The '2025 Perfect Korea 3rd Competition and the Phoenix Cup 2nd Competition' were held in hot heat at the Kirin Gymnasium in Daegu Oriental Medical University in Gyeongsan on the 18th.

Hosted by the Korea Soft Darts Association (Chairman Bang Jun-sik), a total of 501 people, including 93 professional players and 408 amateur players, participated in the competition for the total prize money of 130 million won, and held a fiery race from start to finish.




In the Perfect Korea final, where professional players participated, traditional powerhouse Seo Byung-soo (Trinidad) beat Han Woong-hee (Dynamisty), the winner of this season's first tournament, to announce 'The Return of the King'.

Seo Byung-soo, who has been in a slump due to shoulder pain since the second half of last year, did not fully return from his injury, but he repaid his fans' faith with tenacity and skill. Seo Byung-soo, who shed tears of emotion after confirming the championship with the last throw, said, `I'm not in perfect condition yet, but I'm recovering.' `The goal is to always be at the top of the perfect ranking. I will build up my points and make sure to return." An Chi-yong (Bulls Fighter) took third place after Seo Byeong-soo and Han Woong-hee.

Meanwhile, Kim Min-ji (Hera Division) and Han Hye-in (Athena Division) won the Ladies Tournament, which was promoted to a regular tournament this year.

The Gyeongsan competition was the first dart festival held in Gyeongsangbuk-do, adding to its significance. It was a festival of friendship that was constantly encouraged and cheered due to the nature of soft darts that emphasized friendship and harmony as well as fierce competition. A variety of giveaway events and bonus matches were also accompanied to heighten the festive atmosphere.

The Phoenix Cup, which held its third tournament and the second tournament, will continue its powerful relay through Jeonju (September) and Goyang (December).




The competition was officially sponsored by Phoenix Dart, a global brand that serves online electronic darts games to overseas markets.
