Mini Interview with TNT CEO Baehee Lee

How has ‘Hello Caddy’ performed in domestic and overseas supply?

We have delivered more than 500 units to about 30 golf courses in Korea, and overseas, we cooperate

with local dealers in each country. Last year, 136 units were exported to the U.S. and 203 units

to Japan, and the company aims to export more than 1,000 units this year.


Are there any other products or solutions you’re planning besides robotic carts?

Currently, Hello Caddy and other environmental beautification support robots and work support robots

have been developed and delivered to Cheongnam University and Daegu Medical Center. In the future, 

we will develop AI solutions to combine with these service bots.


How are you doing in overseas markets such as the US and Europe, and what are your goals for the future?

We recently opened a sales office in the US and will be developing a user app to increase cart usage this year,

The company believes that it will be convenient for users and provide additional publicity.


What will the future of golf operations look like with robotic carts and other golf IT?

The golf course of the future will combine the current mainstream human caddies with robotic caddies

to meet the needs of different consumers. I think it’s going to be a service. Specifically, for robotic carts,

you can move from a simple transport service to a golfer-level data-driven We believe an AI caddy service

will be coming soon. It’s likely to become the new golf culture, I’m looking forward to the robot carts and AI

caddie service starting in Korea first.
