The Korea Sports Council (Chairman Yoo Seung-min) signed a memorandum of understanding on the 10th with Belive Sewoong Hospital to provide medical service support for national team athletes, coaches, and council staff.

The ceremony was held at 1 p.m. that day in the administrative building of the Jincheon National Training Center, attended by Kim Tae-soo, Director of the National Training Center; Kim Jung-min, Head of the Management Planning Division at Belive Sewoong Hospital; and other officials from both institutions.

The Korea Sports Council described Belive Sewoong Hospital as "a general hospital located in Dongnae-gu, Busan Metropolitan City, operating 16 medical departments and a sports rehabilitation center." It added, "In particular, it operates as an officially designated partner hospital for the professional baseball team Lotte Giants and has been recognized for its expertise in sports medicine. Designated as a regional emergency medical institution starting November 2026, it operates an emergency room 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, establishing itself as a trusted local medical facility."

Under this agreement, Belive Sewoong Hospital will provide medical service support to national team athletes, coaches, and Korea Sports Council staff as a partner hospital of the council.

In particular, by providing systematic medical support services, including rapid treatment coordination through dedicated coordinators, it is expected to underpin the health management and smooth training of national team athletes.

National Training Center Director Kim Tae-soo stated, "It is very reassuring that Belive Sewoong Hospital, which possesses excellent medical capabilities, has been added as a partner hospital in the Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam regions, where medical support infrastructure had been relatively lacking." He continued, "We look forward to building a close cooperative framework so that national team athletes training outside the training center can also receive prompt and smooth treatment."
