Shinhan Bank snatches Hungary DVTK at Park Shin-ja Cup and becomes the first WKBL team to win the World Cup





Shinhan Bank showed face by catching an overseas invitation team for the first time among six WKBL teams three days after the opening of the Park Shin-ja Cup.

Shinhan Bank defeated Hungary's DVTK Hunterm 70-63 in the second Group B match of the '2025 BNK Financial Park Shin-ja Cup' held at Sajik Gymnasium in Busan on the 1st. Since the opening of the competition on the 30th, WKBL and teams invited from overseas have competed five times, and all overseas teams have won. In the midst of this, Shinhan Bank won the 6th match for the first time.




Shinhan Bank, which suffered a 51-96 defeat by Japan's Denso in the Group B match held on the 31st, continued its lead from the beginning with Choi Yi-sam's Sindlin outer gun. He allowed DVTK to score nine consecutive points at the end of the game, but he was chased by four points with 1:13 left in the end, but Shin Isul and Japanese player Hirano Mitsuki added free throws to secure the victory.

Choi Yi-sam led the victory with 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists, including 6 3-pointers, while Shin Yi-seul and Japanese center Mima Louie each supported them with 13 points. DVTK struggled with KB Stars' outer shot in the first round of the preliminary round and won 78-73 with the advantage of the rebound, but again on the day, it failed to properly prevent Shinhan Bank's outer shot attack, losing and losing 1-1.

However, except for Shinhan Bank, Samsung Life Insurance lost 57 to 68 to Japan's Fujitsu, the defending champion of the tournament, and Woori Bank lost 63 to 87 to Spain's Zaragoza. WKBL teams are now in the stage of raising their pace ahead of the opening of next season, and although veterans or key players have not fully joined, the level difference with overseas teams is revealed.




Hana Bank will play against Japan's Denso on the 4th day of the group qualifying round on the 2nd, followed by BNK and Samsung Life Insurance, and KB Stars and Shinhan Bank, each with 1 win and 1 loss.
