Hello, I am Jo Jae-ho, President of the International Esports Promotion Institute (IESI) Gyeonggi Northern Uijeongbu Association.
The Gyeonggi Northern region, spanning Uijeongbu, Yangju, Pocheon, Dongducheon, Namyangju, Guri, Gapyeong, Yangpyeong, Paju, and Goyang Special City (Ilsan), has long remained a blind spot in esports infrastructure. While the esports industry has been growing rapidly nationwide, the truth is that youth and citizens in our region have not had adequate access to a systematic foundation of tournaments, education, and community.
In response, our Association was launched based on the spirit of the International Esports Promotion Institute (IESI), to lay the first steps of an esports ecosystem in the Gyeonggi Northern region. Our goals are to expand a healthy grassroots base among local youth, revitalize the regional economy by hosting tournaments and events, and create new value by fusing the spirit of martial arts with the spirit of esports.
We are still in the early stages, but we will move forward step by step, hand in hand with local governments, educational institutions, and various like-minded partner organizations. We ask for your continued interest and cooperation in the future of esports in Northern Gyeonggi.
Thank you.
