On the afternoon of the 6th, Mayor Lee made this announcement at the 'SERI PAK with Yongin' project briefing held in the city hall video conference room, attended by Co-CEO Pak, Kim Hee-jung, Superintendent of Yongin Office of Education, and about 20 others.

This project involves Baz International, co-led by former coach Pak, establishing sports and cultural arts facilities in a three-story neighborhood living facility with a total floor area of 1,737㎡ within the old Yongin Sports Complex in Mapyeong-dong 704, Cheoin-gu. Previously, the city and Baz International signed a consignment contract for this purpose in November last year.

At the briefing, the company announced plans to operate programs such as nurturing golf prodigies, hosting seminars with distinguished guests, holding exhibitions, and providing sports programs using augmented reality (AR) at the facility, which is expected to open as early as the end of next month.

In particular, the company plans to run various collaborative programs with the local community, including a long-term vision to discover and systematically nurture promising golf talents in cooperation with local schools, Seri Kids Golf Camps for children and youth, book talk concerts for residents, advanced lectures by intellectuals in various fields, and flea markets in partnership with local small business owners.

Co-CEO Pak said, "After retirement, I have worked for several years to realize a dream I have held in my heart for a long time, and now I am taking the first step. With the help of Yongin City, once 'SERI PAK with Yongin' opens, I will provide various programs I have prepared well for children, youth, and citizens."

Mayor Lee stated, "'SERI PAK with Yongin' will offer rich programs in sports and cultural arts to bring great joy to citizens and contribute to raising the prestige of Yongin, and the city will actively support this effort."
