A member of the Korean Sports Association of the Disabled, Kim Yong Rok, is a table tennis player with disabilities.
At 12, he lost both of his forearms in an accident. Though physically handicapped, he did not give up his dream of becoming a sportsman.
Back in 2014, he began to play table tennis.
His tireless efforts bore fruit–a gold medal in the disabled men’s singles at the 2016 national table tennis competition of persons with disabilities and amateurs; one silver at the 3rd Asian Paralympics in 2018 in Indonesia; two golds and one bronze at the ITTF Asian Para Championships 2019 and the ITTF Para Table Tennis Bangkok Open 2019; one gold at the Tournament of Persons with Disabilities and Amateurs-2023.
Seeing the boy training hard with a racket fixed on his arm, people call him an iron-willed man
