Park Jung-eun, who leads the BNK Sum Women's Professional Basketball Team, will receive the Leader's Award in recognition of her contribution to the development of women's sports.
BNK Financial Group announced that head coach Park Jung-eun will receive the Leader Award at the Yoongok Kim Management Women's Sports Awards held at Parktel in the Olympics in Seoul on the 26th.
The Yoongok Kim Un-yong Women's Sports Awards was established in 1989 by the late Kim Un-yong, vice chairman of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), for the successful hosting of the 1988 Seoul Olympics and the development of Korean women's sports.
Since taking over as BNK manager in March 2021, Park Jung-eun has been praised for improving the constitution of the team that has remained at the bottom and enhancing its competitiveness. In particular, she was the first female coach from the Korean Women's Professional Basketball (WKBL) to advance to the playoffs and achieve both the runner-up and championship in the championship game.
BNK said, "The team was able to grow with coach Park Jung-eun's leadership and continued support at the group level," adding, "We will continue to support the team to focus on improving its performance in the future."
BNK, led by head coach Park Jung-eun, has recorded 10-8 losses this season, continuing its competition to advance to the playoffs as the league's sole third-place player.
