Team Korea is a one-man team for nordic combined, with 28-year-old Park Je-un alone taking on the challenge.
In 2013, Park became the first-ever Korean nordic combined athlete in the national team, alongside Kim Bong-joo.
Park’s father, who is a two-time cross-country skiing Olympian, was Park’s coach when he debuted at the PyeongChang Olympics. At the PyeongChang Games, Park also competed in the ski jump team event as Team Korea’s fourth member.
