Lee Kwan-hee of DB said, `When you look at a black-and-white chef enjoying explosive popularity, chef Choi Hyun-seok takes out garlic when he cooks pasta. Our team's garlic is Kang Sang-jae. There was no Kang Sang-jae in the cup competition. In the regular league, our team will put in Kang Sang-jae (garlic) and complete the dish.
Sono Lee Jae-do said "Coach Kim Seung-ki is the key player. Compared to the black-and-white chef program, the chef (director) failed to complete the dish due to too much concern at the cup competition because the ingredients changed a lot. After the cup competition, the food is complete.
Samsung Lee Jung-hyun picked Choi Hyun-min and Justin Gutang, SK Kim Sun-hyung picked Kim Hyung-bin, LG Doo Kyung-min picked Yang Joon-seok, Jeonggwanjang Park Ji-hoon picked Byun Jun-hyung, KCC Lee Seung-hyun picked Kim Dong-hyun, KT Moon Sung-gon picked Choi Chang-jin, Gas Corporation Jung Sung-woo picked Bellangel, and Hyundai Mobis Lee Woo-seok picked Han Ho-bin.

Media questions and questions from on-site fans followed. The most notable question is 'Hard Call', which has been in place since the Cup this season. KBL Director Yoo Jae-hak has declared that he will play this season as a criterion for allowing physical fights to strengthen international competitiveness.
The responses from the coaches of the 10 clubs were favorable, but they were wary of the criteria and confusion.
Cho Dong-hyun of Hyundai Mobis, Kang Hyuk of Gas Corporation, and Song Young-jin of KT said, `Basketball is a sport that requires physical fight. The time for change is right. However, accurate standards are needed.'
