About Me
I studied Physical Education Development and graduated at Myeongji University in South Korea after that, turned into pro. Played mostly ITF circuit and challenger events. I am still able to have a hit with my players.
I’m committed to my coaching, I’m passionate about my players’ development. I genuinely love working with people, helping them to enjoy, improve their tennis & to be good people.
I love travelling, working out, challenging myself, taking pics and being in the nature. I’m into calisthenics, running and hyrox so have done a few Marathon events and will continue to enjoy my hobbies.
I’m positive and bright so like to spread good energy to others.

Testimonial
Knowing Jihee personally from the tour. Jihee spoke fluent English and was one of the top coaches to work with me over the last 20 years. She thrived in every area of the development pathway that she worked in from beginner, through to high performance, and Tour level players. I cannot recommend her enough and watching her further improve and develop into one of the leading female international coaches has been a pleasure.
