The new season memberships for the men's professional volleyball team Our Card WON were sold out in less than three hours after sales began. The fervor of "Jangchung fans," who shared a dramatic spring volleyball season last year, continues into the new season.
On the 17th, Our Card announced via its official SNS that all four types of memberships for home fans had sold out.
Originally, the sales period was scheduled from noon on this day until 5 p.m. on the 23rd, but the prepared inventory could not even last a full day. According to Our Card officials, the first batch of 12 premium memberships sold out at 12:02 p.m., followed by 100 SUPER memberships at 12:12 p.m., and 200 Basic Plus memberships at 12:13 p.m. All 300 Basic memberships were also sold out by 2:41 p.m.
In total, 612 memberships were sold within 2 hours and 41 minutes. Compared to last season, fan interest is even more pronounced. While 258 Basic memberships were sold last year, all 300 prepared for this year sold out in an instant. Pre-sale tickets for away fans also saw strong demand, with 104 of the 200th available units already sold.
Our Card introduced the premium membership system for the first time in V-League history during the 2022–2023 season. The program has provided members with benefits such as early access to home game tickets, commemorative gifts, and participation in team events, and this year marks its fifth season.
The recent surge in fan enthusiasm is also attributed to last season's dramatic turnaround. At the end of Round 3, Our Card had a record of 6 wins and 12 losses with 19 points, placing sixth among seven teams. However, everything changed after transitioning to an interim coaching system under Park Cheol-woo (41).
Following this change, the team recorded 14 wins and 4 losses in the regular season, achieving a winning percentage of 77.8%. In the final Round 6, they defeated all three top teams: Korean Air, Hyundai Capital, and KB Insurance. With an undefeated away record, they dramatically secured their spring volleyball tickets, leading fans to coin the term "Park Cheol-woo Magic."
The organization responded to this fan passion in a special way. Even before the official media announcement of the head coach appointment, Our Card first revealed Park Cheol-woo's hiring to approximately 210 membership members who had gathered at Jangchung Gymnasium. After screening a surprise video at the fan meeting, they immediately proceeded with the formal announcement, earning praise for their "fan-first" approach.
Fans who shared last season's miracle are now showing intense interest in Jangchung Gymnasium even before the new season begins. The complete sellout of this year's memberships is a continuation of that momentum. Fans expressed enthusiastic reactions on social media, with comments such as "Is it really true that tickets sold out in one minute?" and "Please increase membership quantities for next season."
