Donning a fancy orange velvet jacket, Lee Won-hee, 28, an Olympic gold medalist in judo at the 2004 Athens Games, walked towards his fiancée Kim Mi-hyun, 32, an LPGA professional golfer who just completed the second round of the LPGA Hana Bank-Kolon Championship 2008 in the Ocean Course at Sky72 Golf Club in Incheon on Saturday.
With the gallery as their witnesses, Lee proposed to his fiancée with the gift of an engagement ring. Kim¡¯s eyes were teary. Lee invited fellow sports stars, like Choi Min-ho, a fellow Practitioner who won a gold in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Jang Mi-ran, a gold medal-winning women¡¯s weightlifter, and Park Tae-hwan, the star swimmer who won gold in the men¡¯s 400 m freestyle and silver in the 200 m freestyle.
