It will present an immersive broadcast that allows you to feel the beauty of curling as it is. In addition, special equipment in the stadium will be increased to capture the tension and dynamic movement of the field more realistically.
An official from the Korea Curling Federation said "The level of curling in Korea is getting higher and higher. This Super League will be a stage where you can see both the players' skills and the fans' passion. We look forward to a new future of curling that will take off with KB Financial Group.
An official from KB Financial said, `Curling is a sport in which not only the individual player's skills but also the tenacity and teamwork that do not give up until the last minute are the key. It is also in line with KB Financial's philosophy of doing its best to grow with customers by bringing the entire group's capabilities together. In the future, KB Finance will continue to increase the future potential of K-sports and deliver healthy energy to the people based on generous support for basic and unpopular sports events.
