The Korean Olympic Committee emphasized, "Chungbuk National Police Agency Chief Shin Hyo-seop participated as a lecturer, conducting case-based training on the themes of 'Hang up on unknown numbers and absurd content' and 'If you don't know the tactics, you could be a victim.'"

Regarding the main content, the committee stated, "The training covered ▲major types of voice phishing and latest criminal tactics ▲cases impersonating financial institutions and public agencies ▲cybercrime types using SNS and messaging apps ▲customized prevention guidelines for national team athletes ▲reporting and initial response procedures in the event of a crime ▲post-incident handling procedures and support systems, covering the entire process from prevention to post-response."

The Korean Olympic Committee conveyed, "As financial and cybercrimes such as personal information leaks, account hacking, and monetary fraud have recently increased, the Korean Olympic Committee is strengthening the protection system for athletes in cooperation with the Chungbuk National Police Agency. We are supporting athletes so they can focus on training in a safe environment. In the future, we plan to continuously expand preventive education to protect athlete safety and human rights."

Kim Taek-soo, the training village chief, said, "Creating a safe environment so that national team athletes can focus on training and competition is an important role of the training village.
