlled his condition. Sean "At the last 16 kilometers away, if I stop at the resting point, I can't cover myself and people help me. When it stops, all the leg strength is loose and I can't walk. If you say you're going to start, you're going to run with your mental strength. "I stood up with the thought that I should finish 81.5 kilometers quickly." He moved again.
Sean completed 81.5km in 7 hours, 50 minutes and 22 seconds. As soon as he crossed the finish line, Sean collapsed. Sean "After running, the body seems to get its act together. Isn't it natural that you don't have strength. Until then, I'm just hanging in there, and as I go in, my body comes to its senses with relief. I think he's sitting down" he said.
