Hong Yoo-soon (Shinhan Bank), Samsung Life ace shooter Kiana Smith, and Lee Yeo-myung (Okakuchi Reiri) in the second round of the KB Stars rookie draft will participate in the Park Shin-ja Cup.

The list of participants for the '2024 Woori Bank Park Shinja Cup' has been changed.

Shinhan Bank has registered Hong Yoo-soon.



Hong Yoo-soon played a key forward and big man in the match against Taiwan's strongest Cathay Life at Shinhan Bank Blue Campus in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do, on the 29th, playing a key role in Shinhan Bank's power.

Shinhan Bank coach Gunathan `Hong Yoo-soon still has a clumsy side in offense and defense. However, he is 1m79 and has high speed. He is showing strong performance in the fastball and is showing very good performance in defense. We need to test it in the Park Shin-ja Cup."



Shinhan Bank's No. 1 pick, Rika Tanimura, cannot play due to injury, but most of the players, including Hong Yoo-soon, Choi Yi-sam, Jihyun Shin Jinyoung Kim, and Shin Yi-seul, will participate.

He changed the team color with a strong rotation and pressure.



Samsung Life Insurance also has Keana Smith participating in the Park Shin-ja Cup. With Bae Hye-yoon absent, Lee Hae-ran and Kang Yoo-rim, who played for the national team, are also expected to strictly limit their playing time. Kiana Smith recently joined Samsung Life Insurance's team training. It is expected to adjust the playing time.
