History

[edit]

Pro-Specs was created in 1981 by Kook-Je (국제상사). It was an official sponsor of the 1986 Asian Games and the 1988 Summer Olympics.

In 1985, Kook-Je was dissolved by the Chun Doo-hwan regime and the company was acquired by the Hanil Group (한일그룹). In the 1990s, the company was active in producing the tennis shoe Grand Slam and sending a volunteer team to the 1992 Summer Olympics.

In 1997, the company ran into financial difficulties during the 1997 Asian financial crisis and in 1998, Kook-Je and its parent company, Hanil Group, went bankrupt. Hanil Group was then acquired by LS Group in 2007 and renamed LS Networks in 2008.
