Yoon Hong-geun, Chairman of the Genesis BBQ Group, presented encouragement funds to athletes competing in the Asian Games.

The Korea Sports Council received an encouragement fund of 100 million won from the Genesis BBQ Group on the 20th at the Jincheon National Team Village for the South Korean delegation competing in the 2026 Aichi·Nagoya Summer Asian Games.

The presentation ceremony took place ahead of the '2026 Aichi·Nagoya Summer Asian Games D-30 Media Day' held at the Jincheon National Team Village on that day, with officials including Yoo Seung-min, President of the Korea Sports Council, and Yoon Hong-geun, Chairman of the Genesis BBQ Group, in attendance.

The Genesis BBQ Group prepared this encouragement fund to support national team athletes who are focusing on their training ahead of the Aichi·Nagoya Asian Games scheduled for September and to cheer for their success.

Additionally, last July, the group continued its support for athletes by providing special meals to approximately 500 national team athletes and coaches preparing for the Asian Games at the Jincheon National Team Village.

Yoon Hong-geun, Chairman of the Genesis BBQ Group, said, "I hope that the efforts and sweat of the athletes preparing for the Han Min-guk-eul (CEO) Asian Games will bear good fruit," and added, "I will cheer for all athletes to finish the tournament without injury and to fully display their honed skills."

Yoo Seung-min, President of the Korea Sports Council, said, "We thank the Genesis BBQ Group and Mr. Yoon Hong-geun (Chairman) for this meaningful support for national team athletes ahead of the Asian Games," and added, "I hope this encouragement becomes a great source of strength for the athletes, and the Korea Sports Council will do its best to support tournament preparations and training so that athletes can demonstrate their peak performance."

The Korea Sports Council plans to continue providing various forms of support in the future to ensure national team athletes can train in a stable environment and display their best skills at international comprehensive tournaments.
