Seong-Hyun Jeon is the best shooter in the league, continuing his record of 3 points in 76 consecutive games.

— Let me explain the situation yesterday.
▲ In a situation where each other was speeding up, Sungwoo was faster than me, so I bumped into him while trying to get ahead of him, and the steps got a bit twisted. As a result, the arm reflexively went out and contact was made. Some people say it’s a malicious foul, but that’s absolutely not the case. If it’s malicious, if the voice actor jumped, I’d go under him or hit him hard with my torso. Not quite as much as that.
— Some point out that there is a lot of regret in the behavior after the foul.
▲ In fact, I didn’t see Seong-woo’s (fallen) situation because I was looking at the bench after the foul. Then, the moment I looked at Seongwoo, Sungwoo approached me with a strong protest. I was embarrassed at the time because I was not aware of the situation in which the voice actor had fallen. This is the first time he has had an argument with an opponent on the basketball court, including his school days. I’m not a player who is rough or good at defense.
— If Jung Sung-woo had confirmed the situation where he had fallen out, he would have apologized right away, and does that mean it didn’t happen this big?

▲ Of course. It’s not like we only see each other on the court for a day or two, we’ve been working out together on the basketball court all the way through middle school, high school, and college. In a situation where a lot of fans are watching, what is there to gain (by acting without manners)? I think I suddenly got into a fight after not knowing the situation, and at the thought of ‘why is he doing this’, I was embarrassed and laughed. It is true that fans may misunderstand. It’s definitely my fault that I didn’t see the voice actor fall. If something seems to have happened, you should have checked it out.
— Did you solve it separately after the game with Jung Sung-woo?
▲ I called and said that I was sorry about yesterday’s situation, and Seong-wu also said that he was sensitive because he was recovering from an injury, and that he was not trying to confront his brother. We apologized to each other and it ended well.
— What do you want to say to your fans?
▲ It seems that there are many people who are disappointed that this happened. My response was wrong, and I will show you a good game by paying more attention so that I don’t see this kind of side in the future. I worked well with the voice actor, so I would be grateful if you could be generous with it.
