In particular, Gasu-hyeong was selected as the number one national team player, proving that the Gwangyang City Hall bowling team is truly the best team in South Korea.

Additionally, Choi Bok-eum and Baek Jong-yoon competed with their best efforts but unfortunately had to settle for being national team reserves.

The Gwangyang City Hall bowling team (coach Lee Chun-soo), founded in April 1996, has consistently achieved excellent results, including sweeping all gold medals (five) at the 2018 National Sports Festival, and once again proved to be the top bowling team in the country through this national team selection.

Meanwhile, Jung In-hwa, mayor of Gwangyang City, said, "I am very proud of the team for achieving great results through hard work despite difficult training conditions, and I thank them for raising the prestige of Gwangyang City."
