Someone asked me about the Jump and Dream tour on Twitter. To help answer the question, I went through the profiles of some players on those tours checking age etc. I hadn't notice or looked carefully before.
I got a tad curious. What was Yewon's journey up the ladder like?
Yewon got some sort of exemption into the KB Financial Group Star Championship at 15yo in 2018. In fact, she's gone to Blackstone Icheon ever since. 2022 was her fifth trip to the Star Championship and she's never missed the cut there.
It seems, KB had their eyes on sponsoring her since she was 15. I don't know when they officially began sponsorship with her.
Was she a prodigy at 15?
She won four of her first three Jump Tour events in April 2021 and immediately turned pro. As such, she banked some cash at the 2021 KB Star Championship since she had already turned pro.

Ok, I was wondering why Hite didn't get her because they seem to grab all the future stars early in their career. KB Financial saw the writing on the wall of a potential super star and grabbed her first.

I'm curious if these sponsorship deals on tour are anything like kpop slave contracts.
