2026 New Year’s Greeting: Korean Foot and Ankle Society
Dear Esteemed Members,

  Warm greetings to you all.

I'm Ki-Sun Sung and it is my great honor to serve as the President of the Korean Foot and Ankle Society for the year 2026. It has already been more than thirty years since our Society was founded. During this time, we have grown into an official member society of the Korean Academy of Medical Sciences and have firmly established ourselves as a premier subspecialty society within the Korean Orthopaedic Association.

Academically, our Society has consistently published high-quality research in renowned international journals, demonstrating excellence in both quantity and quality. Most notably, in 2024, we successfully hosted IFFAS 2024, the largest international conference in our field. I firmly believe that these remarkable achievements were made possible by the solid foundation laid by our respected senior members and the collective dedication of all our members.

The Year of the Red Horse has dawned, symbolizing passion, vitality, and significant transformation. While such a year can bring rapid changes and unforeseen challenges, I am confident that we can navigate them together.

Alongside our Secretary General, Dong-Il Chun, and all committee chairs, I will devote myself wholeheartedly to the continued growth of our Society. I kindly ask for your continued guidance, encouragement, and support.

I wish you all good health and every success in the New Year.

Sincerely,

Ki-Sun Sung, MD, PhD President, Korean Foot and Ankle Society
