The company has established a customer base that spans across Gyeonggi Province and Seoul. Building on this foundation, DT Networks plans to further strengthen its regionally focused marketing by collaborating with KT Wiz, Gyeonggi Province's only professional baseball team, and enhance brand engagement in the local community.
Under this sponsorship, DT Networks will run third-base dugout advertisements, in-stadium LED board ads, and a dedicated BYD skybox at every KT Wiz home game in 2026. In addition, through a BYD pop-up store and brand day events at KT Wiz Park, various programs will be offered so that baseball fans and customers can naturally engage with the brand, fostering participatory marketing.
These activities are in line with BYD's global sports marketing strategy. BYD has raised its brand awareness through partnerships with world-renowned clubs such as Manchester City and Inter Milan, and in this context, DT Networks is also introducing the brand more familiarly to domestic audiences by leveraging professional baseball in Korea.
Hyukmin Kwon, CEO of DT Networks, said, "It is very meaningful to partner with KT Wiz, the pride of Suwon and Gyeonggi Province." He continued, "We look forward to sharing the moments of KT Wiz's victories with local fans and providing an opportunity to share the brand values that BYD pursues." He added, "Going forward, we will continue to widen the opportunities for customers to naturally encounter our brand in their everyday lives and strengthen our differentiated customer services."
