As a consequence of their dedication in their late teens and early twenties, some players see no way back to being "normal", getting a regular job and education. So, they keep playing year after year, even when their hands slow down and they can no longer truly be competitive at the highest level. I guess some enjoy themselves, but old school players like Lee Yoon Yeol have said they no longer "enjoy" the game, it is just a job to them.
