Cheongju KB Stars Park Ji-soo (29), who strongly protested against the referee during the game, and Kim Wan-soo (49), who expressed dissatisfaction with the decision at a press conference later, were disciplined.

The WKBL (Korea Women's Basketball Federation) announced on the 8th, "We held a financial committee on the actions of KB Stars player Park Ji-soo and head coach Kim Wan-soo in the game between KB Stars and Hana Bank on December 28."

In a match between the two teams at Cheongju Gymnasium on the same day, Park Ji-soo strongly protested the referee's decision. There was contact with Hana Bank's Jinan during the rebound contest at around 1:19 of the fourth quarter, which the referee considered as a normal play. Jinan, who won the offensive rebound, scored under the basket.

Then Park Ji-soo, who claimed it was a foul, strongly protested. The staff came out and stopped him in a hurry, but Park Ji-soo turned around again and expressed something dissatisfaction toward the court. Later, after KB Stars lost 72-81, head coach Kim Wan-soo made remarks that seemed to object to the decision at the losing press conference.

As for Park Ji-soo, the WKBL said, "We will impose 500,000 won in fines for acts that go against sportsmanship, such as continuously complaining about the referee's decision and leaving the bench." As for manager Kim, he announced, "We will impose a fine of 1 million won on the case of public criticism of the referee."
