Actually, this is the first time I’m talking about it, but (Moon) Jung-hyun was good at studying in elementary school and was vice president of the whole school.”

Suwon KT Moon Jung-hyun, who entered the professional league as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 KBL Rookie Draft, is breathlessly adapting to the professional league. He was selected as a member of the national team at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games and was evaluated as a versatile forward, but it is true that he is not easy.레모나토토 도메인

Moon Jung-hyun plays the most time among 2023 rookies, but his record is not good. He played an average of 16 minutes and 46 seconds in four games, recording 1.3 points and 2.5 rebounds. He is also busy building up his experience by participating in the D League and enhancing his sense of play.

What was the reason Moon Jung-hyun started playing basketball. When he was an elementary school student, Moon Jung-hyun was an exemplary student with good companionship to the extent that he studied well and served as vice president of the whole school. That’s why parents opposed the dream of becoming a basketball player.

On October 28, Moon Jung-hyun’s mother Park Young-hee said, “When (Moon) Jung-hyun first said he was going to start playing basketball, there was a lot of conflict. Actually, this is the first time I’m talking about it, because I was good at studying and vice president of the whole school when I was in elementary school. But not long after taking over as vice president of the whole school, he said he wanted to be a basketball player and asked me to transfer to a school with an elite basketball team. So I talked about the conditions of not studying and maintaining my grades. I thought I’d quit soon, but he kept doing it until the end. So I moved and transferred without completing my entire term as vice president of the whole school. Then I started playing basketball properly,” he explained.

Park Young-hee was not able to attend the scene when Moon Jung-hyun was called first in the draft. At that time, he had surgery for a leg injury and was recovering at the hospital. After being nominated first, Moon Jung-hyun said, “Mother, who will be watching at the hospital, you must be crying right now, so don’t cry. Now I’ll make you happy and make you earn a lot of money,” he said.

Park Young-hee said, “I don’t have a daughter. But Jung Hyun and Yoo Hyun (Korea University) are both kind children like daughters. He listens to me really well until now. Actually, I couldn’t go to see a competition since middle and high school. I thought I’d go to see more if I went to the pro, but I couldn’t attend because I hurt my leg just before the draft. But Jung Hyun told me my story. Thank you. Now that I’m on a show, I’m going to cheer for you more. I hope you do well,” he said.

The elementary school student who studied so well that it was a waste to play basketball became an adult and eventually became a basketball player. Now, I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of player he will grow into in the professional world.
