Chun Jae Park, PhD

Dear Taekwondo friends,

Dear Taekwondo Friends,

My name is Chun Jae Park. I am a Kukkiwon Board Director, a WT Council Member, and a former World Champion. 

For over 50 years, Taekwondo has been my life — as an athlete, a teacher, and a college professor.

Today, I also have the honor of teaching Taekwondo to U.S. lawmakers in Congress, and to children in public schools in Virginia. These experiences showed me how Taekwondo can connect people around the world.

If I become Vice President of WT, I will focus on three things:

First, I will bring Kukkiwon and WT closer, giving more benefits to MNAs.

Second, bring Taekwondo into public school programs around the world.

Third, help each MNA share Taekwondo with their own lawmakers and leaders.

Taekwondo gave me everything in my life. Now I want to give back — by serving you and by making WT stronger, more united, and more respected.

Thank you for your support!

Thank you.
Merci beaucoup.
Muchas gracias.
Danke schön.
