Li Gyong-hui was born on July 10, 1972, in Pyongyang.[3] Her father (who died in 2004) was a teacher who re-educated major party officials at the Kim Il-sung Higher Party School.[3] She first started rhythmic gymnastics at age 11 because of her mom.[3] Her father originally opposed the idea of making Li into a rhythmic gymnast as he wanted her to go to university and was concerned about her career as a gymnast hindering her academic achievements to go to university.[3]
