▶ Shim Sang-cheol, Kim Min-joon, and Park Won-gyu, who are aiming for '50 wins of dreams' at the same time with King Da-seung

If Lim Chae-bin is the strongest person in the race, Shim Sang-cheol is the strongest person in the race. Based on his excellent starting response speed and strong turning power, Shim Sang-chul has recorded 474 wins in total, recording double-digit wins every year since his 13 wins in his first year in 2008 when he was a rookie. He won the most wins three times with 41 wins in 2016, 45 wins in 2017, and 43 wins in 2019.

If the current skills are maintained for the rest of this year, it is worth aiming for the most wins in 2024. Currently, Shim Sang-chul has 36 wins and a 53.7% winning rate. If you calculate the rest of the race roughly arithmetically, it seems possible not only to win 45 games, which is the most in a year, but also to win 50 games of dreams beyond 49 wins recorded by Seo Hwa-mo (1st) in 2005 and Woo Jin-soo (1st) in 2006.

Meanwhile, the pursuit of Kim Min-joon, the most won king last year, is also not easy. Kim Min-joon, who won his first career multiple wins with 48 wins last year, has 36 wins this year like Shim Sang-chul. Currently, he has a winning rate of 52.2%, so if he adds 14 more wins in the future, Kim Min-joon can occupy the 50th victory spot.

Park Won-gyu is also the best player in the second half of the year. Park Won-gyu, who entered the correction in the 14th term in 2017, stood out with 16 wins that year, and correction experts and customers are expected to play a major role in the generational change.

Park Won-gyu, who was such a scary rookie, did not show outstanding performances in large competitions such as special races and grand prizes. However, he won the runner-up prize in the Sports Kyunghyangbae last year and finally won the Sports Kyunghyangbae held on August 22 this year, washing away the sadness of no spectators. With this momentum, he is chasing Shim Sang-chul and Kim Min-joon closely with 34 wins so far, aiming for the most wins. Park Won-kyu also has a chance to win 50 games if he advances to the remaining Grand Prize and special races in the future.

▶We are also trying to set a new personal record. Hanjin, Kim Jihyun, Ban Hyejin

Hanjin has won 345 games in its first season. Except for 2002 when he was a rookie in 2018, he is a very silent powerhouse who has won more than 10 games every year. This year, he is showing off the fighting spirit of veteran Baek Jeon with his seasoned skills. The 23 wins set in 2013 and 2023 were personal bests, but this year, they have already recorded 22 wins. With a 30.1% win rate, it is expected to easily surpass more than 30 wins this year.

Kim Ji-hyun is also having the best year. In April, he won the runner-up prize in the Sports World Cup, and proudly won the title in the May Queen Special Parliament, which determines the strongest woman in the women's race. He currently has the best performance among female athletes with 18 wins.

Ban Hye-jin, the 10th player, has also recorded the most personal wins with 19 wins since last year, but she has already recorded 15 wins this year. The winning rate is somewhat low at 19.7%, but he has a good performance when he is assigned to No. 1 or 2, so in this case, he needs to pay attention. If he wins 94 games in his career and six more, he will cross the threshold of 100 wins in his career.

Lee Seo-beom, a member of the expert committee of the prediction site, said "What a correctional player needs more than anything is consistency," and "The above players are model students who closely analyze their strengths and weaknesses and are constantly devoted to training." I expect these players to do well for the rest of the year."
