Song Jung-woo, who looked back on last season, recalled, "My college league debut was a lot late. I took two years off. So I thought a lot about the plays I played in the past. Compared to that, there were many disappointing plays. In particular, there were many plays using the screen, which is my strength, so it didn't come out. Still, I'm grateful to be able to come back."
The best strength of Song is his fighting spirit. "He is a type that is absolutely necessary for our team. (Song) Jung-woo has great fighting spirit compared to his height. He also has good defense. He is an essential player for his team. His team's average height has increased as well," said Ko Seung-jin, manager of Sangmyung University.
Song Jung-woo also said, "My strength is that I can play poorly. I am confident in that. Shooting can have ups and downs. However, inclement things can be done if you want to.

In addition, Song Jung-woo can play both inside and outside. He had an average 3-point shooting success rate of 35 percent in the last season as well. "I am a player who can shoot. I can also break through. I am confident in playing on the screen. When it comes to offense, I can attack both inside and outside," he said, explaining his strength in offense.
With the addition of Song Jeong-woo, who can play with Choi Jeong-hwan (198 cm tall, C) and Choi Jun-hwan (196 cm tall, F), Sangmyung University has seen their average height increase. "There has always been no big man in the team. That's why I played defense in the center a lot. The biggest player in opposing teams also blocked me a lot. I will be able to play with big men next season. I am so grateful. (Laughs) I think the key is breathing. We need to work together to prepare well during the winter season. We need to create synergy with each other."
Afterwards, when asked about the goal of the winter training, he said, "I want to play more selflessly. I want to save my teammates, not see my offense first. In particular, I want to improve my teamwork with big men. And the coach told me to make good use of the mismatch. I am also practicing post-up to save the mismatch."
Finally, he said, "The biggest goal of next season is obviously to advance to the playoffs. (Laughs) I didn't win much last season 토토사이트. So I want to win more next season. I think the membership is better than last year. The team atmosphere is really good. I want to win as much as possible. Above all, I hope everyone doesn't get hurt. I will do my best to make a good season."
