Professional basketball team Seoul Samsung and Jeil Orthopedic Hospital will continue their partnership for a ninth consecutive season.

Samsung announced on the 12th that it "signed an official sponsorship contract with Jeil Orthopedic Hospital for the 2026~2027 season."

The two parties first established their agreement in the 2018~2019 season. Through this contract, Jeil Orthopedic Hospital will operate in-arena advertising and fan participation events this season as well, and support player health management and injury response as the team's official medical team.

This season, Samsung moved its home venue from Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium to Jamsil Student Gymnasium. In line with this change, Jeil Orthopedic Hospital is displaying LED advertising in the center of the first floor and banner advertising in the second-floor spectator seating at Jamsil Student Gymnasium.

During timeouts, a health event called 'WARM UP TIME!' where spectators directly participate is held. It combines stretching to release muscles frequently used in daily life with dance movements. Spectators can follow simple movements to music from their seats.

The official medical team includes Jo Nam-soo and Lee Jung-hyun, directors of the K-Joint Center at Jeil Orthopedic Hospital, and Park Chan-deok, director of the Spine Center. Director Jo Nam-soo is in charge of shoulders and elbows, Director Lee Jung-hyun handles hand, knee, and ankle joints, and Director Park Chan-deok oversees the spine field, including the cervical spine.

Samsung explained that "the medical team resides at home game venues to respond swiftly to player injuries and check their health status," adding that it "provides consultations necessary for treatment and plans to continue medical support for injury recovery and musculoskeletal function improvement during the off-season."

Shin Gyu-cheol, president of Jeil Orthopedic Hospital, said, "I find it meaningful to continue our cooperative relationship with the Samsung basketball team for a ninth season. Since player health is an important element supporting stable game activities, we will support the team's health management and injury recovery based on the expertise of our medical staff."

He added, "Going forward, we will strive to deliver healthy value to both players and fans through continuous cooperation with sports venues."
