[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Chang-won] Kang Il-mo, CEO of KM Pharmaceutical (55), is gaining attention for his exceptional love of senior golf.


CEO Kang has served as the representative of the players' association for the 'KPGA Champions Tour,' a senior professional golf league for players aged 50 and above, providing various forms of support without hesitation.


In particular, from last year through this year, he partnered with KPGA to sponsor and host two Champions Tour tournaments annually, offering free breakfast at these events.


While actively participating in golf tournaments himself to promote the senior tour, CEO Kang also consistently considers the welfare of participating players to help them focus on their games.


He is dedicated to revitalizing the senior tour by creating competitive venues for forgotten golf stars to showcase their skills and pursue their dreams, supporting them both materially and spiritually.


Currently, KM Pharmaceutical supports KPGA Korean Tour players such as Park Sung-guk (34), Kim Min-jun (32), and Kim Geon-ha (30), as well as KPGA Champions Tour players including Park No-seok (55), Jeon Tae-hyun (55), and Park Young-soo (53).


On the 7th, he said, "The environment for senior professional golf, especially among male pro golfers, is very unfortunate. Though my contribution is small, I wanted to help, and as long as my health permits, I wish to support tournaments and continue playing as a competitor until I am 70."


Meanwhile, KM Pharmaceutical is a company specializing in oral care products for infants and young children, recently expanding its business into the cosmetics field, achieving sales of 22.7 billion KRW as of last year.
