Jeong Hyeon (180cm, F), the forward of the high school girls' team, has a favorite compliment.

Soongui Girls' High School, where Chung Hyun played, beat Suwon Girls' High School 70-67 after a close match in the preliminary match of the high school girls' team at the 2024 National Men's and Women's Middle and High School Competition held at Gimcheon National Sports Center in North Gyeongsang Province on the 5th. Soongui Girls' High School, which recorded two wins in the preliminary round, confirmed its advance to the finals as No. 1 in Group D.

Although Sungui Girls' High School was expected to dominate in terms of objective power, Suwon Girls' High School was also not an easy opponent. Soongui Girls' High School, which was pushed back in the second half of the match, allowed its opponent to tie in the fourth quarter, but laughed without losing concentration until the end.

The biggest contributor to Chung's victory was by far. While playing full-time (40 minutes), Chung had 34 points, 18 rebounds, and two steals, and added three more blocks.

Chung Hyeon, who is considered the team ace and the biggest forward for this year's high school girls' team, showed off his presence with a shot following a decisive block shot.

"I never thought I would pass the group league first. I'm so happy to win. Today's game was tough on the opponent's height, and I'm sad that I gave up an easy point because I couldn't play well in the backcourt," Chung told reporters after the match.

Chung led his team to victory with a decisive block shot and an outfielder in the final minutes of the game. Reflecting on the moment, Chung said, "I didn't expect the last three-point shot I threw would go in. I was fortunate to have entered the game, and I thought I had to take one more step to block the block shot situation, which resulted in a good result."

Chung, who is participating in the WKBL rookie draft this year, is classified as the biggest player among forwards. If a team needs a forward, it will be difficult to overlook Chung's talent.

"I have no desire to be No.1. There are more players who are better than me, and each team will have different players they want. However, if you pick any team, I will do my best," Chung said.

Jung Hyun, whose role models are Kim Dan-bi (Asan Woori Bank) and Park Ji-hyun, also resembles Kim Dan-bi in his play style.

"When I hear that Kim Dan-bi and I play similar in style, I feel good. I like the compliment because I gained confidence."

Finally, he left the stadium with the words, "I want to return with good results as I made it to the finals."
