[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] KB Financial Group announced on the 30th that it has signed a main sponsorship contract with professional golfer Lee Ye-won (18), a former national golf team member who debuted on the KLPGA (Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association) stage this year.

Lee Ye-won, who was part of the national reserve team in 2016 and selected as a national team member in 2018, drew significant attention by recording five wins that year alone. The following year, she consecutively won the international tournaments 'Naver's Trophy Championship 2019' and the 'Taiwan Women's Amateur International Title Tournament,' and also claimed top positions in domestic competitions such as the 'Hosim Cup' (2019) and the 'Bitgoeul Junghung Cup' (2020), establishing herself as a leading figure in Korean women's amateur golf.

A KB Financial Group official said, “Her greatest strengths are her diligence in completing even the toughest training schedules without fail and her positive attitude, marked by drawing smiley faces on her scorecards at every tournament.” The official added, “We will spare no effort in supporting her both materially and spiritually as she gains experience through the Jump and Dream Tour gateways and confidently enters the regular tour, growing into a player who represents Korea.”

Lee Ye-won expressed, “During my time as a national team member, whenever I participated in professional tournaments, I dreamed of competing wearing KB Financial Group's cap once I turned pro. I will do my best to repay the faith in my potential with good results.”

Meanwhile, KB Financial Group also sponsors top domestic and international golfers such as Park In-bee, Jeon In-ji, Ahn Song-yi, Oh Ji-hyun, and Jeon Ji-won.
