It brings back memories of our school days together.

“At that time, I was so tall now, and I was tall and bulky, and it felt a bit like this, but now I’m a lot taller… <hahaha.>” [Kim Su-ji/Heungkuk Life Insurance] “(The height)
was
a lot different. Joe. Below one shoulder?”
[Kim Yeon-kyung/Heungkuk Life Insurance]
“I think I really fit in here. It seems like Suzy was following me around.”
[Kim Su-ji/Heungkuk Life Insurance]
“When you put your shoulders together, it’s not like a normal shoulder-to-shoulder, but a downward shoulder-to-shoulder.”
The two players have only met as opposing teams since the 2005 draft.

“It feels elegant. Hyundai Engineering & Construction (which nominated Kim Su-ji) felt elegant at the time. It won many championships.”
[Kim Su-ji/Heungkuk Life Insurance]
“With the Kim Yeon-kyung effect, (new players now) are not saying, ‘I want to come to Heungkuk Life Insurance.’”

“I know that we are the team with the most (championship메이저놀이터) stars, 4. Isn’t that kind of pride also present in our team?”
We are reunited after 18 years and now we dream of the day when we will reach the top together.

“It’s for broadcasting, too.”

“I want to win the combined championship. Star.”
[Kim Su-ji/Heungkuk Life Insurance]
“I want to weigh one more weight.”
“Go for it!!”
With four weeks remaining until the opening, Heungkuk Life Insurance entered the final stretch by using Kim Yeon-kyung and Kim Su-ji together in a practice match with JT Marvelous.
