Jeon Ha-young (24, Seoul Metropolitan Government), the 'flagship ace' of South Korea's women's sabre fencers, has joined hands with Next Creative, a 'sports marketing specialist company'.

Next Creative officially announced on the 10th that it has signed an exclusive management contract with Jeon Ha-young, a national team member in women's sabre fencing.

Jeon Ha-young is a key figure rewriting the history of South Korea's women's sabre fencing. At just 17 years old in 2018, she earned the national team jersey and went on to sweep both the individual and team events at the 2021 Cairo Junior World Championships, securing the double crown. This marked the first-ever individual gold medal in the history of South Korea's women's sabre at the Junior World Championships.

Jeon Ha-young's growth continued unabated on the senior stage. Despite being the youngest member of the national team at the 2024 Paris Olympics women's sabre team event, she played a crucial role as the de facto ace, leading South Korea to a silver medal. Her bold attacking style and mature game management left a strong impression on fencing fans worldwide.

Following her victory at the '2025 SK Telecom Seoul Sabre Grand Prix', Jeon Ha-young climbed to the world No. 1 ranking, achieving a historic milestone as the first-ever pair of male and female sabre fencers from South Korea to simultaneously hold the world No. 1 ranking. Having recorded a final world ranking of No. 4 in the previous season, she is now widely regarded as a top-tier fencer in the world.

After signing with Next Creative, Jeon Ha-young stated, "I am excited to have a reliable partner as I challenge myself toward higher goals." She added, "I will continue my pursuit of the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, proving the competitiveness of South Korean fencing on the global stage and becoming a player who delivers positive energy and inspiration to fans."

Next Creative Park Eun-nim (CEO) also remarked, "Jeon Ha-young is already a player who has proven her competitiveness at the world's highest level." They further stated, "We will not spare any systematic and comprehensive support from a long-term perspective to further expand the player's value and influence."
