[The Korea Economic Daily] GOLFZON, the Driving Force Behind the Popularization of Golf!

The Korea Economic Daily introduced GOLFZON as a representative company of Yuseong-gu in Daejeon, reporting that GOLFZON, founded in 2000 in Doryong-dong, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, has grown into a leading force behind the popularization of screen golf. In 2015, the company expanded its business into various fields such as golf course operation, golf equipment distribution, and entertainment, and was newly launched as a subsidiary of GOLFZON Yuwon Group. The newspaper noted that Yuseong-gu’s robust scientific infrastructure, including the Daedeok Research and Development Special Zone and KAIST, has underpinned GOLFZON’s technology-driven growth.

The Korea Economic Daily reported that, in addition to GOLFZON, Yuseong-gu is a region that has produced a wide range of companies and talented individuals, including Jinmi Food, a fermented sauce specialist founded in 1948 and now in its third generation, KAIST Professor Oh Jun-ho—known as the “father of HUBO”—and Professor Park Hee-seong, a leading scholar in cancer and dementia research.

The Korea Economic Daily reported that Yuseong-gu in Daejeon, where companies and talent rooted in science and technology are clustered, is establishing itself both as a stage for GOLFZON’s growth and as an important hub of Korea’s science and technology industry.
