Joohyung Kim, a South Korean golfer who plays on the PGA Tour, has come up with a new 'Styrofoam Cup' motto.
The PGA Tour's official Twitter handle shared a video of Kim speaking about the story behind his moto. He said:
"My motto is 'Styrofoam Cup'. Not a lot of people know this but I watched this video of... one of the speakers say, 'The position you hold... whether... people are going to treat you better the more famous you are, this and that. Doesn't really [matter]... it's the position that you hold.'..."
Kim added:
"Everyone deserves a nice styrofoam cup. Not beautiful glass or something like that because we're all just people and the position we hold, tends to be kind of... People tend to treat us differently."
Fans react to Joohyung Kim's distinct 'Styrofoam Cup' motto
Joohyung Kim is set to participate in the 2023 Players Championships from March 9-12. Before the tournament, he shared his motto, which took fans aback a little. Fans could not hold themselves away from pointing out the hilarious style of the interview given by Kim.

Another guy in a sarcastic tone wrote:
Joohyung Kim was funny and wholesome at the same time, and this guy pointed that out:
Another fan wrote that Kim is sipping (a drink) from the aforementioned styrofoam cup:
Well, the way Joohyung Kim shared his Styrofoam Cup motto backstory was hilarious. But it will not matter if he performs at his best level at the Players Championships 2023.
Joohyung Kim's life and career
The 20-year-old South Korean professional golfer impressed everyone after climbing to his career-best no.13 in the OWGR.
Kim was born on June 21, 2002, in Seoul, South Korea. He turned professional after playing on the Philippine Golf Tour in May 2018. At 17 years and 149 days, Kim became the second youngest to win on the Asian Tour after his masterclass victory at the Panasonic Open in India.
Other than this, he also won the 2019 Singapore International, his second Asian tour win.
Joohyung Kim placed fourth in the SMBC Singapore Open at the start of 2020. His strong performance earned him a spot in the 2020 Open Championship, his first major title, as part of the Open Qualification Series.
Kim has two amateur wins, the first being in the 2017 Philippine Junior Amateur, and the second in the 2018 Philippine Amateur Open Championship.
The year 2022 was a golden year for the young golfer. He won the Wyndham Championship and later the Shriners Children's Open, which also marked his 11th professional win, on the PGA Tour.
Interestingly, Kim is also the second youngest, after Ralph Guldahl, to have two wins on the Tour. He is also the first player since Tiger Woods (in 1996) to register two wins before the age of 21 on the Tour.
