Director Kim Joo-seong “The Biggest Difference Between Dongbu Fortress and ‘DB Fortress’ is Lawson”

Kim Jong-gyu said, "Shouldn't we say we're stronger" compared to 'Dongbu Sanseong'?

Coach Kim Joo-seong of Wonju DB, the leader in professional basketball this season, was a member of the ‘Dongbu Sanseong’ team during his active years.

In the 2011-2012 season, during the time of its predecessor, Wonju Dongbu, DB built up the 'Dongbu Fortress' with coach Kim Joo-seong, Yoon Ho-young, and Rod Benson (now retired), and achieved a remarkable record of 44 wins and 10 losses in the regular season. 온라인카지노사이트

At this time, Dongbu gave up only 67.9 points in each game, making it the team that gave up the fewest points that season.

It was a result achieved after the three members of Dongbu Sanseong, who had both height and mobility, boasted of organic chemistry.

Coach Kim, who is now with DB as a coach rather than a player, has created another 'mountain castle' for the 2023-2024 season.

The color of 'DB Sanseong', which adds foreign player Didrick Lawson to the big man lineup of Kim Jong-gyu and Kang Sang-jae, is completely different from its predecessor, Dongbu Sanseong.

The greatest strength of the Kim Jong-gyu-Kang Sang-jae-Lawson lineup is its offensive power.

DB, which develops an attack centered on these players, has scored an average of 90.5 points this season, ranking first not only in terms of performance (28 wins and 9 losses) but also in team scoring.

To find the last team before DB that had an average score of 90, you have to go back to the 2004-2005 season (Daegu Orions, 90.4 points).

In the away game against Samsung in Seoul on the 30th, DB scored 108 points and won by a whopping 35 points.

Coach Kim said at the post-game press conference, “The three players are definitely very different from Dongbu Sanseong back then,” and added, “Back then, we focused on defense, but now our strength is attack.”

He added, "Back then, we mainly attacked under the goal, but now those players attack a lot from the outside.

They play a role that fits modern basketball."

In fact, Kim Jong-gyu, Kang Sang-jae, and Lawson are all equipped with sophisticated outside guns, so they can drag the opposing big man to the outside.

In today's game, each of the three players scored 3 points and 2 shots.

Kim Jong-gyu recorded 24 points and 7 rebounds while mainly defending opposing big man Kofi Coburn, and Kang Sang-jae also played an active role inside and outside with 15 points, 10 assists, and 5 rebounds.

Lawson recorded a triple-double with 24 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists.

Director Kim believed that the biggest difference between Dongbu Sanseong in the past and DB Sanseong today comes from the presence of Lawson.

It is explained that Lawson, who plays a variety of positions and has excellent passing ability to help his teammates, plays the most important role in creating synergy with Kim Jong-gyu and Kang Sang-jae.

Coach Kim said that the recruitment of Lawson was the reason he came up with the idea of a basketball game that focuses on offense rather than defense.

Coach Kim said, “Lawson suddenly came out (on the market) and we recruited him.

At the same time, I think my thoughts on basketball have changed a little,” and “It is difficult to play basketball that focuses on defense and under the goal with Lawson.

” “I had no choice but to play basketball, but luckily I think it worked out well,” he said.

Kim Jong-gyu, who was asked to compare the power of Dongbu Sanseong, where coach Kim played, and 'DB Sanseong', laughed and said, "I'm saying this for fun, so I'll be confident.

Shouldn't I say that we're stronger now than when the director was there?"

Park Ji-won and Shim Seok-hee failed to advance to the finals, and Lee So-yeon (Sports Toto) came in 4th place.

He also failed to win a medal in the men's 500m.

Doosan Lee Young-ha throws the longest scoreless innings of three innings this season... “I’m looking forward to next year”

Professional baseball Doosan Bears right-handed pitcher Lee Young-ha threw the longest inning since returning to the first team this season, laying the foundation for the team's victory.

Lee Young-ha came on the mound in the 3rd inning with 2 outs and 1 base on, leading 2-1 when starting pitcher Jang Won-jun was shaken in the NC Dinos game held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 12th.

It was an earlier start than expected, but Lee Young-ha hit NC Park Geon-woo cleanly with just one ball. 바카라사이트

Lee Young-ha, who continued his good pitching, tied the NC batting lineup with 2 hits, 3 strikeouts, no walks, and no runs in 3 innings.

