Kim Byung-ji, CEO of Gangwon FC (hereafter referred to as Gangwon), emphasized the importance of grades. This is because of the correlation between performance and audience.
On the 9th, a meeting with CEO Kim was held at Chuncheon Songam Sports Town located in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do. Representative Kim, who was active as a member of the Korean national soccer team from 1995 to 2002, later served as a technical subcommittee and vice-president of the Korea Football Association (KFA), and is currently in charge of Gangwon representative and Kim Byeong-ji, chairman of the Sports Culture Promotion Agency.
CEO Kim put a great deal of emphasis on team composition and improving performance. It was a big picture to achieve an increase in the audience through this process.
“The biggest change is that we need to prepare for an increase in the foreigner quota. Currently, there are two foreigner quotas left. There are budget issues, but we are focused on stabilizing the team. It is also necessary. If Yang Hyun-joon scores more than two goals in each game, an average of 5,000 spectators will come. I hope more spectators come than last season. First of all, I believe that the increase in spectators goes hand in hand with performance.” 안전놀이터
CEO Kim pointed out ‘grade’ as the basic of the basics among various methods of attracting customers. He believed that if the squad was configured to the maximum in the possible range and the performance that appeared there set the mood in the early stages, the audience could be increased. This is because they expected the performance of a star player like Yang Hyun-jun.
Gangwon’s goal for the 2023 season will be raised step by step. The first round is to advance to the K League 1 Final Round A. After that, I plan to reset the target. Representative Kim expressed his ‘infinite trust’ towards Gangwon FC coach Choi Yong-soo, and showed his will to achieve what he envisioned through stabilizing the squad.
Attention is focusing on how much income Gangwon in the 2023 season, which is trying to pursue development through grades, will be able to earn.
