▲ 'Flower Pot Table Tennis Table' to be used in the Korea Professional Table Tennis League (KTTL) unveiled on the 19th
"I've been to many tournaments around the world, but this is the first time I've ever seen such a beautiful table tennis table!"
This is the news that the first season of professional table tennis will be held on a 'flower kiln'.
The Korea Professional Table Tennis League (KTTL) Secretariat unveiled a table tennis table for the tournament, nicknamed 'Flower Pot', yesterday (19th).
In the photo released by KTTL, the lower part of the table tennis table shows the appearance of traditional Korean architecture.
The lattice and patterns of windows and doors are installed on all four sides, and pillars with traditional patterns are standing in the corners.
A KTTL official explained the intention, "As the Korean culture craze is blowing around the world, we tried to put as much Korean emotion as possible in the table tennis table."
When the table tennis players saw the table tennis table to be used in the tournament, they were so affectionate that they nicknamed it 'flower pot', saying, "It's really pretty."
Joo Se-hyuk, a 'table tennis legend' with extensive experience in international competitions, said, "I've played many competitions around the world, but this is the first time I've seen such a creative and beautiful table tennis table."
Not only this.
The 'Studio T', a table tennis stadium built inside the Ssireum Gymnasium in Gwanggyo, Gyeonggi-do, is also attracting attention.
Recently, the stadium has been completely renovated with woodwork based on black, which is the most preferred color in the international table tennis world.
'Flower Pot Table Tennis Table' and Studio T will be released to the media on the 24th.
