Daesang Welllife Awards Silver Medal Prize Money to National Rugby Team

Supporting Rugby National Team with Protein Drinks Since Last Year

Daesang Wellife announced on the 28th that it has awarded a total congratulatory prize of 20 million KRW to the national rugby team, which won the silver medal for the first time in 17 years at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games.

Since last year, Daesang Wellife has been an official sponsor of the Korea Rugby Union. It signed a sponsorship agreement worth 600 million KRW over three years until 2025, providing nutritional management support and physical fitness assistance to improve the athletes' performance.

Considering the intense physical contact and high energy consumption characteristic of rugby, Daesang Wellife actively supports various products, including the balanced nutrition brand ‘Newcare’, the protein-specialized brand ‘MyMeal’, and health functional foods.

In the rugby final of the Hangzhou Asian Games held on the 26th, the Korean national team narrowly lost to Hong Kong 7-14 but achieved the remarkable feat of winning the silver medal for the first time in 17 years since the 2006 Doha Asian Games.

To commemorate this, Daesang Wellife is holding the ‘Rugby National Team Victory Celebration Event’ until October 9. On Daesang Wellife Mall and Naver Smart Store, customers who purchase over 50,000 KRW will receive one gifticon of the official sponsor drink ‘Arpoten Energy Shot’, and those who purchase over 100,000 KRW will receive one box of ‘Arpoten Energy Shot’.

A representative of Daesang Wellife said, “We sincerely congratulate the team as their hard work has borne fruit in the form of a silver medal, and we have delivered the prize money to celebrate this achievement. Daesang Wellife plans to continue its efforts to provide consistent nutritional management for the national rugby team and to promote rugby sports.”
