The Yuwon Golf Foundation Hope Tree Scholarship Program provides approximately 12 million won in scholarships over one year to promising young golfers who have won at least four nationwide tournaments within a year. Kim Seoah, age 13, who was selected as a Hope Tree scholarship recipient this year, achieved eight victories in national competitions last year, including the 12th Golfzon MBN Dream Tree Championship and the 16th Pak Se Ri National Elementary School Tournament. She is currently a member of the preliminary squad for the Korea Golf Association Junior National Team.

Kim Seoah finished as the runner-up in the 9th Bear Creek Amateur Championship last July, and at the end of this month, she will compete as an invited player in the 25th Hite Jinro Championship on the Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour. Kim Seoah said, "Thank you for believing in my potential and supporting me," adding, "I will continue to do my best so that I can become a golfer like my role model, Lydia Ko of New Zealand."

The Yuwon Golf Foundation plans to continue supporting young golf talents. Together with Golfzon Holdings, Golfzon, and Golfzon Commerce, the foundation will carry out various sharing activities based on the group’s social contribution program, 'Swing Your Dream.' Kim Youngchan, Chairman of the Yuwon Golf Foundation, stated, "We will spare no effort in providing full support to create a foundation where players with potential can continue to take on new challenges."
