On the 2nd, a match between Hana Bank and Shinhan Bank of the 2024-2025 women's professional basketball was held at Bucheon Gymnasium. Players who participated in the game attached ribbons to their uniforms to mourn the victims of the Muan Airport plane disaster.

It is a ribbon of condolences for the victims of the Jeju Air plane disaster at Muan International Airport in Jeollanam-do on December 29 last year.




Due to the Muan Airport plane disaster, it was designated as a national mourning period until January 4. Even during the national mourning period, men's and women's professional basketball games continue to be held. However, cheering for the cheerleader using a microphone and cheerleading performances are refrained.
