'Lost Chapoma Award' Director Wi Sung-woo of Woori Bank "Basic Again! We'll do it in our style"

Last season's championship match winner 'Defending Champion' Asan Woori Bank suffered severe power loss ahead of the 2024-2025 season. Park Hye-jin, who was the team's backbone, moved to Busan BNK Some, and Park Ji-hyun, the main guard, advanced to the overseas stage. Key forwards Choi Yi-sam and Na Yoon-jung also left for Shinhan Bank in Incheon and KB Stars in Cheongju, respectively.
Simply put, it can be seen that all 'Chapoma Award' has left. Only Kim Dan-bi, the MVP of last season, remains among the main players in the championship game. However, it does not mean that a large FA has been recruited to fill the gap. He recruited Natsuki Sunagawa and Momona Miyasaka in the Asian quarter, but he is not a character that determines the fate of the team. Coach Wi Sung-woo evaluated "I can't say I'm good at it, but I'm a really hard worker."
In a way, it can be seen that the season starts at the worst. It may be difficult to keep the pride of a defending champion.
However, Coach Wi Sung-woo was facing his first game of the season with a resolute attitude rather than worrying. Coach Wi, who met Incheon Shinhan Bank at Dowon Gymnasium on the 28th ahead of the first game of the 'Hana Bank 2024-2025 Women's Professional Basketball" on the 28th, said, `I think it will be difficult, but looking back, I wonder if there was a season that didn't start hard," he said.
He said, `The players who have joined other teams are not players who have played a lot (in the main game), so there is a difference even if they train a lot. This season might be a bit harder in that sense"Other teams are also changing so much that I think we need to figure it out in the early stages of the exploration battle."
At the moment, we are not in a situation to talk about grades. Coach Wi said to the players, `Let's work hard in our original style.' I'm going to do it step by step again from the basics of offense and defense." The way to overcome the crisis that has come to reality is to start from the basics again. That's how coach Wi became the best WKBL master with his grit.
