Esports is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. In 2019, more than 100 million viewers watched the League of Legends World Championship Grand Finals – that’s more viewers than the previous year’s Super Bowl.

And it will be an Asian Games medal sport for the first time at Hangzhou in 2022.

But who are Esports fans? According to a survey by Mindshare NA, they are working professionals with purchasing power: 43 percent of eSports enthusiasts have an annual household income of $75,000 per year or higher and nearly one third (31%) are $90,000 or higher.

65% of fans are between the ages of 18-34 but 60% are between 25-39. (Ref: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/game-on-what-marketers-should-know-about-esports-fans-300284390.html)

Which is why in March 2020, Han Sung Motor established a partnership with Gen.G, a leading esports organization with headquarters in Santa Monica, Seoul and Shanghai.

Ulf Ausprung, CEO of Han Sung Motor, spoke on the alliance then: “The mutual partnership is truly going to be meaningful since it is the first such agreement with the esports industry as a domestic imported automobile dealer. As our brand gets more youthful with this momentum, we hope to give a new digitalized experience to the next generation. We see lots of synergies for potential ahead.”

After a successful year of the partnership, Han Sung Motor and Gen.G has extended the partnership for 2021.

Game on, Han Sung Motor!
