정용화의 중학교 동창이라고 자신을 밝힌 이가, 졸업사진 인증과 함께 정용화 갤러리에 남긴 글 中.

"기억나는게 몇개있는데 2학년 체력장때 운동장 7바퀴를 도는데

1등이 한바퀴차이나서 꼴찌를 따라잡으면 꼴찌가 탈락되는 그런 룰이였었는데 용화가 1등이였음

근데 꼴찌랑 한바퀴 차이나서 따라잡는줄알았는데 꼴찌하는애 탈락안할수있게

꼴찌 바로 뒤에서 설렁설렁 뛰면서 웃으면서 힘내라고 말하면서 안따라잡으면서 설렁설렁 뜀

그래서 뒤에 애들도 용화때매 못따라잡고 그 꼴찌가 완주했던 기억이남"


-from a story shared by YH's middle school classmate (who uploaded a yearbook picture as a proof) @ DC JYH:

"I remember a few things. In 2nd year, during our annual physical education exam, we had to run 7 laps.

The rule was set so that when no.1 runs one more lap fast enough to pass the last runner, the last runner gets a fail.

Yong Hwa was no.1 so when he ran almost one more lap than the last runner, I thought he would catch up.

But without passing, he ran leisurely right behind the last runner so that he wouldn't fail, smiling and cheering him up.

I remember how because of him, the kids who were following couldn't pass by and the last runner finished the laps."


Such a warm, warm person even back then.


【和訳】ヨンファの中学校時代のクラスメート（学校の年間アルバム写真をアップした人）からの話（ヨンゲルより）：

「いくつかのことを覚えています。2年生の時のことですが、毎年行われるの体育の試験の時に、私たちは7周走らなくてはならなかったのですが、

トップの人が一番最後のランナーに追いついてしまい追い抜かれてしまうと（つまり一周分以上差がついてしまうと）その一番遅い人は失格となってしまうルールだったんです。

ヨンファはトップで、あと少しで一番遅い人を追い越す勢いだったので、そのまま追いつくかと思いました。

しかしヨンファは追い越したりせずに、最後の人が失格にならないように、その後ろをゆっくり走り、微笑みながら彼を応援していました。

ヨンファのその行動のおかげで、その後ろに続いていた生徒たちももちろん追い抜いたりすることはできなかったので、ランナー全員が無事走り終えることができたことを覚えています。

"I've never found anything more exciting to do...I feel like it's my calling."

Though there was hardly anything new in the People Inside interview, this comment really struck something in my heart. He's someone who wholeheartedly accepts his fans' love, but never takes it for granted. As his fan, I feel so appreciated and loved back from what he said here.
