Cha Yu-ram played an active part in the pocketball stage,
including as a member of the national team at the 2006 Doha Asian Games and the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games,
and switched to 3-cushion at the same time as the launch of professional billiards in 2019.
He has been active on the professional stage for the next three seasons, reaching the semifinals of the 2021-2022 NH Nonghyup Card Championship and the semifinals of the SK Rent-a-Car LPBA World Championship 2022.
In his final season, he quickly adapted to the three-cushion stage even in a short period of time,
rising to 11th place in the overall rankings.
Additionally, in the PBA Team League, he played for two seasons as a member of Welcome Savings Bank and played a major role in leading the team to its first win in the 2021-2022 season.
Cha Yu-ram, who announced his retirement as a player after joining the People Power Party in 2022,
did not give up his relationship with billiards while working as a politician.
He contributed to the development of professional billiards as a PBA public relations ambassador and a member of the PBA stadium promotion committee.
Regarding her return to the billiards stage, Cha Yu-ram said,
“I am thrilled and happy to be able to stand on the professional billiards stage for the first time in two seasons since retirement.
Welcome Savings Bank
For two years, I have done what I can as a young politician and a working mother politician.
I regret because I did my best.
“I have no regrets,” he said.
He also said, “Through the experience of the past two years,
I realized that there are many politicians who are better than me.
I realized that what I am best at is billiards, and that I was happy as a billiards player.
When I first picked up the cue, I had the mindset to improve my game.
“I will focus,” he said.
Cha Yu-ram’s return stage is the Welcome Savings Bank PBA-LPBA Championship,
which begins on the 4th of next month.
Cha Yu-ram, who has no ranking points because he did not participate in the competition in the past two seasons,
is expected to make his return in the PPQ round (1st qualifying round) of the competition starting on the 4th.
The opponent for the return match will be determined according to the bracket scheduled to be announced on the 1st of next month.
Regarding participation in the team league, the original team,
Welcome Savings Bank, had priority nomination rights.
If Welcome Savings Bank nominates Cha Yu-ram in the draft scheduled to be held ahead of the next season,
he will play in the team league as a member of Welcome Savings Bank starting from the new season.
Cha Yu-ram plans to hold an official press conference after playing the first game of the Welcome Savings Bank Wellbang LPBA Championship preliminary round to be held at KINTEX PBA Stadium in Goyang on the 4th of next month.
