The Taekwondo representative team of the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Chairman: Man Hee Lee), has once again proven its prowess on the international stage by winning medals across the board at the 2025 Park Chung-hee Cup International Open Taekwondo Championships.

Hosted by the Park Chung-hee Cup Organizing Committee and jointly organized by the Gyeongbuk Taekwondo Association and the Sangju Taekwondo Association, the tournament drew over 4,200 athletes from 18 countries, including South Korea, the United States, and France. The event was held from July 18 to 21 at Sangju Indoor Gymnasium and featured a variety of events such as comprehensive performances, breaking, poomsae (forms), kicking, and sparring, offering a multidimensional evaluation of each athlete's skill.

On July 19, 25 members of the Shincheonji Taekwondo team competed in the individual division of recognized poomsae. Despite a short training period, the team showed exceptional focus and dedication, delivering outstanding performances. Their efforts paid off with 4 gold medals, 7 silvers, and 14 bronzes - a remarkable achievement with every member reaching the podium.

This tournament also served as a platform to enhance Korea's stature in cultural diplomacy. As an international event hosted in the homeland of Taekwondo, the team's strong showing left a lasting impression on both domestic and international participants.

Gold medalist Lee Jun-wi shared his thoughts:

"Though training time was limited, I did my best to focus within the time given. I'm grateful that my efforts led to such a great outcome."

Team coach Kim Deok-hun remarked:

"This was a high-level competition featuring outstanding athletes from both Korea and abroad. I'm proud that our athletes delivered their best without faltering. Building on this experience, we plan to train systematically and strategically so that even more athletes can compete next year with improved skills."

The Shincheonji Taekwondo team also saw tremendous success earlier this month at the 2025 Kim Un-Yong Cup International Open Taekwondo Championships held in Busan, where all 12 participating members medaled - 2 took first place, 4 second place, and 5 third place - marking back-to-back full-team wins at international competitions.

At the 2024 Mungyeong World Taekwondo Hanmadang held last year, 5 out of 18 Shincheonji athletes also placed, further demonstrating consistent excellence in both domestic and international events. The team has earned recognition for its athletic prowess as well as its stable and disciplined management.

The Shincheonji Church of Jesus is actively fostering talent not only in faith but also in sports, culture, and the arts. The church plans to continue promoting healthy lifestyles and social contribution through its athletic and community activities.
