The representative faces of the Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour made an unconventional victory pledge to capture the hearts of fans.

The 12 members of the 18th KLPGA promotion model raised expectations for the new season with unique promises of their own colors at the "2026 KLPGA Regular Tour Opening Ceremony" held at The Hyundai Seoul in Yeouido, Seoul on the 25th.

Twelve promotional models, including Kim Min-sol (Doosan Construction), Park Gyeol (Doosan Construction), Park Min-ji (NH Investment & Securities), Park Hyun-kyung (Medi Hill), Park Hye-joon (Doosan Construction), Bae So-hyun (Medi Hill), Yoo Hyun-jo (Lotte), Lee Ga-young (NH Investment & Securities), Lee Se-hee (Samcheon-ri), Lee Yu-lin (Doosan Construction), Lim Hee-jung (Doosan Construction), and Hong Jung-min (Korea Land Trust), attended the ceremony to shine.

What drew attention the most was Park Min-ji's pledge. Park Min-ji, who cited last year's only lack of a championship as a turning point, said, "I had a chance to start over like a rookie after being drunk on winning every year," adding, "We will have to consult with the golf course, but we will draw three flags in the last round of the championship and give them to you."

In particular, Park Min-ji said, "I'm healthy, but many people still think I'm sick," and added, "Now I'm 9-10 years apart from the rookies, and I trained two or three times to keep up with the physical strength of the young players."

Lim Hee-jung, who is seeking to revive, revealed a five-week off-season training episode. Lim Hee-jung said, "When I drink coffee, I can't sleep well, but I've been trained enough to drink two cups a day. "It was a time when I tested the limits enough to think about golf when I woke up," he said. "I want to win after a long time." If we win, we will give signed balls to 10 fans who visited The Hyundai Seoul," he promised.

There were also many players who emphasized direct communication with fans. Park Hyun-kyung, who aims to win 10 games in his career, pledged, "We will hold another fan signing event as a promotional model in the week when there is no competition when recording his first win of the season."

Hong Jung-min, who finished the training despite the first heavy flood in 30 years during off-season training in Portugal, said, "I promised the new team president to win four games of the season," adding, "We will open a class to teach about 10 people how to swing directly when winning."

Last year's grand prize winner, Yoo Hyun-jo, said, "I did well last year, but the number of wins was disappointing. This year, he said, "I want to win the most," adding, "If I win, I will give 10 people a signed hat."

Park Gyeol, who took charge of the ninth promotional model this year, also advised his juniors, saying, "If we are in the top 10 prize money rankings, we will give you a hat for 10 minutes," adding, "It is the basis of the promotional model to communicate with fans, laugh a lot, and take pictures at Gallery Plaza."

Some players predicted unique performances. "I practiced mainly on the course for more than two months in Vietnam and Thailand," Lee Yu-lin said. "If possible after winning, I will prepare the dance that fans want."

Meanwhile, the 12 promotional models who participated in the event also picked Kim Min-sol as the grand prize candidate. Park Hyun-kyung and Lim Hee-jung praised Min-sol as "a strong candidate for the grand prize because of her long distance and excellent technology." In response, Kim Min-sol said, "My goal is to meet the expectations of my sisters. The candidate I think is Park Hye-joon, who showed good performance last year."
