Kang Han, a 19-year-old Dong-Eui University student, is a professional Kabaddi player. He's a national athlete with an outstanding physique of 188cm (6 ft 2 in) in height and 85kg (187lbs) in weight. However, on the inside, Kang Han has a painful personal story. 

The athlete has never seen his parents. 

Kang Han was left at a foster home by his mother when he was just an infant. After 18 years, he had to leave the foster home and find living on his own. 

Currently, he's working hard in training with the goal of entering the '2018 Asian Games'. Kang Han is working especially hard in hopes to find his parents. 

The athlete stated, "I came to think, 'Wouldn't my parents come find me if I become famous?' I want to see the faces of my mother and father at least once. I want to tell them, 'Thank you for giving birth to me.'"

Kang Han continued, "In middle and high school, I blamed them thinking, 'Why did they throw me out?', but that thought went away as I tried to find living on my own. I'm actually grateful to my parents.They could've chosen abortion but they didn't... And I was also born with great physical characteristics."

Many netizens are cheering on Kang Han and hope he achieves his dreams on winning a medal and finding his long-lost parents.
