Park In-bee said, "The Olympics is an important event that realizes global peace and friendship," adding, "It is a competition where the united power of sports can be realized." Chairman Ban encouraged her by saying, "We hope Park In-bee will become a pillar of our country's sports diplomacy." Chairman Jo also said, "I strongly support Park In-bee's campaign to spread the Olympic legacy. Let us work together with the Foundation to promote Olympic value education and the dissemination of sports values."

Park In-bee was selected as the final candidate for the IOC Korean Athletes' Commission on the 14th of last month. She won the competition against Jin Jong-oh (shooting), Kim Yeon-koung (volleyball), Lee Dae-hoon (taekwondo), and Kim So-young (badminton). The IOC reviews candidates recommended by each country and selects the final athlete commission candidates. The election of IOC Athletes' Commission members is done by direct voting from athletes participating in the Olympics. To become an IOC Athletes' Commission member, a candidate must rank within the top four in the vote at the Paris Olympics, which will conclude on August 11 next year.
