When asked about his goal for the future, Junhyeok Moon said, “I want to become a player who puts in a lot of effort even though I am lacking right now.” “(This year) I want to be 190cm tall (laughs). This is because it is easier to play under the basket if you are taller. Realistically, it is difficult for us to win, and we aim for the semifinals in this tournament.”
