Such success would have been unthinkable without the sincere efforts of coaches of the National Taekwon-Do Team.

Among the coaches is Labor Hero and People's Athlete Jang Kyong Ok.

It is my desire to train more aces for the development of Taekwon-Do, she said when interviewed by KCNA.

She was one of successful Taekwon-Do players in the DPRK. She was a 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.

She is now active as an A-class international referee.

The International Taekwon-Do Federation honored her with a special cup for her excellent refereeing in the 10th World Juvenile Taekwon-Do Championships and the 5th World Veteran Taekwon-Do Championships.
