In 2021, Chun returned to the national team, participating in the Sudirman Cup and Thomas Cup that year, and in April 2022, world No. 995 Chun returned to the international circuit after five years, finally defeating Japan’s Kondo Naraoka in the final of the Korea Masters to win the international title after five years of absence.
