On the 24th, the Korea Cycling Federation held a ceremony in the Taein conference room in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, to appoint actor Jin Seon-kyu as its official ambassador.
Jin Seon-kyu noted, "Cycling, which I started for health, has now become a great joy in my life," and added, "Recently, my son 'Jin Gyeok-gun' has also been enjoying BMX cycling, so our whole family is gaining vitality through cycling." He expressed, "If I hadn’t become an actor, I think I would have become a sportsman," and added, "I am glad to be able to support cyclists and contribute even a little to this field."
Chairman Lee Sang-hyun said, "I expect that actor Jin Seon-kyu, who has a passion for cycling and a positive influence, will greatly contribute to the popularization of cycling," and added, "I will work with Ambassador Jin Seon-kyu, who continuously shows exquisite acting to the public, to expand the base of cycling, and to ensure cycling establishes itself as a national sport."
Since the appointment of Chairman Lee Sang-hyun in February, the Korea Cycling Federation has formed a new executive team composed of experts from various fields and is engaging in various activities to become a clean and respected organization that serves the community.
Especially, Chairman Lee Sang-hyun, who is leading the spread of a clean cycling culture, emphasized, "I will not fear change and challenges toward a new future for cycling."
In the future, the Korea Cycling Federation will carry out various campaigns and activities to improve public health through the popularization of cycling in collaboration with Ambassador Jin Seon-kyu.