This is the longest game Lee Young-ha has played since returning to the first team last June after being found not guilty on charges of school violence.

Lee Young-ha threw 49 balls that day, including 31 fastballs, 10 sliders, 5 curves, and 3 splitters.

The fastball reached a maximum speed of 153 km per hour and an average speed of 150 km per hour.

The Doosan batting line scored 4 runs in the 3rd inning and 3 runs in the 4th inning, giving Lee Young-ha his 5th win of the season (3 losses, 4 holds).

With the win that day, Doosan chased down 4th place NC by a half game and 3rd place SSG Landers by 1 game.

After the game, Lee Young-ha looked back and said, "Because it was a game that we had to win at all costs, I think thinking a lot about 'I will win today' before the game helped me on the mound."

He recalled, “Actually, I was exhausted after the 5th inning, and my legs were shaking in the 6th,” and “I was a little disappointed because I got a hit at the end.”

Regarding this season, he said, “I feel good because many of the goals I set out to achieve have been achieved,” and he was satisfied, adding, “The ball’s velocity and speed are improving a lot as I wanted.”

This is why Youngha Lee paints next season more positively.

‘Legend B-Boy’ Kim Hong-yeol wins silver medal at Asian Games in Breaking Ceremony

Korean B-boy 'living legend' Kim Hong-yeol (nickname Hong10) won a silver medal in breaking, which became an official event at the Asian Games for the first time.

Kim Hong-yeol lost to Japan's Shigeyuki Nakarai (Shigekix) with a round score of 1-2 (4-5 3-6 6-3) in the men's breaking final of the competition held at the Archer Canal Sports Park Gymnasium in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China on the afternoon of the 7th and won the silver medal hung around his neck.

Kim Hong-yeol, who passed the round of 16 group stage in second place in Group A following China's Qi Xiangyu (Lithe-ing) the previous day, advanced to the semifinals by defeating Kazakhstan's Amir, the favorite, in the quarterfinals.

He then defeated Hisakawa Issin in the semifinals and advanced to the finals.

Breaking is conducted as a 1-on-1 battle. In the final, there were three performances of one minute per round to determine the winner. 온라인카지노

Nine judges determine the winner by scoring five categories, including technical skill, expression, originality, performance, and musicality.

Starting from this competition, breaking was adopted as an official event in the Asian Games.

Although Kim Hong-yeol failed to win the gold medal, she left behind a meaningful achievement by winning her first historic medal in her first competition.

Kim Hong-yeol said, "Actually, it's difficult to compete (on the world stage) even at this age," and "There are a lot of pain points.

There is no problem in competing with younger players, but performing well in competition with them is a completely different problem."

Kim Hong-yeol said, “I am curious about how the public will react to breaking through this competition,” and said, “My goal is to take care of both sports and art.”

Kim Hong-yeol is a Korean break dance legend. She won the prestigious Red Bull BC One Final twice, in 2006 and 2013. Kim Hong-yeol was the first Korean to win this competition.

K-League 1 Gangwon-Daejeon, A Draw that Failed Both Teams

Daejeon failed in Final A... Gangwon can't widen the gap with last place.

Professional soccer K-League 1 Gangwon FC and Daejeon Hana Citizen drew and shared 1 point each, but neither team was able to smile.

Gangwon drew 1-1 with Daejeon in the 32nd round home game of Hana One Q K League 1 2023 held at Gangneung Sports Complex in Gangwon-do on the 1st.

11th place Gangwon (26 points), which added 1 point, was unable to narrow the gap with 10th place Suwon FC (30 points).

Also, they were unable to push away 12th-place Suwon Samsung (22 points), which was directly relegated.

Daejeon also added only 1 point and was confirmed to advance to Final B (7th to 12th) instead of Final A (1st to 6th).

Daejeon stood still in 8th place (42 points).

In the first half, both teams did not miss the opportunity to score by causing the opponent's passing mistake with strong forward pressure.

Daejeon scored the first goal. 바카라사이트

In the 18th minute of the first half, taking advantage of Gangwon's passing mistake, Kim In-gyun stole the ball in midfield in front of the goal and passed it to Thiago, and Massa, who received a pass slightly given away by Thiago, stabbed the corner of the opposite goal with his right foot from the penalty area in front of the goal.

