The SKT Sports Dream Tree Support Program, which was launched for the balanced development of amateur sports in 2022, is a program that finds and cultivates excellent sports talents early and helps middle and high school athletes train in a stable environment. This year, 30 middle and high school students, including amateur unpopular 16 sports such as track and field, swimming, fencing, and weightlifting, were selected.
The 3rd SKT Sports Dream Tree sponsorship ceremony held at SKT Tower in Eulji-ro, Seoul on the afternoon of the 27th was attended by male and female fencing prospects Angber William Gabriel and Cho Joo-hyun, 「Squash Monster」Na Joo-young and"Athletic Javelin Throw" Lee Sae-bom and"Kim Seo-hyun. The program, which marks its third anniversary this year, is considered to be a stepping stone and stepping stone for sports prospects to grow into national teams in Korea, where there is a lack of support for amateur sports. Among the first and second SKT Sports Dream Tree athletes, Shin Soo-min, Namadi Joeljin, Mun Moon-young, Kim Joon-woo, and Choi Jin-woo, who were in high school, won a total of 19 gold medals, 5 silver medals, and 7 bronze medals at the 105th National Sports Festival last year.
Na Joo-young, a member of the national squash team who was selected as a SKT sports dream tree ahead of the 2028 LA Olympics challenge, said "I am really grateful that I received social attention and corporate support through sports."I really want to repay you with good results." Oh Sang-wook, the star of Fencing Korea, whose sponsor is SK Telecom, cheered for the dreams of junior players through a video message at the sponsorship ceremony. "It's lucky that a sports player can't come easily with someone's attention and help. I hope you can fulfill your big dreams to your heart's content."
Kim Hee-seop, head of SK Telecom PR Center, who covered SKT's hats and delivered bouquets to the promising players at the sponsorship ceremony, said "We hope that the athletes selected as promising sports players will achieve their bigger dreams not only for national teams but also for international competitions."SKT will be a strong support to help amateur sports hopefuls grow further," he said.
SKT has been sponsoring the Korea Fencing Association for 23 years, and has been intensively supporting amateur players such as Park Hye-jung in women's competitions.
