Golf queen Park In-bee (37) confessed to her past slump.

In the upcoming episode 574 of the KBS2 entertainment program 'The Return of Superman' (hereafter 'Superman'), which will air on the 21st, 3MCs Park Soo-hong, Choi Ji-woo, and Ahn Young-mi will join Kim Jun-ho and Park In-bee for the 'The Greatest Gift of My Life' segment.

In particular, Park In-bee will appear with her supportive parents, who are the original kingmakers, and candidly share the joys and sorrows of her time as a golf player.

Recalling a time when she was in a severe slump, Park In-bee revealed, "I thought about quitting golf and opening a video store," surprising everyone in the studio. At that time, the only joy she had was watching Korean dramas, and she was deeply immersed in the drama 'Winter Sonata' starring Choi Ji-woo and Bae Yong-joon, which made her consider actually starting a video store.

However, after a long slump, Park In-bee returned to the top of her game after four years. She expressed her deep gratitude for her family's support, saying, "The reason I was able to achieve such results was because of my family." Her mother added, "Even if it's hard now, there will come a day when you will be grateful for it," which moved everyone in the studio.

Additionally, Park In-bee reminisced about her journey from when she first started playing golf in elementary school to her early days as a professional, and she also enjoyed a cozy meal with her parents after a long time.

She expressed her respect for her mother, who carved out a life for her two daughters in a foreign land, saying, "Mom is the bravest woman in the world," while her mother responded, "I feel like I saved the universe in my past life because of In-bee," showcasing their infinite trust in each other and creating a warm atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Park In-bee's mother also shared her special feelings about her son-in-law, Nam Gi-hyeop. She said, "He is saved in my phone as 'Grateful Son-in-law' and he is the one who pulled In-bee out of the abyss." Park In-bee also expressed her love for her husband, saying, "Before meeting my husband, I had one win, and after meeting him, I achieved 26 wins," showing her appreciation for the support he has given her.
