Kim Sun-hyung (36, 187cm) of "Flash Sun" has changed somewhere. He is preparing for the new season with items.
There are eye-catching elements in the recently released profile video of Seoul SK's 2024-2025 season. While the simple-designed profile photo uniform was well received by fans, Kim Sun-hyung wearing an arm sleeve also caught the eye.
Arm sleeve is a product that athletes wear both as functional and fashion items, but this is the first time Kim Sun-hyung has worn arm sleeve since his debut. Not only that, but he is constantly wearing it in practice matches.
When asked about this, Kim said, "It's cold as I get older. That's why I got to wear an item all of a sudden." "I think it's my first time to use it since I started playing basketball. People around me think it's awkward, but they have to adapt (laughs). Some players wear it for psychological stability, and I also feel that it's good to wear it."
Kim Sun-hyung has already become a veteran in his 14th season since his debut, but his presence on the court remains. He was also named the second regular league MVP in the 2022-2023 season. However, SK and Kim Sun-hyung also had a deep regret last season. He failed to advance to the championship game for the first time since Jeon Hee-chul took office, and Kim Sun-hyung also played only 35 games due to the aftermath of the national team's transfer and minor injuries.
"I am steadily improving my condition. I think I can achieve 100 percent if I win the KBL Cup. I am okay (laughs) except that I am still jetlagged after returning from training in Japan," Kim Sun-hyung said. "If I regain SK's form, I think my performance will naturally follow."
The KBL Cup will be held on October 5. Although it is an event format, the KBL Cup will be held one week before the opening of the season, and hence one can gauge the strength of each team. It is also helpful in predicting the outcome of the season. Except for Suwon KT in 2022, all the winners of the KBL Cup have made it to the playoffs. SK won the KBL Cup in 2021 and Busan KCC won the championship last year.
"This is a competition where you can gauge how well we have prepared for the offseason. There are only a few days left until the opening of the KBL Cup, so we will faithfully prepare for the regular season 스포츠토토," Kim Sun-hyung said, renewing his commitment.
Meanwhile, SK has been assigned to Group D with Wonju DB. Both teams will have two showdowns to advance to the semifinals.
