The Seoul Metropolitan Government has announced that five young veterans from the city’s counseling center for wounded veterans will be part of Korea’s 11-member team for the 2027 Invictus Games. The Invictus Games, founded by Britain’s Prince Harry in 2014, is an international multisport event for service members and veterans who have been wounded, injured, or became ill during military service.
The five selected individuals include two members of the center’s peer support group, a former head of operations at the center, and two current staff members. All of the athletes were injured while serving in the military and have since recovered through rehabilitation and sports. One of the athletes, a former Army aircraft maintenance noncommissioned officer, suffered a partial paralysis of both legs after a four-story fall in 2008 and has since taken up para rowing.
