2021. 10. 29
Did you know that even sports activities show how Generation MZ values personal taste and individuality? Golf and motorsports are rising as new hobbies among Generation MZ, who have been longing to be able to enjoy outdoor activities throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, while the interest in esports is also growing more and more due to the rapid digitalization. Check out the sports trends Generation MZ love, along with the PGA hosted and sponsored by CJ Logistics, as well as the Superrace Championship and eSuperrace, which lead the motorsports culture in Korea.
01
Sports trends that Generation MZ loves
There is something special about the sports Generation MZ (millennials + Generation Z) are crazy about. Golf, which had previously been considered as sports for the middle aged, is in the spotlight as a popular hobby among Generation MZ, turning the atmosphere on the golf course to one that is young and stylish. The benefits of a wide, open golf course that allows social distancing in the COVID-19 pandemic meet the needs of the youth not just as a sports activity but also as a vacation spot. This trend is receiving attention as ‘sportcation (sport + vacation)’ among Generation MZ, as they are able to also go on a vacation for both sports and leisure.
This new coinage fully conveys the disposition of Generation MZ with their interest in self-discipline and how they value unique experiences. There is also another field of sports that is capturing Generation MZ’s attention in this prolonged pandemic: ‘esports’ played on digital channels. Esports activities and competitions applying IT, such as AI, are attracting Generation MZ all around the world with the advanced online broadcasting system.

The dynamic and exciting world of motorsports
The charm of motorsports lies in being able to enjoy, either directly or indirectly, the dynamic and exciting speed that makes you feel like your heart might explode. Having sponsored the Superrace Championship since 2016 as an official title sponsor, CJ Logistics continues to sponsor the contest and operate the racing teams in 2021, taking the lead in spreading the dynamic motorsports culture.
In the season of 2021, there was in particular an improvement in the broadcasting system to capture the vividness and realism of motorsports in the COVID-19 pandemic. The telemetry system was upgraded to provide new and original screen layouts to provide all kinds of information. The distance gaps and speeds of the competing drivers were compared, such as speed, RPM, driving distance, expected passing point, and ranking prediction information. In addition, expected lap time and ranking were also displayed on the screen real-time during the broadcast. Racing drones were also adopted for the first time, which captured dynamic scenes and made the competition more interesting, proving the high technological skills of the upgraded broadcasting system.
The Championship, which began in May, is currently halfway through the season and now has only two double rounds left in November. The season’s final champion will be determined in Round 8, and so will the first CJ Logistics Fastest Lap Award winner. It is still unclear who will finally win the last two races, so the motorsports fans are in for a thrilling journey. Don’t miss the last round of the thrilling motorsports along with various ongoing events on the sports SNS channel provided by CJ Logistics.
