For the 2026 season, Paju Frontier FC, which has made a full-scale leap into the professional stage, signed a main sponsorship contract with Sunil Safe Co., Ltd., a global safe manufacturing company with 50 years of technology representing Paju City.
On Tuesday, Feb. 3, Paju Frontier FC signed the official main sponsorship support contract for the 2026 season in the conference room at Sunil Safe headquarters. Under this contract, the Paju Frontier FC squad will wear uniforms bearing the logo of Sunil Safe's premium brand "LUCELL (LUCELL)" during the 2026 season as they compete in K League 2.
This main sponsorship has special significance as a case of a "region-based platform partnership" that presents a symbolic model in which local sports and industry combine to grow together, beyond a simple sponsorship relationship.
In particular, all 11 members of the Frontier Honors Club, the K League's first 11 million won premium season ticket offered earlier by Paju Frontier FC, will be provided with Sunil Safe's home small safe "Metacell (Metacell)" with the club emblem engraved on it, realizing a new sponsorship model that links local leaders · the club · local corporations as a single brand experience.
Sunil Safe Co., Ltd. CEO Kim Young-sook said, "First, I sincerely congratulate Paju Frontier FC on entering K League 2, and I am honored that Sunil Safe can be with them at this historic start," adding, "We will give unstinting support and encouragement for Paju Frontier FC's victories."
Paju Frontier FC Director General Hwang Bo-gwan said, "We are very reassured and honored to have Sunil Safe, a Paju city representative company with world-class technology, as our main sponsor," and said, "Like Sunil Safe, which has protected customers' valuable assets, Paju Frontier FC will be a club that protects the passion and pride of Paju citizens." He also emphasized, "Our club aims to be a platform club that connects corporations and corporations, and the region and the world. We will prove that potential together with Sunil Safe's growth story."
Meanwhile, Sunil Safe, the main sponsor of Paju Frontier FC, was founded in 1972 and has led South Korea's security industry for 55 years as a safe manufacturing specialist, widely known for its gold eagle-marked safes. During the Naksansa Temple fire in 2005, it earned the reputation of a "legendary safe that protected treasures" by preserving ancient books and artifacts inside a safe even under extreme conditions in which similar items melted.
After introducing the premium interior LUCELL safe, it opened the way for the popularization of home safes, and collaborated with the three telecom companies SKT · LG U+ · KT and the three security companies S-1 · SK Shieldus · KT telecop to launch the world's first IoT safes and camera safes, pioneering a new market called "security home appliances." In 2023, it introduced Metacell, which applies a new manufacturing method, and has been targeting younger consumers.
In particular, Sunil Safe was selected as a prestigious long-lived company for the first time in Paju and the first female-owned company, contributing to local economic development, and by exporting products to more than 100 countries worldwide, it has grown beyond the No. 1 share in the domestic safe market to become a global representative safe company.
Through this main sponsorship, Paju Frontier FC and Sunil Safe plan to build a co-growth model of professional sports based on the region and a global manufacturing company, starting in Paju and creating a success story representing Korea.