Gangwon immediately tied the game two minutes later with Kim Dae-won's wonder goal.

Gangwon also put strong pressure on Daejeon, and Kim Dae-won took advantage of Daejeon's incomplete pass to steal the ball and hit the net with a right-footed mid-range shot from behind the penalty line.

Gangwon, which was behind in possession of the ball in the first half by 33% to 67%, reorganized itself in the second half and took the lead in the game by increasing its possession to nearly 60%, but failed to score an additional goal.

In the 17th minute of the second half, Gangwon's Gabriel broke through the line and fired a right-footed shot from the right penalty area, but it was blocked by Daejeon goalkeeper Lee Chang-geun's super save.

LG Twins Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop Revealed his Concerns About Korean Starting Pitcher Choi Won-tae.

LG Yeom Kyung-yeop "If Choi Won-tae doesn't do well in his next appearance, I'm worried about being canceled or taking a break." 온라인카지노

Coach Yeom met with reporters ahead of the professional baseball game KT Wiz held at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 6th and said, "If the next pitch is not good,

I will either remove you from the entry, or take a long period of time and look at (the rotation)." said.

Choi Won-tae allowed 5 hits (1 home run), 1 walk, and 2 runs (2 earned) in 3 innings against KT the previous day.

At that time, when the game was delayed for 104 minutes due to heavy rain ahead of the attack in the top of the fourth inning, Choi Won-tae naturally handed the ball to the reliever.

His sluggish performance is not an easy problem as LG brought him in through a bold trade last July to win the Korean Series for the first time in 29 years.

In exchange for Choi Won-tae, LG gave Kiwoom Heroes two promising pitchers, including Lee Joo-hyung and Kim Dong-gyu, and a first-round pick in the 2024 rookie draft.

Choi Won-tae pitched well, allowing 6 scoreless innings in his transfer debut on July 30, but his average ERA was only 9.00 in 4 games and 21 innings in the month of August.

And he was unable to shake off his bad luck even in the game the day before he pitched after 10 days of rest.

Bullpen pitcher Yoo Young-chan, who has slowed down by allowing 5 runs in 3 innings in the last 3 games, will also take a day or two of rest.

Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop analyzed, "In the past, he was a pitcher who was busy throwing strikes, but that's not the case anymore.

However, in order to go one step further, you need to be able to see the corner (strike zone) and fight in favorable counts."

Regarding closer Go Woo-seok, who saved the victory by one point the previous day, he said, "He showed himself as a king of saves in an important game and situation," and expressed his gratitude.

"It is thanks to coaches Kim Gyeong-tae and Kim Gwang-sam who prepared (Go Woo-seok) quickly."

‘400 saves’ Oh Seung-hwan “I didn’t show it, but I felt the pressure”

The most memorable save of the dramatic 400th save in the last home game of the regular season ... "today"

Oh Seung-hwan (Samsung Lions), the ultimate professional baseball player who achieved the record of 400 saves for the first time in professional baseball, confessed that he felt pressured about achieving the record.

After making his 400th personal KBO League save in the 2023 KBO League home game against SSG Landers held at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 14th, Oh Seung-hwan said through the club, "I'm sorry for posting poor results this year," and "Still (home).

“I’m happy that we won the last game,” he said.

He added, “I felt pressure and was conscious of achieving 400 saves,” adding, “I didn’t show it, but I also thought, ‘When will it come out?’”

In the meantime, Seung-Hwan Oh stated that he does not attach any significance to his personal records.

Whenever he set numerous records, such as the record of 500 saves in Korea-US-Japan professional baseball, he did not express any pressure about achieving the record.

However, on this day, he honestly revealed his feelings like an ordinary pitcher.

When asked about 'the most memorable save I've ever made,' Seung-Hwan Oh said, "Today's save."

As Oh Seung-hwan said, the process of making his 400th save was dramatic.

After making his 399th save in his career, he was unable to make his 400th save.

Samsung's remaining regular season games were gradually decreasing, and they made a dramatic save in their final home game on the 14th.

Oh Seung-hwan, who went to the mound with 2 outs and 2nd base in the top of the 8th inning with a 4-3 lead, threw 34 pitches in 1⅓ innings, allowing 2 walks and no runs to preserve the victory. 카지노

Seung-hwan Oh said, “There are no goals left,” and “I just want the team to win a lot and move up to a higher ranking than other teams.”

