KSPO Discusses How to Conduct Greater Innovation through Workshop

Korea Sports Promotion Foundation (KSPO) hosted the “KSPO Autonomous Innovation and Future Development Workshop,” designed to cope with inside and outside calls for innovation of public entities.

During the workshop, KSPO Chairman Cho Hyun-jae called for securing fiscal soundness, raising organization and personnel management efficiency, overhauling non-essential functions, ramping up support to the private sector’s growth and working out dramatic and preemptive ways of promoting innovation in public communication and organizational innovation capability sectors.

KSPO decided to raise profitability by overhauling sports voting rights, cycling and rowing business structure, and retrenching expenditures by diagnosing and overhauling commissioned management projects.

KSPO will also create new revenues using Olympic Park facilities in order to secure financial soundness.

KSPO Reveals Sound Source of ‘KSPO Gymnastics’ Lofi Remake

Producer OVN has remade “KSPO Gymnastics” into a “MZ generation labor music Lofi.” Korea Sports Promotion Foundation unveiled the mini-album containing three musical pieces of KOSPO Gymnastics and a recapped version.

“KSPO Gymnastics Lo-fi (OVN Remix)” posted on the YouTube gained 7.25 million video views.
