"I support the dreams of promising players who will lead the future of Korean sports."

The KYK Foundation, led by "Volleyball Emperor" Kim Yeon-kyung (38), will expand the scope of support for promising Korean players to non-volleyball events.

The KYK Foundation announced on the 23rd that it will recruit "2026 Youth Scholars" who will lead the future of Korean sports. "In 2026, we want to be with not only volleyball but also players in various sports. I hope a lot of interest and participation from student-athletes who are challenging their dreams," he added.

The selection of scholarship students is designed to encourage dreamers who are constantly challenging even in difficult environments and to support them to develop their capabilities as professional players.

This year's selection size is up to six in volleyball and up to five in other sports other than volleyball, with a total of less than 11 scholarship students to be selected. The qualifications for application have been expanded to include student athletes enrolled in middle and high schools registered with the Korean Sports Council or sports organizations. The purpose is to expand the scope of support to prospects in various sports and promote balanced development in the sports world as a whole.

Selected scholarships will be provided with scholarships to concentrate on training, as well as specialized medical services taking into account the athletes' physical conditions and supporting items necessary for exercise. The result reflects the foundation's careful support policy to help players continue training safely without injury.

An official from the KYK Foundation said, "The foundation's core mission is to help potential players realize their dreams without worrying about realistic restrictions or injuries," adding, "We will establish a customized support system that considers the health and training environment of players beyond simple financial support."

Eligibility for application and detailed application methods can be found on the official website of the KYK Foundation, and filing of documents will be held until April 5.
