"Brothers love me so much (laughs). Since I am not a player who scores a lot, even a small amount of points tends to make me feel better. Whenever I do that, I feel proud," Kim Jin-yu said.
As mentioned earlier, head coach Kim said, "If I just make one 3-point shot..."I'll be happy if I score one in every game (laughs). I'm trying my best to do my best," Kim Jin-yu said.
Finally, he said, "I don't have any personal goals. I want to dedicate myself to help my team reach as high as possible. There is a role that I can play. I think this will be enough."
