Lee Jae-hak (2nd), who won every race he participated in in the special race on the 3rd, which was held in the 33rd round of the last race, is definitely outstanding in the second half of the year. Until now, Lee Jae-hak has been evaluated as an experienced and experienced mid-sized powerhouse. However, based on the momentum of the second half of the year, he is showing his skills as good as any top-level correctional powerhouse.
These activities can be seen more clearly by looking at the records. He started the second half of the year with an A2 rating, with seven wins and 11 runner-ups in a total of 47 races in the first half, and has won eight games in just 17 appearances since July, when the second half began. The runner-up also recorded five times, continuing his best performance with a 47% winning rate and an 86% solidarity rate in the second half of the year.
Lee Jae-hak, who had the impression that he was strong only when he was assigned the inside course like No. 1 and No. 2, has recently shown strong confidence to win the prize by boldly competing even if he was assigned No. 3 to 4 or No. 5 to 6.

If Lee Jae-hak is leading the flow of the second half among the veteran players, Lee Ji-eun (14th) and Jeon Jeon Dong-wook (16th) are prominent among the relatively young rookie players. Both players started the second half with a B1 grade with ordinary performances in the first half of the year, but they have often threatened existing strong players with unexpected surprise performances.
Among them, Lee Ji-eun has made a sudden turnaround since August, with three wins and four runner-ups in consecutive games from the 31st to the 33rd.
In particular, during this period, it was even more impressive to see Kim Wan-seok (10th, B2), Kim Min-gil (8th, B2), Kim Eung-sun (11th, B2), and Bae Hye-min (7th, A2). With this propaganda, the unstable turning power, which was considered a weakness, has also improved remarkably, and if this trend continues, there is a possibility that Lee Ji-eun will establish herself as a new female powerhouse following Kim Ji-hyun (11th, A1) in the first half of the year.

In addition to the above players, Yoon Dong-oh (7th) and Son Yoo-jung (17th) have also shown better performances compared to the first half of the year, so we can expect their chances of performance for the rest of the year.
Experts say, `Overall, strong players tend to loosen up a little, perhaps because of the recent hot weather,' adding, `As strong players can make an upset face-to-face against the strong players, a good look at the recent performance trends will help in reasoning about the race" he advised.
