"I will continue my responsibility with confidence so that I can repay you with a victory."

Noh Seung-hee (25, Li Ju-ran), who met a new sponsor, expressed her confident ambition to play in the opening game of the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour.

Noh Seung-hee participated in the media day ahead of the 2026 KLPGA Tour's opening 'Rejuran Championship (total prize money of 1.2 billion won and winning prize money of 216 million won), which will be held at Amata Spring Country Club (par 72, 6,552 yards in preliminary, 6,609 yards) in Chonburi, Thailand for four days from the 12th to the 15th.

Noh Seung-hee joined the PharmaResearch Golf Club in January along with Li Shu-ying, Hwang Yu-na, Gil Ye-ram and Kim Ha-eun 2. In particular, Noh Seung-hee, who has won three games in his career, is expected to play a practical ace leading "Team Li Ju-ran."

PharmaResearch, which owns a global beauty brand, Lijuran, is a pharmaceutical and bio company that manufactures and sells regenerative medicine-based medicines, medical devices, cosmetics, and health functional foods, and is growing in the domestic and international markets of the K-bio sector.

PharmaResearch, which has taken the lead in fostering new players by establishing a golf team in 2023, has contributed to the development of Korean women's golf, including the Dream Tour King of Kings, and will hold the KLPGA regular tour for the first time through the 'Lijuran Championship'.

Noh Seung-hee will welcome her first competition after joining as a sponsor competition. Noh Seung-hee said, "I'm going to be with my new sponsor, Li Ju-ran, starting this season. I feel excited and responsible to start the first competition of the season with the main sponsor competition. I will continue my responsibility with confidence so that I can repay you with a victory," he said.

Li Shuying also said, "It's my first time participating in a competition held in Main Sponsor. He is working with joy and excitement. As much as I prepared hard, I hope the results will come out," he said.

Park Hyun-kyung said, "The word 'opening exhibition' is an exciting word. I think the opening game is a competition to evaluate myself for what I supplemented and prepared for during the winter. I think I filled up a lot of my shortcomings during winter training. "If we perform as well as we have prepared, we will have good results," he expressed his expectation.

Natakrita Wongtawirab, who will play in the tournament as a member of Thailand, said, "I'm honored to attend this KLPGA opening game and I have a goal to step up in Asia this year, and I'm grateful to have a new opportunity."

This tournament is expected to be a big variable due to strong winds and the 17th hole, an Irish hole. Park Hyun-kyung said, "Yesterday and today, I experienced this golf course for the first time, and it was very windy. Still, the wind doesn't turn and blows in one direction. The amount of wind varies from hole to hole and there is a lot of wind in a specific hole, so you have to make different targets for each hole. Rather than thinking of beating the wind, I will use it to target it," he said.

Noh Seung-hee said, "The wind blows in one direction, and in the hole where the green side is open, the wind burns a lot, and in the other hole, it burns less. So if you check the wind well in each hole and burn the wind well to target it, it will lead to good results," he said with confidence.

He also made various attacks on the 17th hole. Park Hyun-kyung said, "I've seen a lot of signature holes in Hole 17 even before I came across this course, and it's a wonderful hole to see in person. "It's one of the best courses I've ever experienced, but it's not an easy hole," he said. "This hole should aim not to lose the number of strokes rather than the idea of catching birdies. I will play with care to make him play on-green for four days," he said.

"It's really exotic," Li Shue-ying said. As much as it is Ireland, I feel the wind, so I think it will be most important to check the wind well for four days and move on without losing the score with stable play.

As it is the opening game, he also revealed his goals for this season. Noh Seung-hee said, "This is my first time participating in the main sponsor competition. "My first goal this year is to win the main sponsor competition, and I want to win as many as possible even if there are some ups and downs this year," he said. "After winning my first championship last year, I received a lot of support from this year with Li Ju-ran, and I think I should work harder." I will make sure that I can repay you by winning again this year," he said.

Park Hyun-kyung said, "I've always said that the goal is the target so far, but the target is of course the target, but the closest goal is 10 wins in total. I want to add two wins and reach the 10th rank in my career," he said. "I think I prepared well with that goal in mind. Also, I hope the dream of winning the opening game comes true because winning the opening game is everyone's dream," he said.