He went on to say, "If I get a win, it will mean I've made just as many saves."

[Asian Games] ‘Captain’ Baek Seung-ho Laughed with his Colleagues at the End, “Growing as a Person”

Although I suffered from criticism for my mistakes, I finished with a gold medal... “It will be a turning point”

Baek Seung-ho (26, Jeonbuk), midfielder for the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games men's soccer team, experienced both the sweet and bitter tastes of life in a short period of time at this tournament. 카지노사이트원

He was selected as one of the three 'wild card' positions on the national team for this tournament, where players under the age of 24 (U-24) can play, and was also selected as captain, playing a role in establishing the team's focus both on and off the field.

Although the team won a series of big wins in the early stages of the group stage and overcame difficult opponents in the tournament, he enjoyed success with his teammates, but he also became the target of criticism when his mistakes were highlighted several times.

In the semi-final against Uzbekistan (2-1 win on the 4th), when he was criticized for allowing a free kick that was an excuse for conceding a goal, he protested and said, "I said I was trying hard, but it ended up being a foul, and I couldn't avoid the shot, but I got hit and went in."

He protested and asked, "What should I do?" “I wonder if you will be satisfied.

I hope you will believe in me and support me,” he said.

Baek Seung-ho, who wore the captain's armband and defended the national team's midfield in the fateful final against Japan held at the Huanglong Sports Center Stadium in Hangzhou, China on the 7th, had the last laugh as the team won 2-1 and won the gold medal for the third time in a row.

When the journey, which was not easy, ended with the victory he had set for, Baek Seung-ho showed tears mixed with various emotions from the past.

Baek Seung-ho, who met reporters with the gold medal around his neck, said, “I am grateful to coach Hwang Seon-hong and the coaching staff for believing in me and selecting me.

“I am also grateful to my colleagues who believed in each other and worked towards our goal until the end,” he said.

“It was a time when I was desperate and prepared hard because I wanted to win, and I am happy to have achieved the result.

“Everyone worked so hard that it’s hard to single out just one person,” he said, reflecting on this competition, adding, “I think I learned a lot and grew as a person.”

Baek Seung-ho expressed his gratitude, saying, "When the coach trusted me and entrusted me with the captaincy, I felt excited and fun rather than worried, but as each game went up, the pressure and responsibility increased.

Thankfully, the coach, coaches, and colleagues believed in me."

When celebrating the win, Coach Hwang and Seung-ho Baek hugged each other, soothing each other's heartache and sharing joy.

Baek Seung-ho said, "The coach also had a lot to worry about before and during the competition and worked hard.

He told me that I had worked hard and said a lot of nice things, so we talked to each other," and "I was constantly in tears."

Coach Hwang Seon-hong said, “I trusted Seung-ho 100%, so I made him captain.

(When criticism came up), I told him, ‘Don’t worry about it, just do what you have to do.’”

Coach Hwang, who played as an undisputed starting striker for the national team during his time as a player, but received more criticism than anyone else due to the high expectations, said, "I have experienced this too, and I hope my juniors can overcome all such things.

I want to tell them that they just need to remain silent and do their job." said.

Baek Seung-ho, who has experience working on European stages such as Germany, will receive military service benefits by winning this gold medal, focusing more on his team and laying the foundation for challenging bigger stages in the future.

Baek Seung-ho said, “A lot of things happened in this competition, and it was a good experience for me to get a result.”

He smiled and said, “I think it will be a ‘turning point.’”

[Asian Games] Jang Yu-bin Takes Sole Lead in Men’s Golf 1R… Ranked 1st in Korea in Group Exhibition

Jo Woo-young tied for 3rd place, PGA Tour Lim Seong-jae and Kim Si-woo tied for 14th place.

Yubin Jang (Korea National Sport University) took the lead in the first round of the men's golf competition at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games. 바카라사이트

On the first day of the tournament held at the West Lake International Golf Course (par 72, 7,280 yards) in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China on the 28th, Yubin Jang made 12 birdies and prevented one bogey, hitting 11 under par 61.

Jang Yu-bin, ahead of Daichi Go (Hong Kong) by one stroke, is in first place as of 5:40 p.m.

