The biggest story of the KBL’s free agency (FA) market, which ended last month, was undoubtedly the signing of Oh Se-geun, 36, to Seoul SK. After leading Anyang KGC to the title in the 2022-2023 season and winning the Playoffs (PO) Most Valuable Player (MVP) award, the fact that he was leaving the team he had been with for 12 years was enough to send shockwaves through the league. It was also an issue that he would be reunited with Kim Sun-hyung (35), who wrote the myth of the 52-game winning streak when they were students at Chung-Ang University, in a professional team.안전놀이터
On the 8th, Oh and Kim held a joint press conference at the KBL Centre in Sinsa-dong, Seoul. They arrived at the KBL Centre early and had lunch together, and even during the press conference, they showed off their “chemistry” as close friends.
Kim started off by saying, “I’m Kim Sun-hyung, who’s happy that Oh Se-geun came to SK.” “I think it’s even better to be here with (Kim) Sun-hyung,” Osechun responded. “We have memories, good memories, from when we were kids. We can be together again. Even though I’m a little older, I think I can play better (than in college),” he said of playing on the same team in the professional stage. Kim Sun-hyung said, “There is a sense of companionship with (Oh) Se-geun. It’s like a close-knit family reunited after living apart. We have our own story. I think there’s romance in it,” he smiled.
After playing for 12 years with the same team, Oh has to adapt to his new team. He doesn’t have to worry too much, though, because he has SK captain Kim Sun-hyung by his side. After the press conference, the two exchanged stories about commuting times and distances, how to avoid traffic on weekend games, and changing cars.
