Definitely true.

Actually, this already happens for a few days, not weeks, several times a year and at junior and senior levels. It isn't just because of Park Joo Bong, though. Coach Sung just took a big contingent (minus the Olympians) to Japan yesterday for the 29th annual edition of the national team version. 29 years means it started around the time Park started winning international titles. I believe that around the early 80s, Korea hadn't won anything yet so funding was a problem. Japan had an international tournament, top players and coaches, and the leading badminton manufacturer (which sponsored Korea for decades) at that time so the current situation is a reversal of the original roles.

hi,
i know this might not be related to the thread, but does anyone has any idea who the coach for the korea team WS is?

**event** · 06-18-2012, 10:43 AM

Usually Kim Ji Hyun.

thanks for the info!

Is it true Park JB is leaving as Head Coach in a matter of months? When that happens, it's going to be tough for JAP badminton and might even undo some of the gains under him. I doubt JAP can afford to find a suitably qualified replacement for him. Hope Yonex can do its part in terms of funding (maybe they already have but not enough?).

I heard that Malaysia wanted to hire Park Joo Bong...

But with BAM style of work, i would say its impossible

If terms and conditions are mutually agreeable and acceptable by PJB and BAM, then PJB would accept BAM offer.
For BAM, they needed the right powerhouse to deliver the short term and longer term goals. For PJB, if the reward, challenges, infrastructure, support staff, players, autonomy to do his work are all set in place, he would not rule out this opportunity. If this deal doesn't go through, he can always extend his contract with JP or consider new venture.

Park doing a great job at Japan...

He definitely is. Most badminton followers could see the differences and improvement he has brought to JP team. A trully remarkable achievement. When his contract is coming to an end next March, he's just interested in exploring what opportunities are available out there.

Well, it's confirmed as of today that Park Joo Bong will continue as coach until the Olympics in Rio 2016.
Apparently he got job offers as coach from Australia, Denmark and Malasia but decided to stay in Japan.

Good move, Japan on the way up lots of potential, and he's already settled there. Denmark and Malaysia have potential, but why move when you are comfortable already?