On this day, in the first round, players with relatively good skills played in the previous group, so Jang Yu-bin is likely to maintain first place until the end of the first round.

Korea, whose national team consists of amateur national team members Jang Yu-bin and Jo Woo-young (Korea National Sport University), and Lim Seong-jae and Kim Si-woo, who play on the PGA Tour, had two amateurs in the top ranks in the first round.

Wooyoung Jo also tied for 3rd place with 9 under par 63 strokes, while Seongjae Lim and Siwoo Kim are tied for 14th place with 66 strokes at 6 under par.

Even in the team event, where the ranking is determined by adding up the scores of the top three out of four players, Korea took the lead with a combined score of 26 under par, beating out Singapore and Japan, who were both at 21 under par.

Jang Yu-bin showed good shooting sense on this day, making six consecutive birdies from the first to the sixth hole.

Jang Yu-bin, who won the Korea Professional Golf (KPGA) Korean Tour Gunsan CC Open in August, said, "I hit the ball well, and there was some pressure, but as things started going well from the beginning, the pressure disappeared and I got a good score."

He added, "So far, 6 points including eagle in 5 holes. “I’ve hit under par before, but this is the first time I’ve made birdies in 6 holes in a row,” he said happily.

Along with Jo Woo-young, three others, including Cheon Gu-shin (China) and Sumiuchi Masato (Japan), were tied for third place.

Three people, including Pachara Kongwatmai (Thailand), tied for 6th place with 8 under par 64 strokes, and Anirban Lahiri (India) and Siddiker Rahman (Bangladesh) tied for 9th place with 7 under par 65 strokes.

Seongjae Lim and Siwoo Kim are 5 strokes behind leader Yubin Jang, but are in a position to catch up in the remaining 2nd to 4th rounds.

In Korea's previous competition, the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games, Oh Seung-taek won a silver medal in the individual event and a bronze medal in the team event.

[Asian Games] North Korean swimmer Ri Hye-kyung tells Chinese reporters, "I'm glad to be able to participate in the competition."

North Korean swimmer Lee Hye-gyeong (18), a member of the General Association of Koreans in Japan (Chongryon), was interviewed by Chinese reporters.

Lee Hye-kyung competed in the women's 100m butterfly preliminaries at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games Swim Management held at the 바카라사이트 Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center swimming pool in Zhejiang, China, on the 27th. She finished in 1 minute 07.72 seconds and was eliminated after placing 19th out of 25 people.

Lee Hye-kyung, who said she would decline an interview request from Korean reporters after the game, stopped when a Chinese reporter who spoke Korean fluently said, "Lee Hye-kyung, this is a Chinese reporter."

Hye-kyung Lee told a Chinese reporter, "The result of today's match was not good.

I was in bad shape and I had an injury, so I was worried," and that she was "training, recovering little by little."

Lee Hye-kyung debuted on the international stage at the 2018 Hangzhou Short Course (25m) World Championships and ranked 46th in the 100m backstroke (1:05.53) and 25th in the 200m butterfly (2:18.63).

She has not competed in any international competitions since.

When a Chinese reporter asked her "how she felt about coming to Hangzhou for the second time," Lee Hye-kyung replied, "It was good that she was able to play in a match held in a very large stadium."

Lee Hye-kyung ended the interview by saying, “My goal for next year is to break my personal best record.”

Two North Korean swimmers, Park Mi-sung (22) and Lee Hye-sung, participated in the Asian Games.

Park Mi-seong competed in the women's 100m freestyle preliminaries on the 26th, and she finished in 18th place out of 29 people with a time of 58.79 seconds.

However, just participating in this competition attracted attention.

It has been about four years since the World Military Athletics Championships held in Wuhan, China in October 2019 that a North Korean swimmer participated in an international competition.

The International Aquatics Federation recognizes records set at the Military World Championships as official records.

Criticism of Kwon Soon-woo's Refusal to Shake Hands After Being Eliminated from the Asian Games

Korean tennis star Kwon Soon-woo was embroiled in a 'personality controversy' after slamming his racket and refusing to shake hands with his opponent when he was eliminated from the men's singles match at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games.  카지노

On the 26th, a video of Kwon Soon-woo venting his anger with a racket after losing a game is spreading on YouTube and social media.

In this video, which seems to have been filmed from the stands, Kwon Soon-woo slams his racket six times.

