Viktor Ahn, ‘the emperor of the short track’, is promoting a return to Korea.
Victor Ahn recently applied for an open job as a coach for the ice team at Seongnam City Hall.
Seongnam City Hall is an active team before naturalized in Russia.
Victor Ahn, winner of three gold medals at the Turin Olympics and undisputed ace of the national team.
When the Seongnam Town Hall Ice Team was disbanded, he was a naturalized Russian citizen in 2011 and won three gold medals at the Sochi Olympics.
He was unable to compete in the PyeongChang Olympics due to doping issues.
At the Beijing Olympics last year, he turned into a coach and led the Chinese national team.

Later, it was reported that Viktor Ahn rejected a contract offer from a foreign national team and returned to Korea.
The city of Seongnam said it would conduct interviews this week and announce the latest shortlisted candidates later this month.
If Viktor Ahn returns as coach at Seongnam City Hall, he will coach Choi Min-jung, the “empress of short track.”
