"Thank you for being with me for 100 days."
On the 100th day of his inauguration, Yoo Seung Min (43), the president of the Korean Olympic Committee, gave a coffee car at his own expense to the athletes who moved into the Olympic Hall in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 12th. 115 servings of walnut snacks were delivered for the employees of Jincheon Training Center. The phrase 'Thank you for being with me for 100 days' was included together.
Yoo, the Athens Olympic table tennis champion and former member of the IOC Athletes Commission, was elected as the 42nd president of the Korean Olympic Committee on Jan. 14 for the youngest time ever. He officially took office on February 28 and celebrated his 100th day in office on the 7th. Chairman Yoo, who has been in breathless communication with athletes, leaders, parents, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the National Sports Promotion Foundation, the provincial sports association, and sports organizations for 100 days, has prepared a surprise event for employees and athletes. Around 11 a.m., a coffee truck for 400 people arrived in front of the Olympic Hall. Employees who came out of lunch under the summer sun lined up in twos and threes and enjoyed coffee and churros. Not only employees of the Korea Sports Association, but also employees of the National Sports Promotion Foundation and sports organizations participated.
Choi Sun-kyu, deputy director of the HR department of the Korea Sports Association, said "It is meaningful and proud that the chairman encouraged not only the sports association but also the sports organizations." I hope all the sports organizations in the Olympic Hall will cheer up and work hard for the development of sports." Deputy Yong Hwa-yeon said "Thank you so much for giving me a coffee car for the executives and employees of sports organizations on the 100th day of his inauguration. Thanks to you, I think I can work cool today," he said with a big smile. Lee Mok-eun, director of the Korea Triad Association, said, `"Cold coffee in hot weather gives me energy. These events seem to strengthen each other. I look forward to the next 100, 200, and 300 days.' Kim Seung-sik, deputy head of the Global Growth Support Team at the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation with his team members, said, `Thanks to the coffee car you sent me in this heat, I feel encouraged. It is good to see and appreciate that such an event seems to be a venue for sportsmen's harmony at the Olympic Hall, where all sportsmen are gathered.
Chairman Yoo, who went on a business trip to the Chungcheongnam-do Provincial Sports Festival on this day, said, "Members of sports organizations suffer the most about coffee car gifts." Employees of the Korea Sports Association have also been exhausted and struggling. The employees of the industrial complex are always providing a lot of help. The organization and sports are excited only when our members are excited. It's not a big deal, but I hope you know that I always think about our members and think about what I should do for them", he explained. "I hope it will be 100 days with sportsmen, not 100 days of celebrating by myself." "I've only just taken my first step. It takes time just to turn the mood around. Nevertheless, it is a small heart that expresses gratitude for the athletes who silently wait and support them. "
In fact, this is not the first time Yoo Seung-min's 'Surprise Event'. When he was the president of the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics athletes' village, he gave chocolate as a surprise gift to all the members of the organizing committee for Valentine's Day, boosting morale. Chairman Yoo said, `When I said I would make a coffee car, the secretaries and working-level staff were surprised and liked it.' `I want to continue to make fun things together while communicating with sportsmen.' "The majority of sports organizations working at the Olympic Hall are under 45 years old. I will communicate with you first in a young atmosphere. Members should be excited and energetic. Sports associations, industrial complexes, and sports organizations are not organizations that make a lot of money or make efforts immediately. I want to communicate with my heart and take care of the exciting atmosphere and fill it. In the future, we will continue to create various fun events that members can participate in and continue to have a strong and enjoyable atmosphere"I vowed.
