Selection of Sports Groups in Five Categories Until June 18
Customized Lessons with Sports Stars
Abundant Prizes Including 100,000 Won Group Support Fund and Ice Cream Coupons
On May 19, KakaoBank announced that it will hold the 'meet! THE PRO' event, offering customized lessons from sports stars to customers of its group account service.
The KakaoBank group account, considered an essential item for group activities, is used by approximately 12 million customers. Since its launch in December 2018, it has gained significant popularity thanks to features such as the 'invite group members via KakaoTalk' function and real-time 'membership fee status check'.
Last year alone, 2 million new customers signed up for the KakaoBank group account, showing that even after seven years since its launch, it continues to be widely loved. This means that more than four customers choose the KakaoBank group account every minute.
KakaoBank organized the 'meet! THE PRO' event to provide valuable experiences for group account customers. The 'meet! THE PRO' event is a campaign that supports customized lesson sessions with sports stars for groups in each sports category. The company plans to select exercise groups in five areas: golf, running, training, soccer, and tennis.
Until June 18, customers can participate by clicking 'Apply' on the event page, selecting their group account, and submitting a 'group introduction' that shares their group's special story. The actual lessons will be held as one-day sessions on weekends in July. Any group leader who holds a group account is eligible to participate, and customers who do not yet have a group account can open a new one to join the event.
The sports stars for each category are as follows: comedian Kim Gukjin for the 'golf' group, singer Sean for the 'running' group, fitness influencer Shim Euddeum for the 'training' group, former football player Park Jooho for the 'soccer' group, and former tennis player Lee Hyungtaik for the 'tennis' group. All one-day lessons for each group will be filmed and uploaded to the YouTube channels operated by the respective sports stars.
A prize draw event is also planned. KakaoBank will select 500 customers who apply for the 'meet! THE PRO' event and give them ice cream coupons. In addition, 100 new groups that open a group account through the event page will be selected by draw to receive a 'group support fund' of 100,000 won each.
KakaoBank stated, "As the number of exercise-focused groups is rapidly increasing, we have prepared a special event where customers can learn directly from sports stars and improve their athletic abilities," adding, "We will continue striving to provide differentiated experiences for our group account customers in the future."
