Kim Heejeong, the office team leader who received the Jeollanam-do Governor’s commendation, took the lead in promoting harmony in the local community during various sports events through smooth communication with school sports, professional sports, and community sports clubs.

Leader Park Hyesuk, who received the Jeollanam-do Sports Association President’s commendation, contributed to the development and dissemination of senior community sports programs such as line dance, health gymnastics, dementia prevention, and laughter therapy at town and township welfare centers and senior centers with exceptional passion.

Leader Ha Sangmin, also awarded the Jeollanam-do Sports Association President’s commendation, introduced a new health program for seniors using foam rollers, which was selected as the best program at Nadri Welfare Center, and developed and disseminated a strength training program for seniors using squat bands, receiving positive responses.

The Hwasun-gun Sports Association stated, “This achievement was made possible by the active support of Hwasun-gun and the Hwasun-gun Council,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to promote community sports activation and develop and disseminate various programs for the health and fitness improvement of the residents.”
