Jae-ah Lee announced her retirement through her SNS (social network service) on the 8th.
Jae-ah Lee said, “Today, I would like to announce my separation from tennis, which was my everything. I had a dream of becoming a world-class tennis player for 10 years. That dream was everything to me. But last week, I had to undergo my third knee surgery. “It got to the point where I had to give up on my dream,” he confessed.
He said, “After the second surgery last winter, the hospital director told me that it may be difficult to repeat intense training such as tennis any longer. It is not easy to give up, so I tried to try again, but now I feel like I will never achieve that dream.” He confessed.

In the process, I think that my painful experiences will serve as a foundation for achieving greater growth. “He said with strength.
He pledged, “I was in a situation where I had to give up my dream, but I found courage in giving up, accepted my own pain, and will definitely show you how I can grow and work harder in any way in the future.”
