The Sports Ethics Center under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (acting director Han Min-soo Lee (President)), in collaboration with the Korean Olympic Committee and 17 sport-specific organizations, operated on-site human rights protection activities during the 55th National Youth Sports Festival.

The center stated, "During the festival, human rights protection officers were dispatched to 17 sports events to carry out preventive activities and on-site monitoring to eliminate blind spots in human rights violations alongside athletes and coaches."

It further added, "In addition, the center concurrently conducted on-site grievance counseling and human rights protection support activities to ensure that athletes can participate in competitions in a safe and respectful environment."

The center also noted, "In particular, an on-site situation room was established within the competition venues to enable immediate counseling and reporting in the event of human rights violations, and actively supported athletes and festival officials to receive prompt assistance on the ground."

Han Min-soo, acting director of the Sports Ethics Center Lee (President), said, "Above all, the safety of athletes and coaches on the ground is the top priority. Human rights violations are more likely to occur in sports environments where safety is not guaranteed. The center will continue to expand its on-site human rights protection activities to contribute to the creation of a healthy sports culture where all athletes can focus on their competitions with peace of mind."
