This year in April, the city secured a budget for the launch of the Para Taekwondo Team, selected the head coach through a fair recruitment process, and plans to complete the remaining administrative procedures, finalize the team roster, and hold the inauguration ceremony within the year.

Won Kangsu, Mayor of Wonju, said, "I am very pleased to welcome Coach Jin Cheonsu, who has a diverse coaching background including serving as a national team coach, to lead the nation's first para taekwondo team established by a local government. We will spare no effort in supporting the successful operation of the newly established para taekwondo team."

He added, "I hope the launch of the para taekwondo team will serve as an opportunity to invigorate sports for people with disabilities in Wonju, ensuring that marginalized individuals with disabilities have access to sports activities and the right to health."
