Why is game company WeMade serious about holding tennis and golf tournaments?

'blockchain, now over coats and greens'
First-generation game company WeMade is well known as a leader who reads and leads the market trend by developing mobile games and successful services early ahead of the popularization of smartphones, after pioneering the overseas game market centered on China for the first time in Korea with the 'Mir' IP. In this sense, it is a natural move to be the fastest and most active among domestic game companies, such as blockchain game development, ecosystem construction, and virtual currency Wimix issuance.
Although P2E game services are still not possible in Korea and the virtual asset market cycle has recently declined, volatility and uncertainty remain, WeMade is steadily developing its business with confidence that the blockchain ecosystem will become a trend someday. This is why WeMade continues to host events combined with sports so that you can experience blockchain technology in your daily life.
WeMade successfully completed the National Amateur Tennis Tournament 'WiMix Open 2025' last month. The Wymix Open, held for the second time since last year, is a national amateur tennis tournament with the slogan of 'Start of Rallying for a Better World', and is characterized by using 'Wymade's blockchain-based transparent society platform, 'Wymix Open'.
A total of 236 teams and 1,462 tennis clubs from all over the country participated to determine the final winning team on October 26 after a three-month schedule. In particular, in order to establish itself as a venue for realizing social values through blockchain beyond simple sports competitions, last year's competition paid sponsorship subsidies equal to the prize money, allowing participants to donate directly to various social contribution projects within WePublic. This year, it also donated part of the participation fee to sponsorship projects, helping to spread a transparent donation culture using blockchain.
Following tennis, WeMade held the KLPGA Tour Super Final Event 'Wimix Championship 2025' at Mauna Ocean C.C. in Gyeongju from the 15th to the 16th.
Hong Jung-min, the top 24 female golf players in the KLPGA, won this season's prize money rankings after fierce competition with a total of 22,000 galleries gathered for two days for a total prize money of 1 billion won. Hong Jung-min said, "For the players, the WMIX Championship is like a Korean Series of Golf, and I'm so happy to win here." "Thanks to the fans' support, it was two days where we had a lot of fun and received great energy," he said.
The Wymix Championship, which started in 2023 and marks its third anniversary this year, is also expanding the participation experience of golf fans by incorporating blockchain technology. In 2023, tickets were issued in the form of NFTs, implementing them as digital assets worth collecting, not just a means of entry, and last year, through WePublic, it introduced programs that allow fans to participate directly, including funding for player's cherished items and a campaign to clean up the environment of the venue.
This year, on the first day of the competition, 24 promising golf players joined hands with the player at Hole 1 Teasing Ground through the `WeCham Kids' program, creating a meaningful scene. Children wore caddie bibs with their names engraved on them and became `little caddies' and experienced tension and excitement firsthand in the same space as the KLPGA Tour's top rankers.
In addition, except for VIP protocol, award helpers, and water ceremony performances that were common at existing domestic golf competitions, only 24 players and caddies who spent the season on the stage were standing on the stage, and fans enjoyed breathing with players close to the stage until the end.
A WeMade official said "In order to popularize blockchain technology, we are expanding our application to areas close to life such as sports."We will continue to create an environment where you can experience blockchain naturally and easily in your daily life."
