Infinite transformation of professional billiards PBA… ‘Wide’, etc.
“I’m feeding!” (Kim Hyun -suk commentator)
“Uh, it’s fast” (Cho Cheol -woong commentator)
It is unusual as a commentary combination in the professional billiard game. However, it is fun to talk about two commentators without casters. “There is no order to start YouTubra” (Kim Hyun -seok) “No order, very good” (Choi Chul -woong).
It is the landscape of NH Agricultural Cooperatives Card and SWI’s 2025 ~ 2026 Team League 1st round on the 27th at the PBA Lounge in KINTEX, Goyang, Gyeonggi -do. The main game is played at the PBA Stadium, and the broadcast is played through broadcasters such as cables, but one of the five games a day is delivered to fans only by YouTube relay at the PBA lounge.
Phoei is a fan service by placing commentators that will unlease the ‘low’ lightly and lightly, not just the screen. There are also Kwon Jae-il Caster and Kim Gun-ho’s commentator union, but on this day, commentators from athletes such as Kim Hyun-suk and Choi Chul-woong were together.
As it has escaped from the strictness of the broadcasting relay, it is possible to proceed with the broadcast that is not bound by formality. In particular, it is another attraction to interact by mentioning the viewer’s opinion in the comment window. Direct communication with fans is taking place.
Light jokes and evaluation of certain players are also revealed. There is also abundant descriptions to solve viewers’ curiosity. Some fans say that they are not used to it, “noisy.” However, it is clear that watching billiards have appeared in a new form.
Phoei Lee presented the Billy Bear Mascot, a billiarded bear this season. Billy Bear comes to the stadium and contributes to the soften the atmosphere, such as a fan of intuition and a laugh to children. Webtoons and videos on the theme of Billy Bear also allow viewers to approach the billiards more friendly. “Billy Bear will be a medium to expand the sympathy with Phoenix and fans in various field events and SNS. It is expected to help the influx of teenagers and family members.”
Phoei recently made a PBA lounge and placed 10 billiards to open the players to relax or practice before the game. From the point of view of the player, the environment was provided to maximize the feeling at the official table before practicality without moving or stadium. Players can exchange, exchange information, and discuss team tactics.
It is also noticeable that the history of the professional billiard association year year year archive 1.0 from 2019 to last season was published. This is to establish identity as a professional sport, to establish basic data, and to leave major scenes.
Phoei has attracted the attention of fans by expanding the market with novel and diverse attempts. Bank shots, teams, team matches, cheerleaders’ support, and wearing clothes are now settled in Phoei’s culture. The game was faster as it pulled the stroke time this season to 33 seconds, reducing two seconds.
Kim Young -jin, executive director of Phoei, said, “To survive as a late runner of professional sports, we need to change and innovate every year. It is difficult for new challenges, such as changes in economic regulations, and needs courage.
