CEO’s Message
- Beyond Olympic Legacy, Becoming Global Value
-
KSPO makes good use of the Olympic stadiums and other facilities from the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Olympic Park is a precious green space in which the natural world can be enjoyed by the surrounding urban communities.
In the stadiums and other buildings, a wide variety of cultural activities take place, including K-pop concerts and other performing arts. And through several museums, we keep the Olympic Spirit alive, by passing on the values of the Olympic Games, and the history of sports, to subsequent generations.
The 1988 Seoul Olympic Legacy
Tangible and intangible long-term benefits for people, cities, and countries after the Olympics
The 1988 Seoul Olympic Legacy Vision
It refers to the KSPO’s desire to diffuse the vital tangible and intangible values of the Seoul Olympic Legacy to future generations and the entire world, rather than having it stick to the past, history, or Korea.
Present of the Seoul Olympic Legacy
The KSPO has managed and developed the tangible legacy of the Seoul Olympic Games, including the Olympic Park, for the past 30 years and has been recognized for creating the most exemplary Olympic legacy by the IOC. Furthermore, the KSPO raised KRW 21 trillion (USD 21.594 billion) based on the surplus funds of the Seoul Olympics amounting to KRW 311 billion (USD 320 million) for the National Sports Promotion Fund by 2021 through the revenues earned by leasing the Olympic Stadium, etc. and has promoted public health and the development of Korean sports with KRW 15 trillion.
