A spectacular talk party was held for the WK League representatives. Coaches and players alike' bold remarks stirred up the media day scene.

At the 2026 WK League Media Day held at Athens Hall on the fourth floor of the Olympic Parktel in Seoul at 2 p.m. on the 1st, the Korean Women's Football Federation (KFA) made relentless revelations and witty surprise remarks against the head coach.

The most eye-catching part was one word in which the players defined their respective coaches. Kang Tae-kyung (Seoul Metropolitan Government) praised Yoo Young-sil as "Lee Jung-hyo (Suwon Samsung) coach of the women's soccer world" and said, "He is as passionate as Lee Jung-hyo and cares about the players."

Regarding coach Park Nam-yeol, who met for the first time this year, Jeon Eun-ha (Gyeongju KHNP) said, "At first, I thought he was a tiger coach, but when I stayed, he was completely a 'man to me'," causing laughter at the scene. Kim Min-jung (Incheon Hyundai Steel) also called coach Huh Jung-jae a "happy pacifist" and continued to reveal, "Unlike last year, the coach has become much brighter and is comfortable this year."

Lee Hyo-kyung (Kangjin), the first captain of the new team Gangjin, expressed her mettle, describing coach Ko Hyun-ho as "Pep Guardiola (Manchester City) full of soccer passion." On the other hand, Kwon Ha-neul (Sangmu) defined coach Lee Mi-yeon as a "charismatic older sister" and said, "You may be scared in the military, but you usually treat the players as gently as you do."

In the declaration of the championship pledge, there were a lot of big promises that even the general manager's wallet situation was discussed. Lee Hyo-kyung (Kangjin) said, "Our general manager has a lot of money," and made an unconventional pledge, "If we discuss it well and win, we will properly treat the fans who come to the stadium with Gangjin Korean beef."

Kim Do-yeon (Sejong Sports Toto) and Kwon Ha-neul (Sangmu) countered by saying, "We will prepare coffee cars and snack cars at our own expense."

The players' quirky and lively personal goals were also a hot topic. Kwon Ha-neul (Sangmu), who has a unique nickname of "bluespotted mud hopper on a rainy day," said, "When it rains, my mind becomes bright and excited. "It rained a lot this year, so I want to keep spraying red pepper powder because the opposing teams can't cross our threshold," he said.

Ji So-yeon (Suwon FC Women), who returned to the domestic stage and became the No. 1 target of all teams' vigilance, proved her class in her speech. Ji So-yeon said, "I rejected the offer of the captaincy at first," but added, "I am focusing on communicating with the players and leading the bond."

"When I was in Japan, I wore a uniform in front of the station and turned flyers," he said of the crowd's success. I'm ready to do anything if necessary," he said, expressing the urgency for the league's success.

In addition, the players encouraged fans' intuition, saying, "Women's soccer has an unbreakable charm once you see it," and "It has the fighting spirit and cute fun as well as men's soccer."
