Coach Park met with Lee Seung-hwa, who was inaugurated as the 47th Sanchung County Governor on the 1st, to congratulate him on his inauguration and have a friendly talk.


Along with congratulating the inauguration, Coach Park visited his hometown Sanchung to see his mother, Baek Soon-jeong, who will turn 100 years old this coming September.


Coach Park Hang-seo is known as a devoted son. Those who know him well say that the nickname "Papa" (meaning father) was given to him because "Coach Park's warm personality as a devoted son who always takes care of his mother first is evident."
