Park We stood up from his wheelchair and did pull-ups.
The rehabilitation exercises and hook strap scenes in the pre-release video of Park Wi and Song Ji-eun's appearance on 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2' were highlighted.
Park Wi attempted a pull-up by lifting his body from a wheelchair using only the strength of his upper body. In a pre-release video for the SBS variety show 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 - You Are My Destiny' released ahead of its broadcast on the 23rd, the couple Park Wi and Song Ji-eun were shown working out together at a gym. Rather than a simple exercise scene, it is closer to a depiction of how Park Wi protects his body and maintains his daily life following quadriplegia.
He added gripping strength with hook straps
The first thing that catches the eye is the hook straps worn on Park Wi's wrists. He explained that because it is difficult to grip the handles firmly with his hands before starting cable exercises, he uses auxiliary equipment attached to loops. Park Wi calmly demonstrated the process of supplementing the strength needed to pull the cables with equipment, saying, "Even if I don't have strength in my hands, I have hook straps."
The reason this scene is important is that it prevents rehabilitation from being viewed merely as a matter of vague willpower. Park Wi's exercise cannot be summarized by the single word 'enduring.' If hand strength is lacking, he uses equipment; if his body tilts, he stabilizes himself with his other hand; and he connects possible movements one by one. Although it is a pre-release clip for a variety show, it reveals how the core of actual rehabilitation lies in specific adjustments and repetitions.
He maintained balance with a body lacking core strength
Watching the workout, Song Ji-eun remarked, "My husband has no core strength." The core refers to the muscles that stabilize the center of the torso. For Park Wi, the fact that it is difficult to use this strength significantly increases the difficulty of the exercise. The trainer also pointed out that pulling weights without losing balance is not easy.
Park Wi pulled the exercise machine with one hand while holding his body with the other. He explained, "If I let go with my hand, I will fall over." While it looks like an upper-body exercise on the surface, he is actually enduring not just the arms and back, but also the time spent resisting his body from leaning forward. Therefore, the weight of this video lies in the process rather than the record or the success itself. This is because the invisible struggle for balance is a harder battle than the visible muscles.
Pull-ups, lifting his body from a wheelchair
Next, Park Wi connected straps to the pull-up bar to fix both hands. After supplementing the condition where it is difficult to grip the bar for a long time with equipment, he lifted his body from the wheelchair using the strength of his arms and back. As the pull-up motion followed, the studio cast could not hide their astonishment. This scene resonates more deeply because it shows that Park Wi is not just 'doing' exercise, but is rebuilding the threshold of exercise in a way that suits his own body.
Park Wi was diagnosed with quadriplegia following a fall accident in 2014, and since then, he has steadily shared his rehabilitation and daily life through his YouTube channel and broadcasts. He married Song Ji-eun in 2024. This scene, where the two visit the gym together, is both a glimpse into the daily life of a married couple and a demonstration of how exercise after a disability is closely connected to life. Maintaining back muscles is also linked to maintaining posture and pushing a wheelchair.
The next point of confirmation is the main broadcast
This story is news based on a pre-release video before the actual broadcast. Therefore, rather than inflating it into a premature touching story, it is better to view Park Wi's explanations and movements as they were confirmed in the video. In the main broadcast, there is a possibility that it will more broadly cover why Park Wi considers back exercises important and how Song Ji-eun stays by his side during the rehabilitation process.
The Park Wi and Song Ji-eun episode of 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 - You Are My Destiny' will air on the night of the 23rd. There is one point for viewers to observe: not just the moment he lifted his body from the wheelchair, but what kind of equipment Park Wi chose and what posture he held to reach that moment. The time of rehabilitation is seen more clearly in the repetitions before and after a single moment of success.
