Guro District in Seoul has reorganized its workplace sports teams and is preparing for the upcoming national tournament season.

On March 6, the Guro District Office (Mayor Jang Inhong) announced that it had held a 'Workplace Sports Team New Player Induction Ceremony' at the Renaissance Hall of the district office. At the event, a total of nine individuals were officially introduced, including three newly appointed athletes for the wrestling team and six members of the badminton team—comprising the head coach, coach, and four athletes.

The new members include Park Sungmin, Park Junho, and Na Honggil for the men's wrestling team, and Heo Hunhoe as head coach, Park Jihwi as coach, and Kim Hyerin, Kim Yunju, Cho Yeonhee, and Jeong Chaewon for the women's badminton team.

The wrestling team is now composed of head coach Jeong Sunwon, incumbent athletes Kang Daegyu and Jeong Yongseok, and the three new members. The badminton team is led by head coach Heo Hunhoe and coach Park Jihwi, with existing athlete Eom Subin joined by four new athletes.

Guro District operates its workplace sports teams in a professional manner through a business agreement with the Guro District Sports Council. Among the 25 autonomous districts in Seoul, Guro District is the only one to operate both a women's badminton team and a men's wrestling team as professional teams at the same time.

Both teams are intensifying their training, focusing on off-site and practical drills ahead of this month's national tournaments. They are assessing their performance with the goal of winning top placements in major competitions during the first half of the year. A Guro District official stated, "With the newly reorganized teams, we will strive to improve our competitive edge and deliver strong results to give back to our residents."
