He plays with a coupling ring on his basketball shoes that cannot be worn during the game. It is a meaningful love story between two people.

This spring, there was a couple who achieved a combined championship. The main characters are Asan Woori Bank’s Go Ara (35, 180cm) and Anyang Cheongkwanjang’s Bae Byeongjun (33, 191cm).

First, Go Ara’s Woori Bank lifted the trophy by winning the WKBL combined championship in the 2022-2023 season. Next, Bae Byung-jun’s Jeong Kwan-jang (formerly KGC) achieved the 2022-2023 KBL combined championship, earning the title of the first combined winning couple.

The two entered the world of 스포츠토토 newlyweds by getting married in May of this year, but due to off-season preparations, they did not spend as much time together as other couples. Still, they expressed their love in their own way and certified that they were a lovebird couple. Go Ara appeared at the stadium to watch Bae Byung-jun’s practice game on her day off, and Bae Byung-jun sent a coffee truck to Woori Bank’s practice gym to commemorate their 700 days together last July.

Both are busy as the season begins. Still, the deep affection between the two could be seen at the stadium.

On the 24th, Go Ara laced up her basketball shoes before the game against Yongin Samsung Life Insurance. I saw something shiny between the laces of my basketball shoes. A wedding ring.

Go Ara said, “This season, my husband competed first by playing in the Jones Cup and EASL (East Asian Super League). He wore a ring during the game. So he promised to wear a ring and play together starting this season. “I feel like I have more energy when I run with it on,” he said with a laugh.

The ring is not the only thing that Go Ara receives from her husband’s strength while she is away. Go Ara said, “She wears three-quarters tights, which have number 23, her husband’s uniform number written on them. “She wants to cheer up her husband, so she wears tights with the number 23 written on them,” she added.

As expected from last season’s winning couple, Go Ara and Bae Byungjun’s team is doing well. Woori Bank is in first place with six consecutive wins in the opening game, and Cheong Kwan-Jang is in fourth place with nine wins and five losses. Unfortunately, Bae Byung-jun suffered a hamstring injury on the 19th and will be out for 4 weeks.

Go Ara said, “It hurts me to be sick, but I hope my husband stays healthy and does well. I’m worried because there are a lot of minor injuries at the beginning of the season. “But I’ve improved a lot now, so I believe I’ll do well when I return,” he said with a smile.
