"I want to win the gold medal in the Olympics. "

Will Yoon In-na be able to write a successful drama.

'Long hit star'Yoon Na-na expressed her determination to challenge for the LPGA stage. He expressed his great ambition to be No. 1 in the world and an Olympic gold medal. And he expressed his sincerity about golf development with a donation of 200 million won.




Yoon Na held a press conference on her entry into the LPGA at the CCMM Building in Yeouido, Seoul on the 26th. Everyone knows that Yuna has already succeeded in entering the U.S. She joined hands with Sema Sports Marketing for the LPGA stage, participated in Q School and qualified for the LPGA next season as the final eighth.

However, he attended a press conference ahead of his departure from the U.S. in January next year because he had never officially expressed his ambition to go to the U.S. and how he would play. He was at the center of the controversy due to the KLPGA Oh-gu play, disciplinary action, and disciplinary reduction. The disciplinary action, which was three years old, was cut in half, but there were many negative public opinions that they were going to the U.S. after playing for only one season. In the process, there was a voice of criticism for choosing a cold breakup with the sponsors who supported him both physically and emotionally. Because it was a burdensome situation, it could have been a burden to stand in front of the media and the public, but I took courage.

"This is how a young child who happened to follow my father to play golf grew up and came to be here," Yoon said. "I want to officially tell the dream stage, the biggest stage for a golfer, the LPGA."

Yoon Na-na "I want to thank those who have been with me until now. Fellow players who competed together and laid the foundation for growth. I came here because of the dedication of the KLGA association officials and sponsors." It was impressive to see officials from Yoon Na-na's main sponsor Hite Jinro also attend the meeting and congratulate her. Yoon Na-na will soon sign a new main sponsor contract, and will part ways with Hite Jinro.

Yoon Na-na continued "This season has been a gift to me. I want to be a player who contributes to the development of golf in the future. In that sense, we intend to donate a total of 200 million won, 100 million won each to the Korea Golf Association and KLPGA. I sincerely hope it will help junior players who are developing their dreams in difficult situations" made a surprise announcement. Yoon Na-na returned this season after a disciplinary reduction and won the grand prize, the prize money king, and the lowest at-bats award. Sema Sports Marketing CEO Lee Sung-hwan, who also attended the meeting, said "This donation will not be just a one-off."

Yoon Na-na said of the LPGA challenge "Challenge in an unfamiliar place is both exciting and burdensome. You need to have more skills to compete there. In particular, I keep hearing that short games are the most important. I also felt it at Q School. The grass is different from Korea, so I think the short game will be the key", he explained.




As for the goal set while entering the U.S., "My goal is to adapt to the LPGA stage next year. In the long run, I really want to be No. 1 in the world. I want to keep it as long as possible. I really want to win the Olympic gold medal." Players who want to play with this include Ko Jin-young from the same agency and LPGA star Nelly Koda.

Yoon Na-na said of her decision to leave the KLPGA after one last season, `I also thought a lot about this part. I was so happy and loved for a year with my fans that I couldn't express in words. Going to the U.S. reduces the time spent with fans. I had a lot of regrets about him"I thought it would be good for the fans to show them how I am doing well and growing up in the United States. Fans also cheered for us a lot because they wanted to see us do well in the U.S. It helped me in my decision."
