Although I joined mid-season as a special designated player, I was supported by my teammates, the staff, and the fans who came to the games. Thank you very much. I gained a lot of experience on the B.League stage for the first time. Every day, whether we won or lost, has become my asset. I am only just at the starting line. I will continue to grow to show you my future progress.
