Basketball coach Lee Sang-min revealed that he felt pressured by Seo Jang-hoon's sharp remarks.

On the 8th, Lee Sang-min, head coach of Busan KCC who achieved a miraculous championship by breaking through 0% odds, made his first appearance on a variety show.

That day, Lee Sang-min shared his struggles regarding winning his first championship in nine years as a coach last May, stating, "It doesn't seem easy for a coach to win a championship."

When Yoo Jae-suk mentioned that a super team was formed with national players Choi Jun-young, Heo Woong, Heo Hoon, and Song Gyo-chang at the core of the opening game, Lee Sang-min confessed, "We started with the goal of winning the overall championship, but injured players appeared from the very beginning. We went through a difficult season during the regular league."

Notably, he drew attention by revealing that he felt burdened by Seo Jang-hoon's affectionate yet harsh criticism.

He said, "There has never been a playoff as intense as this season. There were many difficult moments, but when Jang-hoon came and said, 'If you can't win with this team, I really won't be able to do it,' and added, 'You've played as a player too, but winning isn't something that happens easily, right?' while having experienced it only once himself." He expressed his frustration, drawing laughter.

He continued, "I'm always grateful. Even though you're busy, you watch the games and give feedback. It's said out of concern, but it puts pressure on me. If I can't win with such good players, I'll receive poor evaluations, so it was difficult."
