PV Sindhu hasn't had a good start to 2023 as she lost both of her matches in the Badminton Asia Mixed Team Championship and the move might be in the offing for some time. Tae Sang helped Sindhu in claiming the Tokyo Olympics bronze, the Commonwealth Games and also the World Championships gold. Park also revealed in that Instagram post that his father's health is not good and he arrived in India with a very heavy heart. He issued a statement on Instagram.
"Hello, it's been a while since I said hello.I came back to Hyderabad a few days ago. And I want to say thank you to everyone who worried about my father. To be honest, my father's condition is not good yet. So I felt heavy walking back to India," Park Tae Sang said.
"And I'd like to talk about my relationship with PV Sindhu, which many people have asked about. She has made disappointing moves in all recent matches, and as a coach, I feel responsible. So she wanted a change and said she would find a new coach. I decided to respect and follow her decision. I'm sorry that I can't be with her until the next Olympics, but now I'm going to support her from afar. I will remember every moment with her. I would like to thank everyone who has been supporting and encouraging me," Tae Sang concluded.
