The Korea Sports Association announced on the 20th that it will conduct a public support survey for the selection of Korean sports heroes in 2024 until October 14.

Korean sports heroes are to select athletes or contributors who bring joy and hope to the people through sports and who have made outstanding achievements in the development of Korean sports. The KOC selects Korean sports heroes and hosts induction ceremonies every year.

In 2024, sports heroes received candidates from recommendation committee members, sports organizations, and reporters and selected △ Shim Kwon-ho (wrestling) △ Lee Hong-bok (cycle) △ Ha Hyung-joo (guided) as the final candidates.

In the future, Korean sports heroes will be finally selected by the Sports Hero Selection Committee after the results of the public support survey and the qualitative evaluation by the selection committee and the evaluation reporters. Sports heroes are inducted into the Korea Sports Hero Hall.

The 2024 Korea Sports Hero Public Support Survey is open to all citizens through the KOC's website until Oct. 14. Among the participants, 500 will be given a small gifticon through a lottery.

Meanwhile, the KOC has been selecting sports heroes since 2011.
