◇ Full text of Yun Ho-young’s retirement speech
Hello, this is Hoyoung Yoon.
While playing for the past 16 years, I experienced major injuries and faced life-threatening crises, but thanks to my loving family and fans who always supported me, I was able to enjoy basketball so far.
I don’t feel particularly bad right now, but when this season was over, rather than thinking about preparing for the next season, I naturally looked back on my past as a basketball player and thought that if I had to retire, now is the right time.
After deciding to retire, I couldn’t play my retirement game, so I feel sorry and sorry for not being able to say my final goodbyes as a player on the court to the fans who have been cheering me on so far. 온라인카지노
I started my professional life at DB Promy and stayed with one team until now, received a lot of attention and love from many fans, experienced the regular league championship, national team glory and regular league MVP award, and there was a time when I really enjoyed playing basketball. I don’t think there is any regret as a player.
I can no longer show you basketball player Yun Ho-young, but as a leader, I want to do my best to give back the support I received from many people with a new look. Please give lots of support to leader Yun Ho-young.
In particular, it was reassuring because there were Wonju fans who cheered more passionately than anywhere else. And thank you, Yunpam. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me so much interest and love, and I will remember all the precious times I spent with many people as a basketball player. Thanks to the fans, I played basketball happily.
Thank you.
