On this day, Village Director Kim Taek-soo visited the rugby training ground and Welcome Center within the National Athlete Village to inspect the management status of facilities and the safety management system. He also focused on checking past damage areas and the maintenance status of drainage channels in preparation for summer typhoons and floods, while examining on-site response measures to prevent safety accidents.

We are also comprehensively inspecting risk factors in various fields such as construction, electricity, fire safety, and gas to prevent safety accidents and improve safety management levels."

Village Director Kim Taek-soo stated, "We are making every effort to ensure facility safety and living environment management so that athletes preparing for upcoming international tournaments such as the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games can train with peace of mind. Going forward, we will do our best to create an athlete village environment where athletes can focus solely on training through continuous safety inspections and improvements of risk factors."
