The Seoul Olympics Commemorative National Sports Promotion Corporation (Chairman Cho Hyun-jae), in conjunction with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, announced that it will hold donation events during the last week of April, Sports Week (April 21-27).
First, the organization will launch the second season of its "Show Us Your Sports" campaign to encourage sports activities among the public. If citizens post their sports activities on social media with hashtags (#SportsWeek, #Dangsbo), they will earn 1,000 won for each post and donate it to the underprivileged.
The campaign will run until the 27th, the last day of the 'Sports Week', and the campaign videos, in which Lee Young-pyo (KBS commentator), Seon (singer), Shin Yoo-bin (table tennis player), and Kim Jun-ho (fencing coach) actively participated to encourage people to engage in sports activities, can be seen on KBS 1-2 TV, the Korea Sports Authority's YouTube channel 'Baekho-dol TV', and Instagram.
In addition, on the 21st, the first day of the Sports Week, a 'Run Together' event will be held at the Olympic Park. It is a marathon event that runs around the Olympic Park by course (3-10km and half-course), and participants will receive various rewards such as sports activity incentive points and souvenirs. The Korea Sports Authority will donate a portion of the participation fee and its own donations to the underprivileged.
