“Step forward with the resolve to challenge. Ignite your inner flame and change the future.”
Having lived a life defined by challenge and exploration, I am truly honored to walk alongside all of you as an affiliated athlete of Sun Frontier, which embraces the same values.
As an Asian athlete, I will continue to take on the unprecedented challenge of placing in the top eight at the IRONMAN World Championship—an achievement no Asian has yet attained—and carve out a new path with my own hands.
