What has motivated you to make this contribution to KAASM? 

I am passionate believer in equal educational opportunity for every student, regardless of income level and social status. I hate to see students suffer any disadvantages due to financial difficulty. 

This commitment is focused on Korean graduate students. Please tell us the characteristics of a student who would fit well for this award. 

A graduate student who studies in Korea. Clear purpose outlining why he or she wants to come to NASSM and present his/her work.

 

You received the NASSM Research Fellow for the first time as a Korean scholar and have made significant contributions to the field. What advice do you have for Korean graduate students pursuing their academic career in sport management? 

Believe you will be better tomorrow than today. Keep working hard and never give up!

 

KAASM is progressing towards a more vibrant and established organization. What should KAASM start thinking about to prepare for the future? 

I believe the primary purpose of KAASM should be helping students, which includes financial support for conference participation. I am grateful and humble to be part of that endeavor.
