Doosan Engineering & Construction's We've golf team has released a one-of-a-kind pictorial capturing each player's personal hobbies and interests during the KLPGA's two-week off-season break.
In the photos released Tuesday, eight team members — Yoo Hyun-ju, Yoo Hyo-ju, Lee Yul-lin, Park Gyeol, Lee Se-young, Kim Min-sol, Park Hye-jun and Lim Hee-jeong — set aside their competitive on-course personas to showcase their everyday passions or portray the kind of person they have always wanted to be.
Yoo Hyo-ju, well known for her love of baseball, posed in a national team uniform while holding a bat and glove. Lee Yul-lin donned a hanbok, a traditional Korean garment, and reinvented herself as a graceful calligrapher. "I have so many hobbies, but I wanted to do something different that wouldn't overlap with the other players, so I chose calligraphy," she said. "In everyday life I tend to do calligraphy rather than traditional brush writing — writing song lyrics or famous quotes."
Yoo Hyun-ju, who enjoys painting in her spare time, stood before a canvas with a palette and brush. Park Gyeol, a dog lover, captured the joy of spending time with her pet. Park Hye-jun, who loves driving, played the role of a racing driver, while the team's youngest member, Lee Se-young, an avid fan of idol music, posed as a girl lost in her favorite songs. Kim Min-sol traded her powerful swing for delicate hand movements, knitting a scarf in a side of herself fans had never seen before.
Lim Hee-jeong, a bread enthusiast, transformed into a baker. "It was fun to have an experience I wouldn't normally get to have," she said. "I don't usually show a side of myself beyond being a golfer, so I think this was a great opportunity to show fans something new."
