SK’s 21 Years of History in Pictures
SK, which acquired Ssangbangwool in 2000 and founded Incheon as a hometown, has grown little by little, overcoming the sadness of the’youngest club’ and’unpopular club’. Kim Ki-tae and Kim Won-hyung, who were two members of the group, became SK’s new faces, and Kim Gwang-hyun and Choi Jung joined SK and grew into stars representing the KBO League. Starting with the first Korean series championship in 2007, SK has achieved 4 wins from 2008, 2010, and 2018. In addition, it has transformed into a big market club that attracts around 1 million home audiences a year.
