[ChosunBiz] Screen Golf: “25,000 Jobs Created Nationwide — A Job-Creation Jackpot”

ChosunBiz reported that the GOLFZON NEWDIN Group has created approximately 25,000 jobs nationwide through the development of screen golf. With an average of five employees working at each of the roughly 4,800 stores across the country, the report noted that the job-creation effect is even greater when the stores of screen golf operators similar to GOLFZON are included. It added that GOLFZON, which started in 2000 with just five employees, grew within 17 years into a company with KRW 430 billion in revenue and 1,047 employees.

ChosunBiz reported that, following screen golf, the GOLFZON NEWDIN Group is expanding its business into areas such as screen baseball, screen fishing, virtual kids’ cafes, and healing cafes, creating new jobs in the process. The report noted that the group’s total R&D workforce stands at 222 people and that it invested about KRW 36 billion—8.3% of last year’s revenue—in R&D, while also accelerating its overseas expansion by opening a screen baseball venue in Taiwan.

ChosunBiz reported that Chairman Kim Young-chan said, “Creating many jobs is also a great source of pride for me as a business leader,” expressing his commitment to growing together with both employees and franchise customers, and conveyed that the GOLFZON NEWDIN Group is pioneering a new screen leisure market while simultaneously pursuing job creation and industry diversification.
