The Grand Launch of ‘Again PyeongChang 2042’

■ The Journey So Far (Progress Report)

The road to "Again PyeongChang 2042" has been paved with years of dedication and sweat:

2007: A 2,014km cross-country tour on roller skis and inline skates to bid for the 2014 Winter Olympics.

2021: A 4,066km walking tour across South Korea for the success of the 2024 Gangwon Youth Winter Olympics.
