Official Save Race 2026 kits feature recycled nylon and polyester yarns across shirts, windbreakers, bags and running belts, building on the use of Hyosung TNC's regen™ in SMTOWN RUN CLUB 26 race shirts.

SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SM Entertainment artists and runners wore the same race shirts at SMTOWN RUN CLUB 26, a running event organized by SM Entertainment, one of South Korea's leading entertainment companies and a major force in the K-pop industry. Now, Hyosung TNC, the global textile materials company behind the yarns used in those shirts, has supplied the official running kits for another race in Seoul. Save Race 2026, a 10km charity run co-organized by KakaoBank and the Korean Committee for UNICEF on November 7, featured official running kits made with Hyosung TNC's recycled yarn brand, regen™.

Earlier in October, Hyosung TNC sponsored SMTOWN RUN CLUB 26, organized by SM Entertainment, supplying regen™ ASKIN recycled polyester yarn for the official race shirts worn by both SM Entertainment artists and participating runners. regen™ ASKIN is a recycled polyester yarn offering contact cooling, moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties, as well as UV protection. At Save Race 2026, a charity run combining environmental awareness and charitable giving, all participation fees were dedicated to supporting children affected by the climate crisis, with Hyosung TNC serving as an official partner.

A participant in Save Race 2026 who has taken part in several running events said, "Knowing that the race shirt was made from recycled yarn made me feel that simply wearing it while running was another way of supporting the event's purpose."

Recycled yarns are produced by reprocessing discarded PET bottles, fishing nets and manufacturing byproducts into new fibers. Hyosung TNC's regen™ is a recycled yarn brand encompassing recycled polyester, nylon and spandex, supplied to global sportswear and fashion brands.
