“I give the credit for the win to the coaching staff and players.
KCC was called a ‘super team’ this season with a brilliant lineup including Heo Woong, Lee Seung-hyun, La Gun-ah, Choi Jun-yong, and Song Kyo-chang, but it ranked 5th in the regular league, and was transformed into a different team in the playoffs, becoming the champion of the 5th place team for the first time in history.

Coach Jeon said, “It was a season with many injured players, and it was only 4 to 5 days before the start of the playoffs that all the players were able to gather.

Coach Jeon Chang-jin confessed, “Even though there were injuries, when the media said, ‘The Super Team lost,’ I lost energy and felt as if they wanted us to lose.”
He added, “It became a process for the players to become stronger, and they also had to keep their pride.”
“I worked harder in the playoffs for this,” he praised.
