[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] “I wandered for a while, but I will train hard for my dream.”


According to KH Group, which operates the Blue Nanum Foundation, a handwritten letter arrived on the 25th from A, a middle school student attending school in Pohang, and B, a high school student from the same area.


In the letter, A said, “I lived with my grandfather and grandmother during elementary school and entered middle school with the dream of becoming a judo athlete. I will work hard to become a good athlete by training diligently with the scholarship supported by my grandfather, the chairman.”


Earlier, on the 24th of last month, the Blue Nanum Foundation provided scholarships to young sports talents through the ‘Sports Dream Tree Scholarship Support Project’ to expand corporate social responsibility.


B also expressed gratitude, saying, “Due to family circumstances, I came to Pohang alone where my grandfather and grandmother live and attend school. While going through many mental struggles, I received a scholarship through the recommendation of my coach.”


He added, “The judo team of the professional club was also founded, and Coach Song Daenam, as well as athletes An Changrim and Cho Guham, who won medals at the Tokyo Olympics in Japan, supported the team. I will also train hard and repay with good results by joining the KH judo team.”


KH Group continues to support the development of low-income sports talents through the Blue Nanum Foundation. Scholarships were provided to 20 young athletes in total: 10 judo dream talents and 10 soccer dream talents from elementary, middle, and high schools. Starting this year, the scale and scope of scholarships have been expanded to ensure that sports talents do not give up on their dreams due to difficult circumstances.



A representative of the Blue Nanum Foundation said, “KH Group plans to spare no corporate-level support to nurture low-income sports talents and fulfill its social responsibility.”
