Nov 20, 2025

On the 20th, the Korean Sports Association and the Tae-in of the 「Sports Love Company」 held the 「Tae-in Sports Scholarship Award Ceremony」 at the Jincheon National Training Center.

Promising student athletes from 62 sports selected from across the country, including Kim Taek-soo, president of the athletes' village, and Lee Sang-hyun, president of the Korea Cycling Federation, attended the event held at the champion house of the Jincheon National Training Center.

Tae-in's scholarship project to foster athletic dreamers is a sports-specific scholarship program led by small and medium-sized companies, and it has the longest history as a specialized scholarship project in the sports field that has been carried out every year since 1990. From 2023, the scope of scholarships has been expanded to all full-member sports organizations of the Korea Sports Association (64 organizations), and from this year, it has been designated as an official sponsorship project of the Korea Sports Association. So far, about 750 million won in scholarships have been delivered to a total of 803 students.

It is a meaningful event in which an advisory committee consisting of Olympic medalists and sports stars has discovered and nurtured athletic talents who will lead the future of K-sports through systematic and fair screening. Sports stars who won medals at last year's Paris Olympics, including archery Kim Woo-jin, Shim Si-hyun, Kim Je-deok, shooting Oh Ye-jin, Park Hyo-jin, weightlifting Park Hye-jeong, and table tennis Shin Yoo-bin, are all Tae-in scholarships 'Dongmun'. At this award ceremony, Kim Taek-soo, former Olympic medalist and president of the national team, delivered a message of encouragement and hope by sharing his challenge as a lecturer of the 「Sports Star Lecture」. Hwang Young-jo (athletics), Lee Eun-kyung (Archery), and Jeong Seong-sook (Yudo) attended the scholarship award ceremony to encourage scholars in person. After the delivery of the scholarship certificate, student athletes in each sport participated in the national athletes' village tour program and had time to look directly at the training site of the national athletes and reflect on their careers and goals. .

Seo Eun-soo, who rose to the top of the men's 54kg class at the World Taekwondo Championships, expressed his gratitude on the day, saying, "This scholarship is not just a support for us, but a great strength and belief to move toward our dreams. We will grow into a player representing Korea with constant challenges and sincerity and shine the name of Tae-in Scholarship."

In a congratulatory speech, Chairman of the Korean Sports Council Yoo Seung Min congratulates and encourages those who have been selected as the 36th Taein Stadium student. The KOC will do its best to support you to concentrate on training in a safe and fair sports environment," he said. "The Taein Sports Scholarship is an important scholarship project that instills hope and confidence in the students who will lead the future of our sports," said Kim Taek-soo, head of Jincheon Training Center," he said. Lee Sang-hyun, CEO of Tae-in Co., Ltd. and Chairman of the Korea Cycling Federation (Thank you of the Korea Sports Association), said, "The Tae-in Sports Scholarship, which began with the aim of conveying the value of challenge and passion through sports, has been able to continue for more than 30 years thanks to the trust of the sports community and the efforts of student athletes. The hope of Korean sports is that Tae-in Sports Field students are constantly working hard and growing. Tae-in will continue to be with scholarship students so that they can believe in themselves and challenge themselves beyond their limits"I promised.
