Cho Eun-hye ranked 9th in the Paralympic Wheelchair Fencing Women's Epee Individual (Sports Grade B) held in Grand Palais, Paris, France on the night of the 6th (Korea time). After losing to the quarterfinals, they lost to Trinity Lowesian of Canada 7-15 in the second round of the consolation match.
The start was fresh. In the round of 16 of the women's epee individual event, the main event, she easily reached the quarterfinals by defeating Monika Santos of Brazil 15-1. However, Cho lost 10-15 in the quarterfinals against China's Lan Zuao, the silver medalist in the individual epee event at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games for the Disabled. They fought to 8-9, but after giving up three points in a row in the last minute, they were driven to 9-13 and eventually failed to turn the tables.
Cho Eun-hye, who fell from the quarterfinals, advanced to the second round of the consolation match and aimed for the bronze medal match. Low Si-an, who met her first opponent, once faced Cho Eun-hye in the round of 16 of the Sabres' individual tournament held on the first day of wheelchair fencing. At that time, Cho Eun-hye won 15-8.

As a result, Cho Eun-hye finished the three individual events of the Paris Paralympics (Sabre, Fleur, and Epee) tied for 7th, 4th, and 9th, respectively. The Paris Paralympics confirmed that the gap with world-class athletes is still wide. However, he suffered a spinal cord disorder caused by a fall accident, but he was determined to lose as if he had opened his "second career" as a member of the national wheelchair fencing team. Cho Eun-hye's career as a paralipian has only just opened.
Cho Eun-hye said "I should have done it with more confidence, but the problem was that I followed the opponent's movement too much. Distance is important, but I think there are many things to supplement"Tomorrow's (Epe) team competition is left. I will look back and supplement what I have played so far, and I will work hard until the end with good performance in the team event."
Then there will be the Asian Games two years later and the Paralympics four years later. I will strengthen my skills more firmly and win a medal then. Now I've only played Paralympics once. I will think of it as a good experience and study it well and play a good game because there is something I learn in every game."

As soon as director Park heard that he showed tears, Cho Eun-hye's big eyes tried to form water. Cho Eun-hye once again collected her emotions, saying, `I'm sorry.' After a while, he shouted "Fighting!" and left, saying he would play well tomorrow.
Cho Eun-hye was the head of the makeup team in the first movie of the box office hit action movie 「The Outlaws」 and was in charge of the makeup of actors Ma Dong-seok and Jin Sun-kyu. It was my dream to be the best makeup artist in the movie industry. However, I had a spinal cord disorder due to a sudden fall accident. He is fascinated by wheelchair fencing, which he encountered on TV during rehabilitation treatment at a hospital, and is confidently pursuing his new career as a wheelchair athlete by contacting the association in person.
Jin Sun-kyu, who rose to stardom with his impressive performance as the main supporting actor of The Outlaws, delivered a message of support through his personal SNS (Instagram) ahead of the Paralympics. Even ahead of the Epee match on the 6th, along with a picture of Cho Eun-hye's match, 'Our grace is so great. Do well and come back. I'll pray for you!He also posted a message saying '.
