The award ceremony was attended by Mayor Lee Donghwan, the Director of the Education and Culture Bureau, the Head of the Sports Policy Division, and Park Hyejeong's coach. Park Hyejeong received an encouragement prize of 20 million won.

At the World Weightlifting Championships held in Førde, Norway, from October 3 to 12, Park Hyejeong lifted 125kg in the snatch, 158kg in the clean and jerk, and a total of 283kg, winning gold medals in all three categories. She became Korea's only gold medalist and achieved the triple crown.

This victory is a remarkable comeback after finishing second at the 2024 World Weightlifting Championships in Bahrain, and marks her second world championship title following the 2023 Riyadh event.

In addition, Park Hyejeong achieved the triple crown at both the East Asian Weightlifting Championships and the Korea-China-Japan International Weightlifting Competition held in Fuzhou, China, in August this year. With her latest sweep at the World Championships, she has now claimed the triple crown at three international competitions in 2025 alone.

Through this achievement, Park Hyejeong once again demonstrated the unrivaled status of Korean women's weightlifting on the world stage, and as a member of the Goyang Special City Hall workplace sports team, she brought further honor to the city.

Mayor Lee Donghwan stated, "Park Hyejeong, who has always trained diligently and given her best in every competition, has achieved a valuable result on the world stage as the fruit of her efforts, raising the profile of Goyang Special City. I hope she will continue to shine at the center of Korean weightlifting without injury in the future."
