According to the KCC club on the 9th, the team, including general manager Choi Hyung-gil and former manager Jeon, visited honorary chairman Ko Jeong\'s grave the previous day (8th).
After winning the championship with a total of 4 wins and 1 losses in the series with a victory in Game 5 of the Champions against Suwon KT on the 5th, coach Jeon said, "I am grateful to honorary chairman Ko Jeong for giving me the opportunity to coach when I was in need. 스포츠토토핫 I will visit you soon and say hello," but I kept the promise three days later.
Jeon bowed his head as he offered the trophy in front of honorary chairman Ko Jeong\'s grave.
During his lifetime, Honorary Chairman Chung spared no support to the basketball world.
Since the 2005-06 season, he has sponsored professional basketball titles five times and continued to invest in recruiting KCC players.
KCC\'s ability to build a stellar lineup, including Huh Woong, Lee Seung-hyun, Ra Gun-ah, Choi Jun-yong and Song Kyo-chang, was also the effect of the club\'s support, which has continued since honorary chairman Chung.
In particular, honorary chairman Chung has deep relations with Jeon. When he was given the KBL\'s indefinite disqualification for registration in 2015 for illegal sports gambling and match fixing while leading the Anyang KGC (currently head of the association), he suffered a serious setback in his career.
However, he returned to the basketball world as the head coach of KCC in July 2019 after being acquitted of illegal sports gambling and game manipulation, and was acquitted of simple gambling charges. At that time, it was Honorary Chairman Chung who held Jeon\'s hand.
Whenever Jeon had the opportunity in public, he said, "Chairman Chung is like a lifesaver. I want to return the favor by winning the championship."
Although Honorary Chairman Chung died in January 2021, KCC won the championship more than three years later, allowing the former coach to proudly hold the trophy and visit the grave.
Meanwhile, Jeon will continue to take charge of KCC until the 2024-25 season as agreed upon by his team. As fans demanded his resignation due to sluggish regular season, Jeon hinted at leaving the team at the end of this season.
However, it revived splendidly by defeating Seoul SK, Wonju DB, and KT in the playoffs, and the club also decided to fulfill the existing contract as public opinion rose that coach Jeon should continue to take charge of the team.
