Yoon Young-dal (81), the new president of the Pro-Danggu Association (PBA), held an inauguration ceremony and announced his departure in earnest.

On the 10th, the PBA held the "Inauguration Ceremony for the Third President of the Professional Baseball Association (PBA)" at the "Koyang KINTEX PBA Stadium" located in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do.

About 100 billiards people, including new president Yoon Young-dal, vice president Jang Sang-jin and vice president Cho Hyun-jae of Villiers TV, and officials and players from 10 PBA team leagues gathered at the inauguration ceremony.

"I am confident that through the leadership of President Yoon Young-dal, professional baseball will take a leap forward and grow into a more competitive sport in the world beyond Korea," said Sung Young-soo, owner of Hana Card, who was the first to take the podium.

Governor Yoon, who made his inauguration speech, said, "Pro-Danggu PBA has grown beyond daily sports to become a popular sport loved by many people in a short period of time, and has achieved remarkable growth," and declared, "Now, we will prepare for a bigger and grand new leap forward to raise the status of K-Danggu to the world based on the growth that has been made so far."

Governor Yoon promised that ▲ 12 teams in the PBA Team League will be expanded in the future ▲ PBA Team League Head Coach System will be introduced ▲ PBA-LPBA Tour prize money increase ▲ ▲ Strengthen referee expertise and welfare ▲ It will create a 'Korean billiard festival venue' (tentative name) that encompasses professionals, ama, partners and fans. In particular, the "Korean billiard festival venue" said, "I am confident that it will be the historical first starting point for the development of K-Danggu and the centennial generation."

President Yoon, who is scheduled to serve as the head of the Pro-Dang-gu until March 2029, runs the "Crown Haitai Raon" team from the beginning of the Pro-Dang-gu as well as corporate management and has a deep affection for the Pro-Dang-gu. As a result, he was evaluated as the right person to lead the stable growth and new leap forward of professional baseball.

Meanwhile, through a board meeting held prior to the inauguration ceremony, the PBA decided to appoint the first and second president of Youngsoo Kim as the PBA honorary president, which laid the foundation for the launch and growth of the pro-district.

The PBA, which announced the full-fledged departure of Yoon Young-dal, will step up preparations for the next season. It will have a PBA team league draft and a season-opening media day early next month, and will enter the new season as the opening PBA-LPBA Tour in the 2026-27 season around mid-May.

Dear billiards fans and billiards fans! How are you?

I'm Yoon Young-dal, the 3rd president of the Pro-Danggu Association.

It is a great honor, and on the other hand, I feel a great sense of responsibility to take on the heavy responsibility of the president in the seventh year since the establishment of the Pro-Danggu Association. We will do our best to develop K-Danggu to the world.

First of all, I would like to deeply thank the Governor of Youngsoo Kim and others for creating the foundation for the PBA and leading to its growth.

I would also like to thank the distinguished guests, athletes and journalists for their precious steps toward the inauguration today.

Honorable billiards people!

PBA has achieved remarkable growth in a short period of time, going beyond life sports to become a popular sport loved by many people.

Now, we will prepare for a bigger and grand new leap forward to raise the status of the K-Danggu to the world based on the growth we have made so far.

First of all, I will increase the professionalism and completeness of the team league.

For a team league with fans, regions, and companies, we will expand to a 12-team system and introduce a head coach system. Through this, we will be able to grow into a true professional league.

In addition, since it is a stage where the world's best players are active, we will increase competitiveness and value by increasing the prize money.

In addition, we will strengthen the referee education system to strengthen the referee's expertise, and create a league with solid fairness and trust by promoting the off-season basic allowance system and welfare.

Finally, for the greater vitality and sustainable future of our billiard events, we will create a place where professionals, amateurs, hobbyists, and fans work together.

In response, I suggest that the "Korea Billiards Federation" hold the "Korean Billiards Festival Market," an open competition with all billiards people. If the two organizations work together, I'm sure it will be a historic starting point for the development of the K-Danggu and the centennial generation.

Honorable billiards people!

In the future, we will do our best to help PBA grow into a center of K-sports that fans love more, players dream more, and the world pays attention to.

I ask for your participation and support.

Thank you.
