Park Hee-jun (born March 29, 1994) is a South Korean senior male karateka.
The 24-year-old became the first South Korean to win an Asian Games medal in kata, a non-sparring event in which practitioners demonstrate the Japanese martial art’s patterns and movements.[1] Since karate became an Asiad medal sport, South Korea has won eight bronze medals over the last six Asian Games, all in kumite, a sparring discipline.[2] He placed third in the Karate1 Premier League's 2014 Jakarta tournament.[3]
