Kim Jong-un cuts the rim with a jump shot 25 seconds into the game.
8,141st point in his career!
It is a moment that exceeds Jeong Seon-min's personal record of scoring points, which has not been broken in 12 years.
[Kim Jeong-eun / Hana Bank forward, top scorer: There were a lot of crises between 7,000 and 8,000 points. I want to praise myself for overcoming that difficulty and achieving such a milestone.]
Kim Jong-un, who first took the professional stage in the winter of 2005, was the youngest in all 1,000-point records from 2,000 points to 8,000 points.
It wasn't spectacular, but it was named the "living legend" of women's basketball with its consistency of scoring double digits every season.
[Kim Jeong-eun / Hana Bank forward, top scorer: There were so many injury issues that I had difficulties in that area, so I don't think I neglected my body more than any other player in terms of physical care, rehabilitation or weighting.]
Kim Jong-un won the integrated championship twice during his time at Woori Bank to cool down his anger and win the championship MVP.
