Chang Ung

Chang Ung was a remarkable man whose life was a vibrant tapestry of dedication, passion, and heart. People often remembered him for more than just his title—he was the kind of person who made everyone feel seen and valued. I’ll never forget the time he spent late into the night coaching a young player, his voice steady and encouraging, reminding them that effort and kindness mattered far more than results. He had a heart so warm it could light up a room, and his love for North Korea’s sports community shone through every decision he made. Family and friends shared stories of how Chang brought laughter and comfort during difficult times. His personality was warm, his energy infectious, and he always had a smile ready to share. He was not just a leader in sports or politics, but a true companion who brought joy to everyone around him. Whether it was celebrating a victory or offering support through challenges, Chang always showed up with sincerity and strength. His passion for sports and his commitment to peace through Taekwon-Do left an indelible mark on the world. I was deeply grateful to have known a man who lived with purpose and grace, leaving behind a legacy of love and inspiration. May his memory continue to remind us of the power of kindness and the joy of a life well-lived. Chang Ung passed away with a gentle smile, surrounded by loved ones who knew him truly. He will be deeply missed, but his spirit will forever live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
