The commemorative project recently held a board meeting and appointed Kim Soo-in, a graduate of Kyungnam High School and Korea University, as the first chairman.
Chairman Kim Soo-in is Choi Dong-won's four-year senior at Kyungnam High School and is a sports columnist who was a journalist. He is currently serving as a director of the Korea Sports Press Association and a standing advisor to the Korea Entertainment Sports Association.
The commemorative business meeting will be held in Seoul in April after completing the formation of a sponsorship meeting and an executive organization. The support group will help financially promote the spirit of Choi Dong-won's fighting spirit, dedication, sacrifice, and challenge.
As various projects are being prepared, including the new head of this year's statue Choi Dong-won, the Memorial Concert for Choi Dong-won to be held around the 14th anniversary of the September 14th anniversary, and the launch of the youth baseball team of Choi Dong-won's baseball class, a sponsorship meeting is needed to help them.
In particular, in the case of the youth baseball team, the Choi Dong-won Children's Baseball Class, which has been operated for free for 11 years to raise the second Choi Dong-won Kids, will be re-launched as the "Choi Dong-won Busan Little Baseball Team" from next year. To this end, Kim Chung-hyun, CEO of Unknow Co., Ltd., who was from Gyeonggi High School and the same generation and was from the broadcasting industry, was appointed as the chairman of Choi Dong-won Youth Baseball Team.
(G)The Choi Dong-won Commemoration Project began in September 2011 to commemorate the achievements of the late Choi Dong-won, who died. It was launched as a pan-citizen countermeasure committee to build the Choi Dong-won Baseball Museum in honor of Choi Dong-won, a baseball hero born in Busan. On August 1, 2012, a lot of efforts have been made to the Ko Choi Dong-won Memorial Association.
