I would like to express my sincere greetings on behalf of the 29th Society of Korea Executive Board, wishing the members health and achievement. Although it is regrettable that I could not greet you directly at the general meeting while taking office due to the difficult environment due to COVID-19, I would like to express my gratitude to my senior and junior members for their encouragement and advice through various channels. We will do our best for you.

Although our society has established itself as a major society in the field of otolaryngology, hearing and linguistics through a history of nearly 60 years since its establishment, and is developing year after year, our potential capabilities are not yet fully bloomed, so Participation and cooperation are required. In particular, our conference hosted the World Congress of Audiology in 2026, the largest among auditory-related conferences, to show our capabilities to the world and provide an opportunity for the conference to develop significantly. There is a need to strengthen competencies and discover hidden talents. To this end, efforts within our society as well as cooperation with various related societies scattered throughout Korea are urgently needed. It is necessary to secure the status as a representative society recognized and trusted not only by experts but also by all the Korean people, at least in the field of hearing, by clearly establishing the aspect of the society internally and demonstrating public credibility externally. , we would like to lead the Society with the mindset of laying the foundation for this. From now on, we will try to build the foundation of the society and build a solid organization and appearance on that foundation by implementing small things step by step. I will come I would like to replace my determination and gratitude by asking for generous encouragement, cooperation, and stinging advice for the dedication and service of our executives, who will be entrusted with the authority of the members toward the mission and vision of the Society.

Thank you.
