The DPRK team won four trophies and 16 gold
medals in the 19th World Taekwon-Do Championships, ranking the first in

world champion at women's individual sparring in above 70kg category.
She won technique prizes in the 9th, 10th and 11th world Taekwon-Do
championships.
She entered upon a coach career in May Juche 97 (2008).
She has made big contributions to putting up the DPRK team on
winner's podium in different international games, including the 16th,
17th and 18th world Taekwon-Do championships.
Over 20 players among her trainees were awarded the titles of People's and Merited Athlete.
