Busan esports company SBXG (CEO Lim Jeong-hyeon) and its esports team BNK FEARX (hereinafter referred to as BNK FEARX) announced that they successfully held the esports social contribution project 'DRB FESTA' for approximately 40 youth from local children's centers in Busan with DRB (CEO Ryu Yeong-sik) on the 26th at BNK FEARX's home stadium, the Busan Esports Stadium (Brena).
DRB FESTA is an e-sports social contribution project in collaboration with BNK PeerX. It included a special lecture by Dr. Kwang-soo Oh (Researcher at the Asia e-sports Industry Support Center) to increase children’s understanding of the e-sports industry and foster career exploration skills at local children’s centers in Busan, as well as a tour of the Busan e-sports stadium facilities and on-site training, and a KartRider: Drift tournament friendly competition between nine local children’s centers to provide e-sports experiences through healthy competition.
SBXG, which owns the esports club BNK FEARX, which is active in global leagues such as the League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) League, Valorant, FC Online, and Rainbow Six Siege, has been representing Busan in baseball, soccer, and basketball since signing an agreement with Busan Metropolitan City in July 2021. Since then, it has been consistently pro-Busan, and this social contribution project is an extension of the pro-Busan actions it has shown so far and is part of sustainable management (ESG) with DRB, which is leading the way in social contribution.
SBXG CEO Lim Jeong-hyeon said, “As an esports team representing the Busan region, I think we should be more proactive than anyone else in social contribution. In particular, we will continue to volunteer and donate to socially disadvantaged groups that have limited access to esports. Meeting DRB, which understands the direction of the city of Busan, will allow us to take a step forward in contributing to the region, not just in terms of performance, this year.”
