Coach Jeong-eun Park of Busan BNK, the women’s professional basketball team, set the goal of advancing to the championship game in the 2024-2025 season by recruiting free agents (FA) Hye-jin Park and Sonia Kim.
BNK, which was in last place in the 2023-2024 season, strengthened its power by recruiting FAs Hye-jin Park and Sonia Kim simultaneously on the 18th.

Sonia Kim, who played for Incheon Shinhan Bank and ranked 5th in scoring (16.5 points), is already considered a dark horse for the 2024-2025 season.
Coach Park Jeong-eun, who took charge of BNK in 2021, led the team to the playoffs in his first season, and finished runner-up in the championship match in the 2022-2023 season.
BNK moved to Bucheon Hana 1Q after Jinan, the goal agent, became a free agent, but the outlook for the 2024-2025 season is rather bright.
There are many factors left to strengthen the team, including the addition of Park Hye-jin and Sonia Kim, as well as the Asian quota, first-choice rookie selection, and the nomination of compensation players following the Jinan transfer.
Coach Park Jeong-eun said on the 19th, “I never thought about recruiting free agents, but I am grateful that good players chose our team.”
He added, “Park Hye-jin plays a leader role on the court, and when Sonia Kim adds strength from the outside, she is powerful on the offensive side.”
“I expect it to be twice that,” he said.
He said, “Park Hye-jin is a player who has played only at Woori Bank for a long time, and as she is a star raised by coach Wi Sung-woo, whom I respect, I feel a sense of responsibility to help this player finish his career well.”
And added, “Because she is from Busan, our team has a short club history.
He predicted that he could become a symbolic player in the future.”
Regarding Sonia Kim, he predicted, “Last season, Sohee Lee almost took charge of the team’s outskirts, but if Sonia Kim and Hyejin Park add their strength, the offensive side can become more refreshing.”
