The 2023 Promotional models have been announced. This is the 15th year where they have chosen a group of 10 - 12 players to represent the tour in photo shoots and other promotional capacities. The twelve are: Min Ji Park Gyeol Park Hyun Kyung Park Ga Young Lee So Mi Lee Yewon Lee Chae Eun Lee 2 Hee Jeong Lim Ha Na Jang Uree Jun Ayean Cho Ye Rim Choi I'm somewhat surprised by some of these choices. Uree Jun is very obscure. No Su Ji Kim. Da Been Heo, Jae Hee Kim and Jee Hyun Ahn, all of whom made it last year and are popular, were passed over. No one named Kim. They went with Chae Eun Lee over Hyo Ju You, So Hyeon Ahn, Jeong Mee Hwang or Han Sol Ji. Ayean, Hyun Kyung and Hee Jeong lead the Swing Girls with their fourth straight selections (they were not eligible as rookies, so all have made it every year they could). So Mi makes it three straight, Ga Young two in a row. Ha Na has the most selections of these gals; this is her eighth (non-consecutive) selection.

What does this even mean?
Are they going to be on the cover of this years Members magazine?
Lee Chae Eun2 is cute and gave me a smile between holes a year ago.

The Promotional models are used in advertisements and promotions for the tour. Each year they take a ton of photos of each one, usually in three styles: golf shots, casual wear, and evening wear/dolled up. Last year, they asked the women to choose a sport other than golf they liked and shot photos of them "playing" those sports. For instance, Ayean took boxing shots, Ga Young was a volleyball player, etc. A few from last year: Jae Hee Kim Jee Hyun Ahn Ga Young Lee Ayean Cho Nice outfits:

The photos are here! Look out for them to be released over the next few days... The casual look. This shoot is called 'Vitamin', as they are supposedly each representing a different fruit. I see a watermelon there LOL. Golfing style: Fancy old fashioned attire.

According to the KLPGA's website, they will be releasing the individual photos two players/month the rest of the season starting now. They will release them in alphabetical order (Korean alpha order, not English), which means the first two will be Gyeol Park and Min Ji Park.
The photos will not only be used in ads but also in calendars, wallpaper, mugs and other swag, so stay tuned for more.
Here's a behind the scenes video featuring Ayean Cho and Gyeol Park:

We're still waiting for the September Gurls, which should be Hee Jeong Lim and Chae Eun Lee by my reckoning. Don't know why the KLPGA has not posted their pics yet...?
Meanwhile, they did post this video showing some of the promo models opening their gift boxes with all sorts of fun swag. Enjoy!

I don't know why the KLPGA hasn't posted the photos on their Instagram, but I did find some of them elsewhere. For instance, Chae Eun Lee posted some on her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CxKlvzZL37_ Look like she is the lemon girl! This blog post has some more plus some of Hee Jeong Lim, who seems to be the grape girl. Alas, Lim has not posted any of them on her Instagram.
