It turned out that the old enemy's advice worked.

However, acting director of KB Insurance Martin Blanco was not frustrated. There was a conviction that the team would be different when Hwang Taek-ui returned.
It was literally the appearance of a relief pitcher who changed the flow. Hwang Taek-ui, who returned from his military service, completely changed the team. After Hwang Taek's return, KB Insurance jumped to third place in the league after Hyundai Capital and Korean Air with 9 wins and 4 losses. In particular, in the third round, they only lost to Hyundai Capital, and are 5 wins and 1 loss.
Hwang Taek-ui attributed the rise to Uijeongbu home fans. This is also a tribute to the dedication of the team that kept Uijeongbu by choosing Gyeongmin University Gymnasium instead of moving to other regions, despite the fact that Uijeongbu Gymnasium cannot be used.
Hwang Taek-ui said, "(Kyungmin University Gymnasium) is really close to the stands and the court, and the stands are concentrated. Uijeongbu fans' enthusiasm for cheering is amazing."

However, Hwang Taek-ui said "Our home is good as expected. Many fans came, but the away stadium does not have an atmosphere. As expected, Uijeongbu has to be the only way to gain more strength."
The troika leading KB Insurance's offense this season are foreign player Villena, Na Kyung-bok, who finished his military service after moving to the FA, and Cha Young-seok, who was acquired in a trade. From Hwang Taek's point of view, Villena is familiar, but she is still working with Na Kyung-bok and Cha Young-seok.
Hwang Taek-ui seems to hit well on his own if he raises it. As good players have been reinforced, the attack routes have diversified."

"Value is set by those around me, and I always think that I work hard on my job." As I got older, I became more responsible. If I can win three to four games each in the rest of the round, I think I can do well this season. I haven't talked to the coach much, but there's definitely a different sharpness in terms of the game analysis."
KB Insurance is the team that pushed them to the edge of the cliff the most in the process of Korean Air's four consecutive losses. In the V League, Han and Korean Air are huge walls that all teams and players must overcome.

Then "I got all the games to catch, but I could have won out of four losses, but I missed some games. We need to prepare well so that such a game doesn't come out," he stressed.
"The player hyung said 'Professional players end up as soon as they are satisfied" That's the right thing to say. I will prepare thoroughly, thinking only about what is to come."
