[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Former Executive Vice Chairman of the Yangsan City Sports Council, Park Sang-su, is running for the 2nd term of the elected president of the Gyeongnam Yangsan City Sports Council.


With the election about 50 days away, on the 4th, former Vice Chairman Park announced his candidacy and expressed his intention to contribute to the development of local sports by communicating with Yangsan Mayor Na Dong-yeon on sports-related city administration.


Former Vice Chairman Park stated, “I will actively communicate with Yangsan City to build a vigorous city sports council with strong driving force,” explaining his reason for running.


Having served as the President of the Gyeongnam Taekwondo Association under the Gyeongnam Sports Council from 2016 to 2019, he declared his second challenge following the 1st elected president election three years ago.


Known as a powerful sports figure, former Vice Chairman Park contributed to attracting the Presidential Taekwondo Tournament to Yangsan in July 2019 during his tenure as the Executive Vice Chairman of Yangsan City, which not only promoted the region but also generated an economic ripple effect worth approximately 4 billion KRW.


A well-connected figure in the sports community, he took the lead as the “Joint Election Countermeasures Headquarters Chief” during the local elections in June, supporting the election of Mayor Na Dong-yeon for the 8th term.



The Yangsan City Sports Council presidential election is scheduled to be held on December 30 at the Yangsan Sports Complex Gymnasium. Voting will be decided by an electorate of about 200 delegates representing various sports disciplines.
