The Department of Sports and Physical Training thanks you for accompanying the Vietnamese shooting team. We always appreciate your contributions to shooting as well as your affection for Vietnam. In order to prepare for the goal of winning gold medals for ASIAD 2026 and Olympics 2028 according to the strategy, the Department of Sports and Physical Training needs time to review, evaluate and adjust the plans of key sports, so the cooperation and invitation for you to continue coaching the shooting team will be announced to you as soon as possible.
The Department of Sports and Physical Training hopes to have the opportunity to continue working with you in the future. Hopefully, you will be a bridge contributing to the development of sports relations between Vietnam and Korea. Once again, we would like to sincerely thank you and wish you and your entire family all the best."
At 9:45 p.m. on September 12, sharing with Thanh Nien Newspaper, expert Park Chung-gun said: "I will consider the proposal of the Department of Sports and Physical Training. In my opinion, there are terms that need to be carefully considered and discussed. For example, the goal of winning 3 gold medals at the 33rd SEA Games is within reach. The goal of winning 2 gold medals at the 2026 ASIAD is possible. However, the Olympic gold medal is not easy to achieve.
I think Vietnamese shooting needs more synchronous investment. It needs a lot of investment if we want to win gold medals. I will discuss with them carefully and express my opinion frankly.
I hope to work in an environment of sincerity and honesty. Only by trusting each other can we achieve our goals."
Specifically, the Department of Sports and Physical Training proposed to sign a contract with Mr. Park Chung-gun in 2 phases:
- 2024: from October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024
- Year 2025: from January 3, 2025 - December 31, 2025
In particular, the key goal assigned to Hoang Xuan Vinh's Korean teacher is to win 1 to 2 gold medals at the 2026 ASIAD and 1 gold medal at the 2028 Olympics.
It is expected that the Sports Administration and Mr. Park Chung-gun will negotiate in the next few days. A very sad news has just come to the family of expert Park Chung-gun, his father has just passed away in the US.
