While worldwide study of the martial arts increased in popularity in the early 1970s, due in part to work of Bruce Lee,[3] taekwondo was still largely unknown outside of Korea.
Park is also an advisor to the United States Taekwondo Education Foundation, a non profit organization whose mission statement is to spread Tae Kwon Do philosophies to public schools.
[4][10] The January 2014 issue of Tae Kwon Do Times Magazine featured Grandmaster Park and his sons, Edward and Elliott, in an article about the changing demographics of leadership in the United States Taekwondo community from its Korean School founders, which were largely Korean immigrants, to their children, who are largely first generation Americans.
[12] In January 2016 Park was named President of the Board of Tae Kwon Do Life Magazine, an international print and digital publication.
In August, 2019 Grandmaster Park was awarded a 10th Dan Certificate from the Cheonjiwon World All Martial Arts Federation in Korea.
