On this day, about 70 participants including AI Peppers players, Seo-gu volleyball club members, and Seo-gu office staff took part, reaffirming their commitment to realizing the value of 'Good City Seo-gu.'

Kim Ikang, Mayor of Seo-gu, said, "This Sseudam Walking event is meaningful as it involves not only physical activities but also environmental cleanup, with lifestyle sports enthusiasts accompanying the Seo-gu city brand 'Good City Seo-gu.' We will do our best to create a happy Seo-gu through the positive influence of various sectors without limitations on location or scope."

Meanwhile, the women's professional volleyball team AI Peppers relocated all their facilities, including their stadium Pepper Stadium, training facilities, team office, and dormitory, to Seo-gu last year. Since then, they have been engaging in various activities to nurture local youth volleyball players and expand the base of lifestyle sports, such as ▲ signing a cooperation agreement for mutual development with Seo-gu ▲ volleyball classes with AI Peppers ▲ home game events of the women's volleyball V-League AI Peppers team ▲ delivering volleyballs as sponsorship items to Sangmu High School.
