[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] Taekwondo athlete-turned-trot singer Na Tae-ju revealed for the first time in 24 years that he was involved in a traffic accident.

On the 19th, the TV Chosun entertainment program 'Taste of Wife' aired an episode featuring Na Tae-ju, showing a meal scene with his family.

During the broadcast, Na Tae-ju's third aunt asked him, "How did you end up practicing Taekwondo?"

Na Tae-ju replied, "When I was young, I was very good at mental arithmetic," adding, "I memorized the multiplication table all at once."

He continued, "When I was seven, I was hit by a car and flew through the air. I was unconscious for a few minutes," and said, "Then a man carried me on his back and took me home. At that time, I didn't know anything about compensation, and since I seemed fine, I just went home."

He then said with a laugh, "From what I see, my academic ability ended after that incident," and added, "That's why I did Taekwondo."

Additionally, Na Tae-ju said, "After my parents divorced when I was young, six aunts raised me," and added, "I also feel sorry about that."
