Coach Kim Wan-soo, who opened fire for the second regular season in the three seasons since taking office, said, “I want to focus on the work left to be done rather than the joy of the present,” and added, “It must have been difficult for the players, but I am proud and grateful for overcoming it well.”
Coach Kim Wan-soo said, “Last year, the team’s performance was not good, so we started preparing for the season on April 7th.

The driving force behind winning was pointed out.
Coach Kim Wan-soo, who achieved a combined championship after taking first place in the regular league in the 2021-2022 season, his first season in office, remained in 5th place last season due to the bad news that Park Ji-soo, the team’s center, appeared in only 9 out of 30 regular league games.

Although KB is flying high with 24 wins and 2 losses this season, coach Kim Wan-soo said, “Those two losses were the turning point.”
He added, “The team could have faltered, but each time, captain Yoon-ah Yeom kept the balance well, so defeat was not poison but medicine.
“It was possible,” he said, praising the captain’s dedication.
Coach Kim, who will face the 4th place team in the semifinal playoffs starting on March 9, said, “I am confident no matter who my opponent is,” and added, “No matter which team I play, I will highlight my strengths as much as possible and hide my weaknesses as much as possible.” said.
