The tournament took place from March 8th over two days at the Gangseo Indoor Gymnasium. Representing the SB Table Tennis Club were Choi Doo-young, Kim Kwang-su, Lee Dong-min (all from the Finance and HR team), and Ahn Jeong-bin (from the IT team), who competed fiercely. The Yoo Nam-gyu Table Tennis Tournament is an annual recreational sports event organized by the Korea Exchange Table Tennis Team, which was established in November 2022 in Busan, with approximately 1,400 table tennis enthusiasts from the Busan area participating each year.

Choi Doo-young won first place in the Men's Singles 7th Division, along with promotion to the 6th Division. As an advisor to the SB Table Tennis Club, Choi Doo-young had previously demonstrated his exceptional skills, having won the 8th Division at the 27th Busan Metropolitan Mayor’s Table Tennis Tournament last year.

Choi Doo-young shared, “I first encountered table tennis at a local table tennis hall when I was an elementary school student, and I’ve been playing consistently since then. I also enjoy playing with my colleagues at Sunbo. Since last year, I’ve been formally registered with the Busan Table Tennis Association and participating in competitions.” He continued, “This time, it was significant for the SB Table Tennis Club as we officially registered with the association and competed with three colleagues. I’m thrilled to have made it to the quarterfinals and been promoted to the 6th Division, and I’m grateful to the company for providing us with team uniforms.”

He added, “Although we work hard for Sunbo’s bright future, the table tennis club is a great way for us to sweat and laugh together when we feel tired. I will continue to work hard to make it a club that brings us together.” He also expressed gratitude, saying, “I want to thank the company again for providing such an excellent in-house table tennis facility, and I am thankful to all the SB Table Tennis Club members.”
