[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] “We will realize a happy Gyeongnam sports where residents joyfully participate in sports.”

On the 24th, Shin Seok-min, Dean of the Graduate School of Education at Gyeongnam National University, held a press conference at the Provincial Council briefing room and announced his candidacy for the president of the Gyeongnam Sports Council.

Dean Shin said, “Many sportspeople have long called for the Gyeongnam Sports Council to guarantee the development of sports, but in many areas such as welfare for sportspeople, athlete development, sports infrastructure construction, and the human rights of athletes and coaches, it has fallen short of the expectations of the times.”

He promised, “As a traditional sportsman, based on my experience and professional insight, I will prepare institutional reforms and innovation-oriented plans.”

He also said, “I will create a proud sports council where sportspeople receive fair treatment and can have pride.”

On this day, Dean Shin presented three core pledges: ▲ Establishment of the Gyeongnam Sports Council Athlete Village ▲ Production of the Gyeongnam Sports Council Welfare Card ▲ Establishment of Gyeongnam Sports Middle School.

Since the candidate briefing session for the Gyeongnam Sports Council president held on the 9th, two candidates have declared their intention to run: Dean Shin and the current president Kim Oh-young.

President Kim has been leading the Gyeongnam sports community since his inauguration on January 16, 2020.
