On December 3rd, Volkswagen Korea successfully concluded the “2023 Volkswagen Golf Treff Korea”, a celebration for owners of Volkswagen’s best-selling model, the Golf.
The 2023 Golf Treff, the first of its kind in Korea, featured over 70 Golf cars from the 1st to the 8th generation and welcomed a total of over 200 participants, filling the automotive theater located in Paju, Gyeonggi Province, creating a monumental event that showcased the heritage and evolution of the Volkswagen Golf.
Golf enthusiasts from across the nation gathered not only from the metropolitan area but also from Busan, Sokcho, Cheongju, and other locations to participate in the Golf Treff event. A range of Golf models appeared, including the rarely seen 1st-generation Golf Cabriolet and impressively customized tuning cars, all showing off their unique appeal.
The heartfelt stories of Golf owners further enriched the event. From families that travel weekly between Seoul and Namhae with their Golf to enthusiasts who brought their beloved cars from overseas, a diverse group of participants gathered to share their love for the Golf.
The most exciting program on site was the ‘Best Golf Contest’, where participants voted for the best Golf vehicle. After a fierce voting process, Park Heung-seo, who attended with his 3rd-generation Golf Cabriolet, claimed the title of ‘Best Golf’.
Park Heung-seo expressed his joy by stating, “It is a great honor to be selected as the best Golf at this first-ever Treff event in Korea. I will take good care of my Golf, which feels like an old friend, and I want to continue attending the Golf Treff in the future.”
Volkswagen Korea President Sasha Asghizian, who was present with the 8th-generation Golf GTI, remarked, “This event was prepared for Golf owners who have long loved the brand, allowing me to feel the passion and energy of Korean Golf owners.” He continued, “Volkswagen Korea will strive to become a more beloved brand through various customer events going forward.”
The “2023 Volkswagen Golf Treff Korea” was inspired by Austria’s largest Volkswagen festival, the “Wörthersee GTI Treffen”. Volkswagen Korea plans to continue expanding various events and programs to engage all Volkswagen customers, not just Golf owners.
