While her background as the daughter-in-law of Chairman Chung Ju-young and wife of Chairman Chung Mong-yoon of Hyundai Marine & Fire Insurance is notable, casinositerank.com Kim Hye-young has been playing bridge for many years.
Bridge is a popular sport in China, and was famously a favorite of former Chairman Mao Zedong. It was a demonstration sport at the 2002 Salt Lake Winter Olympics and the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, and was an official sport at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang and Hangzhou Asian Games.
The sport requires a wealth of experience and teamwork (cohesion) with a partner, so it is characterized by a high age range of competitors. The oldest members of the Korean national team are bridge players Im Hyun (73) and Kim Yoon Kyung (73).
Kim, who took up the game around 2010, organizes annual bridge tournaments to raise money for charity and donates the proceeds to Fruits of Love.
Kim played her first qualifier in mixed bridge on the 27th. She teamed up with Kang Sung-seok, Oh Hye-min, Noh Seung-jin, Hwang In-gu, and Lee Soo-hyun. gostopsite.com
