I'll take a short time," he said, stressing that he should not hesitate. When Kim Woo-jin shot 9.9, which was close to 10 points in the third set, he said, "When you are not sure about your skills, you get 9.9. Although Kim Woo-jin is the best in technology, you should have more confidence."

Kim Woo-jin, who maintained a stable heart rate of 80s throughout the game, shot his first shot with a heart rate of 85 in the last five sets and hit 10 points, and both of the other shots were also 10 points.
