Hyeji An: "Aiming to Be the Ultimate Team Player and the Best Defender"
BNK Financial Group (Chairman Bin Daein), as the leading financial institution in the Busan and Gyeongnam regions, has developed the BNK Some Women's Professional Basketball Team not just as a sports team, but as a source of pride for the local community.
Since its founding, BNK Financial Group has provided consistent support and has been a steadfast sponsor throughout the team's growth and championship journey.
BNK Financial Group's management philosophy of "growing together with the community" is naturally reflected in a variety of programs and the operation of the BNK Some team, including social contribution activities through sports, the promotion of women's sports, and support for local youth athletics, creating a strong synergy.
Hyeji An, the team's key guard, expressed her strong determination ahead of the new season, stating, "Rather than focusing on personal records, I want to be a player who perfectly fulfills the role that the team and organization desire." As the starting guard of the defending champions, she added, "This season, I want to be recognized as the best defender on the team."
To maintain unwavering performance, An shared her mental routine, which includes self-affirmations such as "Everything is okay," "This is my playground," and "If it doesn't work, make it work." She smiled as she explained that during games, she keeps her focus by neatly folding towels.
BNK Financial Group is providing comprehensive support to foster BNK Some as a brand asset that grows with the region, including improving the home game environment, supporting the team, operating youth basketball programs, and promoting the local sports culture. These efforts are creating a stable environment where players can fully focus on their abilities, greatly contributing to the team's achievements and laying the foundation for future championships.
Hyeji An commented, "I believe our team receives so much love because of BNK. We play with the support of the local community and fans, and with BNK always backing us, I want to create another miracle this season. I will give my all on the court."
