The KBA 3x3 Korea Tour 2024 Third Sejong Competition (hereinafter referred to as the "Korea Tour") is being held at the complex community center in Hamill-dong, Sejong Special Self-Governing City, starting Saturday. The competition, which features 66 teams of six different types, is being held in a place where basketball was not very close to each other.

For the first time ever, the Korea Tour could be held in Sejong thanks to the active roll-up of the head of the Sejong City Basketball Association, Kim Mi-sun. 안전 슬롯사이트

Chairman Kim Mi-sun, who is engaged in the construction industry, is a person who stands out for his power to push with a cheerful personality and the drive of "the female captain." Since Chairman Kim Mi-sun was appointed as the president of the Sejong Basketball Association in February 2021, Sejong has been gradually shedding his image as a barren basketball player and laying the foundation for growth. In June, he founded the Sejong Black Label 3x3 team, and is sincerely approaching the 3x3 team.

Chairman Kim Mi-sun, who is holding the Korea Tour for the first time, said, "I feel very different. When I assumed the chairmanship of the Sejong City Basketball Association, I had no contact with basketball at all. I worked tirelessly to get basketball to join the city sports association, but in just two years, I joined the city sports association officially, founded a 3x3 team, and even hosted the Korea Tour, a 3x3 competition that represents Korea."

"More than anything else, I am happy that the Sejong Black Label team will make its debut in Sejong, the home ground. Since winning the gold medal in the demonstration event of the National Sports Festival last year, there have been serious talks about the establishment of the Black Label team and the 3x3 team, leading to the establishment of the 3x3 team. I think it will be a good opportunity to promote Sejong basketball to other cities and provinces as well as the development of basketball in the Sejong area," he added.

In addition, Chairman Kim promised to actively seek the creation of elite teams along with efforts to expand the base of basketball in the region.

"Since taking the helm of the association, we have made several commitments. We have established a 3x3 team and hosted the Korea Tour. However, Sejong's basketball image is not strong nationwide yet. The number of youth basketball clubs is increasing in Sejong as the days go by. In line with this, the next goal is to establish an elite secondary school team with the aim of strengthening the base of basketball in the region. We will make efforts to establish an elite secondary school team within our tenure," said Chairman Kim Mi-sun.

The third Korea tour of the 2024 season has been successfully carried out thanks to the smooth progress of the tournament organizers and the wonderful plays of the participants, but there was one "octane tee." It was the weather. Initially, the association planned to hold the competition at the central square of Sejong Lake Park so that Sejong's landmark, Sejong Lake Park, and 3x3 can be harmonized well, but in accordance with the Korea Meteorological Administration's forecast that it will rain in the Sejong area on the weekend, the organization moved the venue to the Sejong Complex Community Center to hold the competition.

"Sejong's Mecca is Sejong Lake Park. It is regrettable that the competition could not be held in a beautiful court with lake park in the background," Kim said. "If the competition had been held outdoors, I would have been able to breathe with Sejong citizens. If the Korea Tour is to be held in Sejong next year, I would like to hold a competition in a sunny weather to let athletes know more about Sejong and make a competition where citizens can breathe together."
