"Easing Injury Concerns, Aiming for Victory"... Gijang Galmaegi Ssireum Team Signs Medical Agreement

Agreement with Gijang Top Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine Clinic


Support for Athlete Injury Management and Welfare Improvement

Gijang County (Governor Jeong Jongbok) announced on May 26 that the Gijang Galmaegi Ssireum Team signed a business agreement with Gijang Top Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine Clinic (Director Choi Hyogyun) on May 21 to promote the athletes' health and provide systematic injury management.

This agreement was established in consideration of the unique characteristics of ssireum athletes, who are engaged in intense physical contact and frequent use of the musculoskeletal system.

In particular, the agreement includes practical support measures such as partial discounts on medical fees based on the number of medical treatments received by the athletes. This is expected to help alleviate the team's medical expenses and improve their welfare.

Oh Heungmin, Coach of the Gijang Galmaegi Ssireum Team, stated, "Meticulous physical care is essential for athletes to perform at their best on the sand," adding, "I expect this agreement to greatly assist with the athletes' condition management and performance improvement."

The Gijang Galmaegi Ssireum Team will participate in the 2026 Boeun Dano Jangsa Ssireum Tournament, which will be held from June 8. The team is determined to compete for the national title, raise the profile of Gijang County, and achieve success based on enhanced health management and systematic preparation.
