Ahn Chang-ho, chairperson of the National Human Rights Commission of Korea, stated, "It is undesirable to restrict the use of facilities by generalizing pregnancy itself as a risk factor under the pretext of protecting pregnant women. It is necessary to establish reasonable criteria and procedures that consider individual circumstances so that unreasonable discrimination due to pregnancy does not occur in the course of operating sports facilities." The National Human Rights Commission of Korea announced that it judged the uniform restriction on the use of swimming pools based on the sole reason of being pregnant to be a discriminatory act without reasonable grounds, and recommended the president of OO University's OO Institute to establish measures to prevent recurrence.

Around August of last year, when the petitioner was seven weeks pregnant, she attempted to register for the swimming pool affiliated with OO University's OO Institute Sports Center, which she had been attending for about three years. However, upon noticing the pregnant woman badge attached to her bag, the staff and administration informed her that pregnant women could not take swimming lessons under internal regulations, subsequently canceling her registration, leading her to file a petition with the Commission. In response, the respondent institution explained that swimming lessons take place in a limited space with multiple participants, posing risks of safety accidents such as light collisions or slips, and that the cancellation was made considering the health of the pregnant member and fetus, as well as the safety of other members. However, the Discrimination Redress Committee of the Commission viewed that pregnancy is a natural and physiological state and individual health conditions vary, making it excessive to completely restrict swimming pool access by uniformly categorizing pregnant women as a high-risk group without specific reviews. It added that neither the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency guidelines nor the status of public swimming pools in other regions contain regulations restricting registration due to pregnancy.

The decision is evaluated as a progressive step in terms of resolving blind spots of human rights violations, as it warns against the practice of public and university sports facilities completely blocking access for certain groups under the pretext of user safety, and presents a human rights standard that pregnancy should be viewed as an individual health status rather than a pathological illness.

However, critics point out that for these recommendations by the Commission to lead to practical changes on the ground, practical guidelines and institutional safety nets must be meticulously prepared so that frontline sports facilities do not hide behind regulations meant to evade responsibility. Since facility operators bear heavy burdens regarding legal liability disputes in the event of potential safety accidents, a mere recommendation to lift uniform restrictions could lead to other forms of refusal or passive administration. Formulating a specific alternative standard manual—such as requiring a medical specialist's opinion, preparing user consent procedures, and introducing pregnancy-exclusive time slots or intensity-controlled programs—while updating the public liability insurance system for sports facilities is emerging as an urgent task to be resolved.
