Olympic athlete Lee Yong Dae explained his trademark "wink ceremony" that gained attention during the '2008 Beijing Olympics'.

In 2008, Lee Yong Dae and his partner in badminton mixed doubles, Lee Hyo Jung, defeated their opponents to win the gold medal match. Once they had scored their matching point, Lee Yong Dae ran to the camera, pointed, and winked.

The MCs of 'Healing Camp' asked, "When you won the gold medal at the '2008 Beijing Olympics' at the badminton mixed doubles match, you winked at the camera. Was that for your girlfriend?"

Lee Yong Dae responded, "I didn't have a girlfriend back then. If I think about a ceremony beforehand, I can't focus on the match. When my face showed up on the large screen, the wink came out without me knowing it."
