The donation ceremony was attended by Jung Eun-bo, Chairman of the Korea Exchange, Jang In-hwa, Chairman of the Busan Metropolitan City Sports Council, and other officials.

This initiative has been continuously promoted since 2021 to nurture young sports talents in the Busan area who are diligently studying and training hard in challenging environments, aiming to develop them into future sports professionals. The support targets students who cannot receive professional training due to poor conditions and student athletes who have achieved excellent results.

This year, world-renowned table tennis player Lim Jong-hoon (affiliated with the Korea Exchange) supported his juniors by donating a special scholarship of 10 million KRW for student table tennis players.

Jung Eun-bo, Chairman of the Korea Exchange, stated, “We hope this support will help student athletes balance their studies and sports, enabling them to lead fulfilling athletic careers,” and added, “We will continue to maintain our interest and support so that the challenges of young people with unlimited potential toward the global stage can persist.”
