However, although they are less recognized than Lim Chae-bin and Jung Jong-jin, there are some beings that threaten them frighteningly, the East Seoul team. Like the nickname of 'Gyeongryun 8 Hak-gun', the East Seoul team has many talented players such as Shin Eun-seop (18th, SS, East Seoul) and Jung Hae-min (22nd, S1, East Seoul) as well as Lim Chae-bin's Suseong team and Jeong Jong-jin's Gimpo team. Among them, Jeon Won-kyu (23rd, SS, East Seoul)'s performance this year deserves 'special praise'.

Jeon Won-kyu faced off for the first time this year in the second final race of 2024 held on January 14 this year. Near the second corner of the final lap, Jung Jong-jin tilted the leading Youngsoo Kim first and took the lead first, and Jeon Won-kyu fiercely chased Jung Jong-jin. The result was a surprising draw. The two players crossed the finish line at the same time with a time of 2:25:2550, tying for first place.
The showdown between Jeon Won-kyu and Jung Jong-jin was then held twice at the press competition (Sports Seoul Cup) held in February. In Friday's qualifying round, the two were the first to cross the finish line side by side in different events, and they faced each other in Saturday's semifinal. Jeon Won-kyu, who showed a sharp draw, took first place and Jeong Jong-jin took second place. In the final match held the next day, Jeon Won-kyu succeeded in third place after Lim Chae-bin and Jung Hae-min, and unfortunately, Jung Jong-jin ranked fourth.
▶In March, even the 75th consecutive victory of Lim Chae-bin, the strongest racer, was stopped
Meanwhile, Jeon Won-kyu defeated even Lim Chae-bin, the strongest racer, in the special-grade final on March 31. Lim Chae-bin played 60 times in 2023, last year, and won 60 times without regret, and he was cruising to his dream 100th consecutive victory by winning 74 consecutive games until March 30, the very day before.
On this day, everyone expected Lim Chae-bin to win. However, Jeon Won-kyu beat Lim Chae-bin with the previous tactic and won the championship confidently. Through this, Jeon Won-gyu has risen as the three strongest men in experience in name and reality.

Jeon Won-kyu, who has been active in the first half of this year, unfortunately was dropped due to other players at the end of July, and was unable to play in August and September. Many were concerned that the three strongest men in the race would be given up to other players.
However, Jeon Won-kyu returned perfectly as everyone saw him. On October 13, he showed off his robustness despite his return to the race, finishing third after Jung Jong-jin and Lim Chae-bin in the race to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the opening of the race.
Even if you look at the figures, Jeon Won-kyu's special performance deserves special praise. After Lim Chae-bin and Jung Jong-jin, they are ranked third in overall grades with a winning rate of 68%, a solidarity rate of 84%, and a three-solidarity rate of 95%. It maintains a steady performance in the third place in almost all games, with only three players: Lim Chae-bin (100%), Jung Jong-jin (98%), and Jeon Won-kyu (95%).
However, despite this uptick, there has been a little bit of 'octa' recently. In the 46th Friday qualifying round (November 22), his bicycle broke down due to contact with another player during the race, and he failed to advance to the final due to the withdrawal of the accident, and the next day, Saturday, he allowed a counterattack by a short distance, crossing the finish line in second place.
Jeon Ji-ji, manager of the Gyeongryun Winners, Park Jung-woo, said "Jeon Won-kyu has grown into a leading player for the East Seoul team. He is leading the East Seoul team's advance by showing fantastic teamwork with Shin Eun-seop and Jung Hae-min, who ranked 4th in overall performance"However, I failed to advance to the final in the 46th round of Gwangmyeong, and I think it is a strong vaccination ahead of the Grand Prix, and I look forward to playing at the Grand Prix with great care.
