The KFA Football Love Sharing Foundation and the Korea Professional Footballers Association have extended warm hands for their teammates who left the ground due to an accident for three consecutive years.

The Soccer Love Sharing Foundation and the Korea Professional Footballers Association held a donation ceremony at the Korea Football Association Football Pantageum in Mapo-gu, Seoul on the 8th and delivered a total of 20 million won to support Shin Young-rok and Yoo Yeon-soo's rehabilitation. The delivery ceremony is the result of a combination of the will of the two organizations that promised continued interest and support beyond simple one-time support.

The Soccer Love Sharing Foundation and the Professional Footballers Association have been making ties since January 2024 and delivering donations to the two players. In particular, it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) last year and solidified the cooperative relationship. At the event, the two organizations donated 10 million won to each player to support their new lives and rehabilitation.

Shin Young-rok regained consciousness after collapsing from an acute heart attack during the 2011 game, but stopped his career. Yoo Yeon-soo sadly announced his retirement from a car accident caused by a drunk driving vehicle in 2022. The two organizations decided to apply with the aim of not forgetting the fighting spirit and pain shown by the two players and sharing the love sent by the members of the soccer community.

Kim Ho-gon, chairman of the Soccer Love Sharing Foundation, said, "We will try to make soccer at the center of good influence that meets social expectations and trust with the Korea Football Association," adding, "We hope that our support for Shin Young-rok and Yoo Yeon-soo will continue."

Lee Keun-ho, president of the Players Association, said, "As colleagues and seniors and juniors, it is an important role of the players' association to create a culture of helping and relying on each other when they are in trouble," adding, "Please remember that Shin Young-rok and Yoo Yeon-soo are not alone. I will continue to work with the foundation to become a strong fence for the players to protect each other," he said.

The Soccer Love Sharing Foundation and the Professional Footballers Association will plan more diverse social contribution campaigns this year to create a Korean soccer culture loved by fans outside the ground.
