Eugene Investment & Securities is holding an event offering free tickets to the 2026 Eugene Investment & Securities Seoul Open for tennis fans in Korea. To mark its second consecutive year as title sponsor of the tournament, the company is giving fans the opportunity to watch top domestic and international players compete in person.

Eugene Investment & Securities announced on October 13 that it is holding the ticket giveaway to celebrate the successful staging of the 2026 Eugene Investment & Securities Seoul Open Challenger, which opens on October 25.

Fans can enter through Eugene Live, the company’s brand community, through October 21. Selected entrants will receive two tickets each for sideline seats.

The tournament will be held at the tennis courts in Seoul Olympic Park from October 25 to November 1. As a Challenger 125 event, it will award 125 ATP points to the winner. The total prize money is $225,000, making it the largest men’s tennis tournament in Korea.

Major players from Korea and abroad will compete at this year’s Seoul Open. They include Korea’s leading tennis players Chung Hyeon and Kwon Soon-woo; Coleman Wong, the singles gold medalist at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games; Sho Shimabukuro, last year’s Seoul Open champion; and Bu Yunchaokete, the 2023 champion.

Marin Cilic of Croatia, a Grand Slam champion once and runner-up twice, will also compete. The company expects interest in the tournament to grow, as a player with a top-level Grand Slam record is taking part in a Challenger-level event.

Promising Korean men’s players will also take to the court. Cho Minhyeok, winner of the 2026 Eugene Investment & Securities Next Gen Invitational junior tournament, and runner-up Kim Taewoo have received wild cards and will join the main draw.

Eugene Investment & Securities plans to carry forward this year the enthusiasm for tennis it saw at last year’s Seoul Open. More than 12,000 spectators attended over the weekend matches last year, highlighting strong interest in tennis in Korea.

A Eugene Investment & Securities representative said, “We saw the public’s tremendous enthusiasm for tennis last year, with more than 12,000 people turning out over the weekend alone. We have prepared this ticket giveaway so that even more people can enjoy high-level play at the venue this year, and we hope many will take an interest and enter.”
