On the recent episode of SBS “Strong Heart”, our golden-hearted Sooyoung shared a heartwarming love story of Park Seung-il. As you might have already known, Park Seung-il used to be a part of South Korea’s national basketball team before he’s being diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease which paralyzed his entire body. Sooyoung is known to visit him frequently despite her busy schedules and she even once recommended a book written by Park Seungil on Starcall before.
Park Seungil had said that he’s very thankful to Sooyoung, but Sooyoung herself said that she’s more thankful to him because she’s able to learn more about love through the man and his devoted girlfriend. On “Strong Heart” Sooyoung revealed the touching story,
Basketball player Park Seung Il has had Lou Gehrig’s disease for the past 8 years. I heard he liked SNSD, so I went to see him. The disease had advanced to such a state that he could only move his eyelids. He started fluttering his eyelashes when we went, and his girlfriend said that it was him showing a cute hidden talent. His girlfriend is currently looking after him by herself.
She is Park Seungil’s first love. They were destined to be together even after Park Seungil went abroad to study, became a basketball coach and later married someone else. After he was diagnosed with the disease, Park Seungil decided to file for a divorce. After that, his current girlfriend looked for him and managed to find him. When they finally met, Park Seungil asked ‘Would you be with me?’. She agreed and she has been looking after Park Seungil for 5 years now.
After seeing their love, I began to think that love was devotion. They never lose hope. He always says that when he gets up, he’ll marry her.
When I see him, I became comforted, so I want to thank him. He says he’s thankful to me, but I’m more thankful to him.
What a heartwarming love story ;__;
All the best wishes for Park Seungil and his girlfriend!
Recently, Yoona also came along with Sooyoung to visit Park Seungil as seen on the pictures below. If you’re wondering, all the pictures of Sooyoung visiting him were uploaded by his girlfriend to Park Seungil’s cyworld/fan site.
They’re such beautiful people inside and out. ❤

Damn, I think I might just have to marry her
just another reason to love the girls more.
Really sweet of SooYoung.
Just proves thats she’s an angel.
Well all the girls are 🙂
awww. such a sweet and inspiring story. ^_^
What’s a touching story …
I hope that SNSD will always being humble as they are
(You know, most celebs become more arrogant as their popularity grows)
No matter how famous and how success they are now
they should always keep in their heart that it’s not only because of their talent and hard work
but also because of us, their devoted fans, the Sones …
Please love us the way we love you … SNSD Jjiang! (^_^)
now that’s a really touching story… that’s LOVE… and with beautiful GOddesses visiting i think Park Seungil would be ok.. i don’t know so much his disease but with Sooyoung’s and Yoona’s Help…and the Other Girls he would be ok ^_^… SNSD Saranghae…. the Girls are so true ♥♥♥
Angels!
that girlfriend is absolutely stupid. the guy dumped her to marry someone else. now that he is in need, he asks for her to come back? if he really loved her they would have been married from the beginning.
dan, nope his girlfriend finds him instead of he asks her to come back. you know, sometime love makes us do crazy/foolish stuff without us noticing. his ex girlfriend probably tried to restrained herself.. but like i said before, love makes us do silly things 🙂
anyway, sooyoung, i love love love love you! you’re very beautiful. inside and out. thanks for being such an angel. dont you ever change. stay humble, stay sweet. stay like this. 🙂 oh yoona’s beautiful too..
they’re truly angels with beautiful hearts. Sooyoung, we love you!!! you’re amazing 🙂
Can I have a Sooyoung?…just a guy version of her. Thanks :] haha
That’s a really cute love story. She’s right, love is devotion, it’s how much you’re willing to give to the other person and not requiring anything in return ❤
that’s was so touching……love you soo much sooyoung…
Beautiful Sooyoung, you are indeed the personification of LOVE (the AGAPE [i.e. unselfish] kind) 🙂 <3333. May you always stay the same and lucky is the guy that eventually wins your heart 😉 😀 !!!
According to Wikipedia, people with Lou Gehrig’s Disease Have about 3 to 5 years upon onset of symptoms, and that is is incurable. Which makes this really bittersweet: That Sooyoung’s sharing his story on national television, (seriously, his gf’s been doing everything on her own? Damn, that’s a lot of work; I hope she gets some help after this) yet he will most likely die within the next year or so (only about 10-20% live on for another decade or so)…
