“I had no idea that Korean drone soccer would be so sensationally popular on the world stage.”
In an interview with Segye Ilbo on the 17th, Lee Eun-hak (24), a college student who returned from showing off a drone soccer game at the CES 2024 (CES 2024) in Las Vegas, USA, where the world’s most innovative products were displayed, said, “I felt a sense of satisfaction and a greater sense of duty.” He said. CES is an exhibition hosted annually by the Consumer Protection Association (CTA) and was held from the 9th to the 12th. About 3,500 leading innovative companies from over 150 countries around the world participated in this year’s event, and over 130,000 visitors flocked to the event.

Mr. Lee said, “I never dared to imagine that drone soccer would be such a huge hit at an expo where the world’s most innovative products are pouring in.” He added, “Hundreds of visitors from all over the world flock to each game and cheer enthusiastically, which makes me very excited and naturally energized.” “I did,” he said.
Those who participated as the Korean national team gathered visitors by holding a demonstration game through the ‘CES 2024 Segye Ilbo Drone Soccer Competition’, which Segye Ilbo first introduced at an international event. Held at the Tech West Venetian Expo, the main exhibition hall of CES, a total of 6 teams, 2 each from Korea, the United States, and allied countries visiting CES, participated in a friendly match.

At the event venue, a drone soccer stadium was installed measuring 17m wide, 8m long, and 5m high. The drone soccer stadium, with its light-emitting diode (LED) lights and roaring noises, and fast-paced offense and defense, emerged as a specialty of the exhibition hall from the first day of the event.
Mr. Lee formed a drone soccer team with a total of 10 players, including his peers, and played demonstration games for 10 to 20 minutes every hour. We also played friendly matches with national teams such as the United States. Five out of 10 national team players are college students like Lee.
The spectators, who flocked to each game in groups of 200 to 300 people, cheered at the thrilling drone ball and were busy capturing the game on their cell phone cameras. Employees at nearby booths also watched the game from time to time and gave thumbs up. The ‘N’ number of spectators watching each game from the front row were also noticeable.

The Korean drone soccer delegation said, “As drone soccer has attracted global attention this time, we expect it to attract attention as another leisure sport representing the Korean Wave.”
The reason they crossed the Pacific Ocean was to promote drone soccer, which was first developed in Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do in 2017, to the global community. The successful hosting of this event is expected to lead to the success of the ‘1st Drone Soccer World Cup’ held in Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do next year.

Kim Yeon-hee of the Korean team said, “It was a non-stop schedule all day with drone soccer demonstration games, drone ball demonstrations, breakdown repairs, battery replacement, etc.,” adding, “We are helping drone soccer made in Jeonju, the ‘home of bibimbap,’ take a leap forward into the world.” “I felt rewarded and believed that it would soon become a hit as a future leisure sport,” he said.
