This is anime original we are here talking about and this is sunghoo park’s first ever anime original debut as a director so the possible outcome is that he won’t involve himself as a director in jujutsu kaisen 2 . Yeah this is a speculation or assumptions whatever you can think but this is something certain to happen in future .
Sunghoo park was a freelance from the start yes , but he was actually recruited as an employee for Mappa by former ceo of Mappa Maruyama at first, after the departure of Maruyama he became a freelance who is contracted with Mappa studio and now he left the studio in order to make his own original projects .
Logically speaking an anime original takes more time than a normal Tv adaptation, even if sunghoo park handled GOH and jjk both in the same time but this time the scenario is different he is handling his own passionate project while he can’t accept doing something big like jujutsu kaisen s2 at the same time .
There will be questions like who will be the new director for jujutsu kaisen s2 ?
Mostly it’s gonna be Shouta Goshozono, Ryouhei Takeshita or else some new young talented animator just like how they selected nakayama for chainsawman.
Does this will affect the production ? Nope not even in the slightest
Chainsawman staffs and jujutsu kaisen staffs will be working vise-versa for both series . Said by chainsawman character designer Kazutaka Sugiyama in Twitter

If you have any new director for jjk s2 in your mind free to put it here .
Fingers crossed is Shota Goshossono he directed ep 17 of season 1 (one of the best in my op) and recently did ep 21 of ousama ranking at wit!! He also confirmed, on twitter, he is now completly under mappa so I assume he was actually hired with a contract to work for the studio... so we have someone young but experienced and already prove in episode directing, hungry for work, already familiar with the project/staff/production as he directed an ep in season 1, recently hired to the studio animating season 2 and ,for last, just like chainsaw man´s Nakayama he hasnt directed an anime before and the production unit under Seshita at mappa seems to like new and upcomer talents to take over big projects. Hope its him as he is a beast of an animator and storyboarder(dude his storyboards are insane) he boarded ep 21 of ousama and it was the best of the series with other big names also directing and boarding eps in that anime. Im a bit biased as you can see because I love his work but I really think he is a fitting person to continue Park´s work.
