Jeong Tae-seok, the new director, is the chairman of the Speak Rehabilitation Medicine Department and has been a member of the K League's medical subcommittee since 2013. Director Chung has been linked to the K-League for a long time, including Seongnam FC and Ansan Greeners, who are currently in charge of Suwon FC's doctor.
In particular, director Chung donated all of his royalties to K League Association along with the appointment of the director. 'Doctor Football' is a book that easily unravels soccer science and medical knowledge based on academic exploration of soccer physiology and various injury treatment experiences of soccer players. Director Chung will also donate future royalties to the foundation.
Director Chung said, "I am grateful to be with you while sympathizing with various social contribution programs conducted by the Foundation. In the future, we will consider and actively participate in programs that will expand the good influence of soccer and K-League," he said.
Kim Ho-nam is a former K-League player who has played for many K-League clubs including Gwangju FC, Jeju SK, Incheon United, Suwon FC, Pohang Steelers, and Bucheon FC, and is currently serving as a representative of habit education company 'Chambadi' after retirement in 2023.
Director Kim said "What I felt during my 25 years on the field is that more players are feeling invisible hardships than I thought. I will study and create a program that can guide these parts with K League Associates. I will continue to create programs that can empathize with the players' eyes," he said.
Meanwhile, K-League Associates is carrying out various social contribution activities such as 'Care Project' for player welfare, expansion of soccer viewing and participation by the disabled, and eco-friendly campaigns with the aim of 'Environment in which everyone can enjoy soccer'. The field experience of directors Jeong Tae-seok and Kim Ho-nam, who newly joined the K League Association, is expected to contribute greatly to strengthening the effectiveness and professionalism of care projects in the future.