The racket was shattered to the point where it was unrecognizable.

This is a scene immediately after the end of the men's singles second round between Kwon Soon-woo and Kasidit Samrej (Thailand) held on the 25th.

Kwon Soon-woo, ranked 112th in the singles world rankings, was eliminated after losing 1-2 (3-6 7-5 4-6) to Samrez (636th), who was 500 places lower than him.

Kwon Soon-woo, who is trying to win the gold medal in this tournament, appears to have been unable to relieve his anger when he was eliminated early in the singles match.

A tennis player who loses a match venting his anger with his racket is a scene that can be seen quite often even in professional competitions.

However, there is criticism that Kwon Soon-woo's refusal to shake Samrez's handshake was an action that crossed the 'line'.

Even though Kwon Soon-woo waited for Samrez to approach and shake his hand, he did not show any reaction and just straightened up his luggage.

Samrez eventually turned around shyly and greeted the audience.

Overseas fans are also casting a critical eye on Kwon Soon-woo.

The South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported that one netizen said, “A player must love the racket just as a pianist loves his fingers, a photographer loves his eyes, and a soldier loves his gun.

It is natural for a person like this (Kwon Soon-woo) to lose.

“A person like this who ignores tennis should be banned for life,” he wrote.

Kwon Soon-woo, who has not yet resolved his military service, continues his challenge for the gold medal in men's doubles, paired with Hong Seong-chan.

Gwangju FC Practice Stadium is Dissatisfied “There is No Place to Practice as Much as you Want”

The three existing facilities are difficult to rent or use due to facility defects, so the players and fans want to build a new dedicated facility... Gwangju City is ‘reluctant’

As the Gwangju FC professional soccer club is taking the field by storm with its brilliant attacking soccer and undefeated record in nine games, its poor training facilities are also coming into the spotlight. 카지노사이트

Gwangju FC, a civic club, is practicing at three different stadiums, but it is difficult to use even these stadiums properly due to problems with grass and drainage, so some are saying that a separate dedicated practice stadium is needed.

According to Gwangju FC on the 12th, the players alternately rent the Gwangju Soccer Center, Gwangju Soccer Stadium (formerly Gwangju World Cup Stadium auxiliary stadium), and Gwangju World Cup Stadium main stadium once or twice a week for training.

Among these, the soccer center was often unusable due to drainage problems when it rained heavily since its opening in 2019, and the foul smell worsened as the grass rotted.

It is not easy to use the soccer-specific stadium and the main stadium of the World Cup Stadium as the number of rentals is limited to about twice a week due to natural grass protection issues.

Players who wanted to train on the grass field 5 to 6 days a week unanimously said in each post-game interview, "It's a shame that we can't use the field to our fullest."

Gwangju FC coach Lee Jeong-hyo expressed his wish at a press conference after the recent Ulsan game, saying, "The players and others have shown (through their performance) about the environment of Gwangju FC, so I hope the city will also give an answer."

Gwangju FC fans are also calling for the construction of a new dedicated practice facility by hanging banners at home games saying, "It's only a professional team, the training environment is amateur," or asking for a stadium to be built.

Gwangju City and the Gwangju City Sports Council, which operates the stadium on a consignment basis, expressed reluctance to build a new practice stadium, saying that difficulties in use would be resolved once the soccer center repair work is completed in the first half of next year.

Gwangju City, which spent 2.92 billion won to build a soccer center, plans to spend another 2 billion won to complete drainage construction and grass cultivation by the end of April or early May next year.

The soccer-specific stadium, where concerns have been raised about the stands shaking, will also undergo repair work by early next month.

Kang Gwang-ho, head of the World Cup team at the Gwangju City Sports Council, said, “There were problems with the soccer center due to poor foundation construction.

After the Sports Council completes the construction first, the city will file a claim for compensation from the first construction company.”

He added, “Once repairs are completed at all three locations, practice rentals will proceed smoothly.”

“It will come true,” he explained.

Lee Boo-ho, head of the Gwangju City Sports Promotion Department, said, “We are working to normalize the situation by starting detailed design for the drainage construction of the soccer center."

He added, “Gwangju FC is supporting 10 billion won per year for the secretariat and players’ operating expenses, and a separate dedicated practice stadium is being built.”

“We are not considering additional construction,” he said.
