SK, The First H-League Champion, “We Will Create a ‘Dynasty’ Like Doosan”

“We will work hard with the goal of becoming an ‘SK dynasty,’ said coach Kim Gyeong-jin, who trained the women’s handball SK Sugar Gliders to become the inaugural champion of the women’s handball H-League division.”

SK defeated Samcheok City Hall 33-24 in the second game of the Shinhan SOL Pay 2023-2024 Handball H-League Championship (2 wins out of 3) held at SK Handball Stadium in Seoul on the 29th, becoming the champion with a series record of 2 wins and undefeated.

It is truly an overwhelming win. 바카라사이트

SK ranked first in the regular league with 18 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss.

In the championship game, they won by consistently playing a dominant game against their rival, Samcheok City Hall, who had advanced through the semi-playoffs and playoffs.

The powerful attack of SK's 'trio born in 1996' Kang Kyung-min, Kang Eun-hye, and Yoo So-jung will be difficult to block next season.

In men's handball, there is a saying, 'Udu'.

This means that Doosan will win anyway.

Doosan has won the championship every year in the SK Handball Korea League, the predecessor of the H-League, except for finishing second in 2014.

Doosan is the only ‘dynasty’ in Korean men’s handball.

Coach Kim, who held a press conference after the game, said, "We also want to strengthen the areas that need to be strengthened, develop well with the players, and create the title 'Dynasty'.

We will try our best with the goal of becoming 'SK Dynasty'" said.

Coach Kim also confessed to Samcheok City Hall that the championship game would have been more difficult if there had been no injuries or physical problems.

He said, "Samcheok is always a difficult team.

Their organization is very good," and "(Samcheok) came together while they were physically far away, and there were injuries in Samcheok, so I think we benefited in that respect."

The domestic handball professional league has been running as the SK Korea League since the 2011 season, but last year, with the intention of launching a professional league, it was converted to the H League and played its first season.

Coach Kim said, "The league seems to have become more active in many ways, including media exposure.

As the popularity of the league increases, players must also show good skills.

As players make efforts to improve themselves, the launch of the H-League will help players improve their skills."

“I think the result will be an improvement in their skills,” he said.

‘Transfer student’ Kang Kyung-min is worth mentioning as the ‘biggest contributor’ to SK’s victory.

Kang Kyung-min is a special player who was selected as the best player (MVP) of the regular league three times as a member of the Gwangju Urban Development Corporation until last season.

Kang Kyung-min, who had received numerous awards such as MVP and top scorer, but was unable to secure the championship title, relieved his sorrow on this day.

Kang Kyung-min was also selected as the MVP of the championship game.

Kang Kyeong-min said, “I heard a lot before the season that SK would win, but I didn’t think we would win for granted,” and added, “I’m proud of the good results.”

Women's handball, which has begun to attract public attention through the H-League, is scheduled to be in the spotlight in July.

This is because it is the only ball team sport participating in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

However, a difficult match is expected as they are placed in Group A with strong teams such as Norway, Germany, Slovenia, Sweden, and Denmark.

Kang Kyeong-min said, “I don’t know if I will go to the Olympics or not because I am not feeling well, but I think the athletes who go will do their best and do well.”
