Coach Son Seung-mo said, “The Korea League is new, and I think it will be good because there are many opportunities for players in the COVID-19 pandemic era. I will show my fans a good side.” Coach Yu Gap-soo said, “We are a team that was founded in 2018 and won the Unemployment Federation match for the first time in five months. We played against Miryang City Hall in Namhae in November last year and lost 1-3, but this time, I will insult him.”
After the match between the two teams, the women’s Group A match between Siheung City Hall and Hwasun County Office continues.
The Unemployment Badminton Federation established the Korea Badminton League for the first time this year with the support of DB Group (500 million won per year).
