Woo Hee-jun is a beauty queen and a first lieutenant in the South Korean army, but her first love is the ancient Indian sport of kabaddi.
South Korea’s Woo Hee-jun competes in the women’s team group kabaddi event against Thailand during the Asian Games in Hangzhou, China.
She first fell in love with the tag-meets-rugby sport after seeing children playing it on the streets during a trip to India. “I joined the army and I went for Miss Korea in 2019, but I came back to kabaddi because kabaddi means a lot to me when you compare it to other challenges.” The sport is popular in India, Pakistan and Iran but Korea managed to finish fifth at the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta.
