Reflecting on the team's success, Kang Ee-seong shared, "Last year I dealt with injuries, but thanks to the stable support, I could focus on rehabilitation and achieve these great results this year. I'm truly happy."

It's worth noting that the Netmarble Culture Foundation established its rowing team back in 2019, a first for the Korean games industry. The initiative aims to foster para-sports, provide long-term support for independence, and broaden social participation and rights protection for individuals with disabilities. Since its inception, the team has consistently achieved excellent results, including a haul of 12 medals at the 45th National Para Games last November.
