The Korea Professional Table Tennis League (KTTL), which has been revived for the first time in two years, will kick off on the 6th.
This league will only be played in singles for both men and women. The total prize money of 100 million won for men and women, including 18 million won for the championship, is at stake.
The preliminary round of the first round will be held at the Incheon International Airport Corporation Sky Dome from the 6th to the 8th, and the quarterfinals tournament will be held at Gwangmyeong IVEX Studio from the 13th to the 15th.
Then, the third round of the "Final" will be held in September and in November, with players with good performances in the first and second games.
In the Pro Table Tennis League, six men's teams from the Armed Forces Sports Unit, Boram Hallelujah, Korea Racing Authority, Seah, Hwaseong City Corporation, and Mirae Asset Securities, and four women's teams from Korea Racing Authority, Mirae Asset Securities, Hwaseong City Corporation and copyright will compete.
The player who attracts the most attention is Seo Hyo-won (Korea Racing Authority), a 38-year-old "defensive table tennis master" who will end his career for more than 30 years after this tournament.
Seo Hyo-won participated in the 2025 International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) World Championships held in Doha, Qatar from the 17th to the 25th of last month and returned his national team after the competition.
In the round of 32 at the World Championship, he lost to Croatia's Leah Lacovacs 2-4, ending the disappointing "last dance" without achieving his dream of producing the best performance (the quarterfinals).
His contract with the Korea Racing Authority will end at the end of this month, and he decided to make his farewell stage a professional league before retirement.
Seo Hyo-won will compete with Lee Da-eun (Mirae Asset Securities) and Kim Ha-na (Hwaseong City Corporation) in Group 5 of the preliminary round.
Jang Woo-jin (Sea), a Korean male star player, will also try to win the title. Jang beat Park Kyu-hyun (Mirae Asset Securities) 3-1 in the men's singles final at the 71st World Championships held in mid-April, and won the title in five years and five months in a domestic competition.
Jang Woo-jin will compete with Baek Dong-hoon (Mirae Asset Securities), Kim Jang-won (National Military Sports Unit), Ha Sung-bin (Hwaseong City Corporation), and Han Eun-ho (Korea Racing Authority) in Group 6 of the preliminary round.
Like the World Table Tennis Association (WTT), the tournament will be held with just a ping pong table. The tournament will be held in a way that draws maximum attention to individual players. 카지노
