David Beckham Visits Korea, Enjoyable Meeting with Korean Fans

Global sports brand Adidas celebrated the 30th anniversary of the release of Predator football boots by hosting the 'Predator 30th Anniversary Exhibition' at the Adidas Brand Flagship Seoul in Myeongdong, Seoul, and organized a special time for legend soccer star David Beckham to meet with Korean fans.

On the afternoon of January 29th (Monday), Beckham arrived at the exhibition venue and enjoyed viewing the various Predator collections released over the past 30 years, including 'Predator Precision', worn during his iconic free-kick that led England to the 2002 World Cup, and 'Predator Touch' associated with his halfway line wonder goal. He also signed autographs at the exhibition space.

Following this, Beckham participated in a talk show where he commemorated the 30th anniversary of Predator along with Kim Nam-il and Choi Jin-cheul, who played in the 2002 World Cup wearing Predators, promising footballer Go Jong-hyun of Suwon Samsung, and actress Jung Hye-in, currently appearing in SBS's 'The Women Who Hit Goals'. They shared various thoughts on football and communicated with fans at the event.

Beckham expressed his pleasure in meeting Korean fans after a long time, saying, "I'm happy to visit Korea and meet Korean fans. I travel to many places around the world, but Seoul always energizes me and seems to inspire me every time I visit. It feels meaningful to attend this special event commemorating the 30th anniversary of Predator."

A soccer fan who was able to attend the fan meeting after facing stiff competition said, "It feels like a dream to have the opportunity to meet England's legend Beckham in person, something I had only seen in videos. This moment of meeting the great Beckham will be unforgettable."
