Vietnam War veteran Lee In-jung donates 10 million won to military athletes for second year

Lee In-jung, chairman of the Asia Mountain Federation and a veteran of the Vietnam War, has once again demonstrated his commitment to supporting military athletes by donating 10 million won to the Armed Forces Sports Division. This marks the second consecutive year he has made such a contribution.

The donation underscores Lee's dedication to both sports and national service. His son, Lee Sang-hyun, who also actively participates in the sports community as the chairman of the Korea Cycling Federation and a supervisor for the Korean delegation at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, delivered the funds to the Armed Forces Sports Division. This act highlights a family legacy of supporting athletic endeavors.

Lee's gesture is particularly meaningful as it aims to bolster the resources available for military athletes. The funds are intended to aid these individuals in their training and development, ensuring they have the necessary support to excel in their respective sports while serving in the military.
