Why Mediheal bets heavily on golf?

Golfer Ed Bae So-hyun recently shared her experience of being sponsored by L&P Cosmetic, the company behind the popular Mediheal facial sheet mask brand. The timing of the dinner where she met with L&P's chairman, Kwon Oh-sub, was not perfect for her personal circumstances.

Bae had recently missed the cut at the U.S. Women's Open in Wisconsin after shooting 7 over par.

However, her recent performance on the international stage, coupled with a prolonged period without a win, had left her in a low emotional state.

In contrast to potential criticism or dismissal of her performance, Kwon offered Bae words of encouragement. He did not urge her to win, but instead emphasized the importance of focusing on the process rather than just the outcome. He told Bae that winning was not the only measure of success, and that she should instead concentrate on her own journey and the steps she could take to improve.
