After the 2014–15 season Park switched to long track speed skating where she qualified to represent South Korea at the 2015 World Single Distance Speed Skating Championships. She had originally planned on retiring from speedskating altogether after Sochi but wanted to challenge herself to skate in long track and also have the honor of competing in her home country in the 2018 Winter Olympics. She became the first South Korean athlete to ever compete in short track and long track speedskating at the Olympics.[7]
