Dear fellow members of the Korean Foot & Ankle Society.

  Since its establishment in 1991, our society has achieved remarkable growth, thanks to the dedication and sacrifices of our 24 past presidents and all our esteemed members. Today, we are proud to have grown to 640 members, reflecting not only our quantitative expansion but also our qualitative advancement, as evidenced by hosting the 2024 International Federation of Foot & Ankle Societies (IFFAS) Congress.

  As I assume the role of President in 2025, I pledge to uphold our society's rich traditions and strive for further development, despite the challenges currently facing the medical community.

  Together with the invaluable contributions of our council members, including our General Secretary, committee chairs, secretaries, and committee members, we plan to pursue both short- and long-term initiatives. These include updating the society’s name and logo, creating commemorative items, establishing an international membership category, improving our mobile website, and developing academic symposiums.

  Above all, I am committed to fostering camaraderie and academic progress among all members through the activities of our society.

I kindly ask for your active participation and cooperation in these endeavors.
Thank you.

January 2025 Jin-Hwa Chung
President, Korean Foot and Ankle Society (KFAS)
