[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] Choi Hye-jin (22, Lotte), who has won the Grand Prize three consecutive times, has been selected as the promotional model for the Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA).


She was honored to be chosen for the 13th promotional model announced on the 22nd, marking her third consecutive selection since 2019. Also selected were Park Hyun-kyung (21, Korea Land & Trust), An Na-rin (25, Moonyoung Group), Yoo Hae-ran (20, SK Networks), Lee So-mi (22, SBI Savings Bank), Lee So-young (24, Lotte), Lim Hee-jung (21, Korea Land & Trust), Jang Ha-na (29, BC Card), Jo Ah-yeon (21, Dongbu Construction), Han Jin-seon (24, Kakao VX), and Hyun Se-rin (20, Daebang Construction). The KLPGA character ‘K’ will also serve as a promotional model.


The selection targeted 82 players holding regular tour cards for the 2021 season. The final selection was made based on various internal criteria following an online vote. Over 11,000 votes were counted during the two-week online voting period, setting a record for the highest number of votes ever. Choi Hye-jin expressed her thoughts, saying, "I think being chosen again means I should work even harder," and added, "I will do my best to show great performances to many fans."



Rookies from 2019, Park Hyun-kyung, Lim Hee-jung, and Jo Ah-yeon, along with all-time leading money winner Jang Ha-na, were selected for the second consecutive year. Last year's two-time champion An Na-rin, Rookie of the Year Yoo Hae-ran, Lee So-mi, Han Jin-seon, and Hyun Se-rin were selected for the first time, emerging as new faces. Lee So-young, a five-time champion, returned after two years. Promotional models participate in various tournament events as well as hosting and organizing events.
