[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist] ○... "Hotdog Food Truck Surprise Appearance."


On the 1st, at Adonis Golf Course in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province (Par 71, 6,480 yards), during the second round of the KLPGA Tour Hana Financial Group Championship (total prize money 1.5 billion KRW), an episode unfolded. Lydia Ko (New Zealand) named Myeongrang Hotdog as her favorite food without hesitation when asked at the official media day before the tournament. She said, "I can eat it all year round," and even expressed a desire to sign a sponsorship contract, sharing a candid comment.



Upon hearing this, Myeongrang Hotdog contacted the golf course expressing their wish to supply hotdogs free of charge to the players during the tournament. After discussions with the title sponsor Hana Financial Group, it was decided to use a food truck. Naturally, all food truck staff, including the cooks, underwent COVID-19 PCR testing and received negative results. Lydia Ko said with a big smile, "All players should thank me," adding, "I will eat a lot of Tongmozza (the signature menu with mozzarella cheese instead of sausage)."
