His talent for athletics was noticed by a coach who watched him run in a relay at a sports festival. He began competing in long jump before switching to pole vault. "Due to my bad results in long jump, there was no team that wanted me to join. However, a pole vault coach asked me to enter the team. That's how I began the sport."

General Interest

General
BORROWED POLE
He was unable to take his 5.2-metre pole to the 2020 Bankstown Pole Vault Permit in Sydney, NSW, Australia, due to flight regulations. His coach Kim Do-Kyun found that retired Australian pole vaulter Steve Hooker had a pole of similar length at his home in Adelaide, SA, Australia, and Kim drove nearly 3000 kilometres to get the pole and bring it to Sydney for Jin to use. At the event, he cleared the qualification standard for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo of 5.80m. "I changed the length of my pole from 5.1 to 5.2 metres in 2019, so coach Kim and I were looking for one similar to mine. I was worried very much as Hooker's pole was made in 1998, so it could have been broken while jumping. However, I was happy that it suited me quite well. Now I'm aiming to clear 5.90m with my pole ahead of the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo." (news.sbs.co.kr, 08 Mar 2020, 04 Mar 2020)
