The four players selected for the national team are Lee Seonghee (captain), Park Seungcheol (vice-captain), Kim Younghoon and Kim Geonyeop. They will compete at the Asian Para Games in Japan from October 18 to 24, aiming to win medals.

Hanwha Vision's wheelchair rugby team represented Chungcheongbuk-do at the 46th National Para Games, held in Jeju last month, and won gold in the mixed wheelchair rugby Quad event. Quad is an event for athletes with impairments in the function of their arms and legs, and follows the same competition format as international events.

Hanwha Vision has directly employed and supported wheelchair rugby players since November 2024. The company pays them monthly salaries and separately covers the cost of sportswear and training equipment. With the addition of a new player this month, the team has grown to five members.

Lee Seonghee, captain of the national team, said, "The company's support allowed me to focus on training, and that led to winning gold at the National Para Games. I will give it my all at the Asian Para Games, with no regrets."

A Hanwha Vision representative said, "We applaud the players selected for the national team. We will continue to support them so they can perform at their best in a stable environment."
