Chung Yun-hee
South Korean long-distance runner
Chung Yun-hee (Korean: 정윤희; born 3 January 1983) is a South Korean long-distance runner and marathon race specialist.
She began competing in the longer road running events at a comparatively young age and was third in the Seoul Half Marathon in 2001 – her time of 1:17:51 was among the fastest by a junior that year. The following year she made her debut over the full distance at the Seoul International Marathon and secured third place with a time of 2:33:22. She earned a spot on the South Korean team for the 2002 Asian Games in Busan and ran a career best of 32:46.54 for the 10,000 metres, finishing in fifth place. At twenty years old she entered the 2003 JoongAng Seoul Marathon and came away with her first win in the event, setting a course record time of 2:30:50 which stood for four years.
She won the Chunju-Kunsan International Marathon in April 2004 and earned selection for the national Olympic marathon team. At the 2004 Athens Olympics, she finished in 23rd place, the second South Korea past the line after her compatriot Lee Eun-jung. She disappeared from the international athletics scene in 2004 and only re-emerged in 2008.
She made her comeback at the Gyeongju International Marathon in October 2008 and was runner-up behind her national rival Yun Sun-suk. Continuing her focus on the marathon she ran at the Seoul International Marathon and finished in sixth place.

Why this record matters
The phrase “south Korean long-distance runner” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 17, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q677179. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1983, 2001, 2002 and 2003.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
