New Year's speech

Dear billiards family!

The new year of 2022 has dawned.

I hope that the new year will be bright and hopeful, leaving behind the memories of COVID-19 that have made many people difficult.

Last year was a very difficult time.

Due to the prolonged COVID-19, industries around the world have suffered many ups and downs, and the professional sports industry including the PBA was no exception.

Despite the difficult circumstances, the PBA is having a successful third season, starting with a strong opening match at Gyeongju Blue One Resort.

In the team league, where NH Nonghyup Card and Huons newly joined, about 50 players are competing in 8 teams.

As the team league is now divided into the first half and second half leagues, players are showing higher concentration in the games.

PBA team league has become a dream stage that many billiard players envy both in name and in reality.

The PBA also set up a stable tour structure.

By establishing a perfect ascending system that leads to the 1st Tour, the Dream Tour (Part 2) and the Challenge Tour (Part 3), we have successfully established the gateway to becoming a professional athlete.

With each season, the interests of fans, media, and especially of sponsors, are growing.

Even in the COVID-19 situation, we have expanded the TV broadcasting and internet broadcasting platforms, and more fans are enjoying PBA, proving to the sports world PBA content’s effectivity on marketing.

All of these achievements would not have been possible without the help of all the people who believed in the PBA.

Billiards players, sponsors, association staffs, and fans, thank you.

In the new year, PBA will devote itself to a higher goal.

We will put more effort to concretize construction of a professional billiards-only stadium.

The PBA started its full-fledged activities by forming the <Exclusive Stadium Construction TF Team>.

We are working hard with the plan to confirm the site for an exclusive stadium in the first half of 2022.

I am sure that the dedicated stadium will become a cornerstone for taking PBA to the next level.

From the early days of its inception, the PBA advocated ‘participation of the players’.

We will further expand cooperation with the players who are the most heroes and heroines of the tour.

Recently, the PBA has created a meaningful place with the Professional Billiards Players' Association, in order to expand the base and successfully operate it, such as nurturing youth and revitalizing school sports, strengthening the status of billiard players, and cooperation in the operation of the 2nd and 3rd part tour.

We agreed to work closely together.

The PBA created with the players will be the most ideal.

We will strive to improve the quality of game content.

We will continue to innovate to make a more professional and professional game system.

We will introduce a video review system to ensure clear judgment and sophisticated game operation.

We will also focus on strengthening the expertise of referees and game management personnel in charge of the game.

We will continue to think about ways to cooperate with domestic and foreign billiards organizations.

PBA will not only pursue the success of professional billiards, but will also study ways to work together for the development of billiards with an open mind about cooperation with amateur billrs organizations.

In addition, we will spur overseas tours for global fans.

In preparation for the time when the barriers of COVID-19 are lifted, we will not neglect to prepare for a global tour that extends to the world.

I hope that an open era of interacting with fans will come with the full-scale implementation of <With Corona>.

We will do our best to become a PBA where fans can fully enjoy their presence at the games.

PBA will not only pursue the success of professional billiards, but will also study ways to work together for the development of billiards with an open mind about cooperation with amateur billiard organizations.
