The summit reached the top after 4 seasons. I didn’t forget the ‘process’.

Heungkuk Life Insurance walked the thorny road this season. In early January, coach Kwon Soon-chan was suddenly sacked. It was a decision with the influence of the ‘upper line’.

It is the first time in four years since the 2018-2019 season that Heungkuk Life Insurance ranked first.

As it was a hard-won first place, Heungkuk Life Insurance remembered those who made the process together. Director Abondanza said, “I expected Heungkuk Life Insurance to take first place when I came to Korea.”

Kim Yeon-kyung remembered director Kwon Soon-chan. Kim Yeon-kyung said, “She is grateful to director Kwon Soon-chan, who was there before,” right after she was confirmed as No. 1, and she expressed her gratitude. In particular, Kim Yeon-kyung once again recalled the difficult situation when Kwon resigned from his position. Kim Yeon-gyeong said she was grateful, saying, “(Former director Kwon) had a hard time leaving, but Kim Hae-ran was able to persevere through the difficult times.”

Kim Yeon-kyung said, “It was questionable whether I could rise to first place this season,” and said, “There were obviously difficulties. While overcoming that, I managed the points in second place, and after rising to first place, there were good results. I think the players did a good job.” did.

Heungkuk Life Insurance will play the championship match from the 29th after playing the last game of the regular league against Hyundai E&C on the 19th.
