CANBERRA, Australia - eTravelWire -- The Taekwondo team of Shincheonji Church of Jesus (Chairman Lee Man-hee) proved their skills again on the international stage as all team members won medals at the '2025 Park Jung-hee Cup International Open Taekwondo Championships.'

The Championships was hosted by the Park Jung-hee Cup Organizing Committee, and co-organized by the Gyeongbuk Taekwondo Association and Sangju City Taekwondo Association. From July 18 to 21 at the Sangju Indoor Gymnasium, more than 4,200 athletes from 18 countries came, including South Korea, the USA, and France.

On July 19, 25 athletes from Shincheonji's Taekwondo team competed in the individual-recognized 'poomsae' category, winning an impressive total of 4 gold medals, 7 silver medals, and 14 bronze medals—achieving the remarkable feat of having every team member place.

Gold medalist Lee Jun-wi said, "Although the training time was not sufficient, I tried to stay as focused as possible within the given time, and I'm thankful that the effort led to such great results."

Head coach Kim Deok-hoon stated, "As this was an international-level competition, it created a highly competitive environment. I'm proud that our athletes showcased their skills without wavering. Based on this experience, we will systematically prepare training programs and strategies so that we can participate with more athletes and improved performance next year."

In addition to this achievement at the Park Jung-hee Cup, the Shincheonji Taekwondo team also had all members win medals earlier this month at the '2025 Kim Un-yong Cup International Open Taekwondo Championships' held in Busan. At that event, 12 athletes participated, securing 2 first-place finishes, 4 second-place finishes, and 5 third-place finishes, continuing their record of consecutive wins in international competitions.
