The men's professional basketball Seoul SK Knights had a special time with their fans. On the 24th, the SK team and 200 fans held a fan meeting at Yangji Gymnasium in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do, for the 「Summer Story with Fans」. An SK team official held an in-person certification event for the 2024-2025 season. We invited the top 200 people who did a lot of intuitive certification to express their gratitude. It was time to eat and talk with the coach, coaching staff and the team", he explained. There was a great deal of interest. Online, there were a lot of articles asking for the transfer of participation tickets. A club official hinted that "In order to proceed fairly and transparently, we have gone through a procedure to verify the actual identity of the ID card." SK manager Jeon Hee-chul, who faced fans for the first time in a long time, said "I'm always grateful to the fans. I wanted to meet you sooner after the season.... It was really nice to meet you."
SK aimed 'exceeded' its goal in the 2024-2025 season. Even before the opening, he was evaluated as 'uncertain to advance to the semi-finals (PO)' However, he unexpectedly won the regular league championship. In the championship match, he was unfortunately runner-up with 3 wins and 4 losses after a bloody battle with Changwon LG.
A new season change has been predicted. Kim Sun-hyung, who has played as the core of the team, left for Suwon kt. Instead, Alvin Tolentino, Daryl Monroe and Kim Nak-hyun, former members of the Philippines national team, joined. It's not an easy situation. Coach Jeon said, `Some of the players who played as the main players are changing. That doesn't mean we're going to change the team color. Of course, it is true that there is no (Kim) linearity, so it is not easy to speed up. However, the existing speed must be saved"Last season ended late. I started training really late. Jamil Warney came to Korea only on the day of the fan meeting due to the flight boarding issue."
Moreover, SK will play the East Asian Super League (EASL) as well as the new 2025-2026 season league. Jeon said, `Existing players such as Warney are well positioned. The new face is also capable of being put in immediately. Compared to last season, the number of available players has also increased. I have to organize well.'
SK will go on a training trip to Japan and Taiwan in September. Coach Jeon said, `Tolentino has good offense, but he still lacks defense. I'm trying to lessen the defensive burden. He can also raise Ahn Young-joon to No. 2 (shooting guard). You have to do a lot of testing. Physical time is tight. We need to decide on the best lineup, squad, etc. quickly"I promised my fans that I would work harder for the upcoming season. I think it's going to be a difficult season, but I have to get through it. I've overcome a lot of hard times. I'll do my best."
