Abstract
The professional athletic contract was interpreted as a kind of non-employment contracts in 1983, the first year of professional sport industry in Korea. It was defined literally as a kind of subcontract and is still on the same understanding of subcontract. It means the professional athlete contract is a subject of the Obligation of Safety Consideration Act in Korea. Nevertheless, the answer would be very negative against a doubt that the professional sport industry in Korea is fulfilling the Obligation of Safety Consideration Act because the negligence accident in the professional sport industry is consistently occurring in Korea. With this reason, the study aims to research the history of the professional athlete contract as a subcontract in Korea and investigates how to apply the Obligation of Safety Consideration to the professional sport industry in Korea. Another purpose of this research is to propose several alternatives against the weak points legally in the view of safety management or risk management for professional sports business in Korea.
