Veteran guard Kim Sun-hyung (38) of Suwon KT has vowed a strong revival next season, leaving behind his first season of injury-plagued transfer.

KT finished the season by beating Goyang Sono 76-72 in the final game of the 2025-2026 LG Electronics' professional basketball regular league at KT Sonicboom Arena in Suwon on the 8th. Although he failed to advance to the semifinal playoff, he kept his pride by matching his winning percentage of 50% (27 wins and 27 losses) with the final victory.

Kim Sun-hyung, who met with reporters after the game, said, "Thanks to the fans who supported me until the end and the players who played until the end, I was able to finish with a 50% win rate."

It was a particularly harsh time for Kim Sun-hyung this season. Kim Sun-hyung, whose strength is his unique explosive speed, bold breakthrough and creative pass, but his heel injury during the season hampered him. He proved to be strong until the first round, but he was out of power for the last time against Busan KCC on November 8. After a long rehabilitation, he returned to the game against Wonju DB on February 1, but failed to lead KT to the playoffs in the end.

The aftermath of the injury was also evident in the records. Kim Sun-hyung, who played a career average of 30 minutes and 38 seconds with 13.1 points and 4.7 assists, played in 30 games this season and averaged only 25 minutes and 35 seconds, 9.8 points and 3.4 assists. In particular, even the average one-steal record, which has never been missed since its debut, closed at 0.9 this season, recording less than one for the first time.

Kim Sun-hyung said, "The season is over now that it's worth running around a little bit. So it's even more regrettable," he said. "I think the season ended after the main players were injured and matched their hands and feet. But this is also an excuse. As the season ended quickly, the time to prepare for the next season has increased. I will check my physical condition quickly and take good care of the offseason," he said.

Kim Sun-hyung, who played 14 seasons since his debut with Seoul SK in 2011-2012, transferred to KT before this season and spent his first season. Kim Sun-hyung, who looked back on his first season after joining KT, said, "I started with half excitement and half worry, and I have a lot of good memories in the first round. "I'm most sorry that I left for a long time without being able to fully match the players," he said. "I'm really grateful to the fans who supported me in a new place."

He also expressed his veteran confidence in his concerned gaze on the aging curve. Kim Sun-hyung said, "It's not 100% yet, but in the last four games, the speed of the past came out," adding, "If you know me, you won't worry. We will come back perfectly as we have enough time until next season," he stressed.

Finally, Kim Sun-hyung said, "Everyone from the coach to the youngest will be disappointed, but please look forward to it because I will appear with a good short hair." "I'm sorry I couldn't show spring basketball in my first season at KT." I will definitely show a different side of myself next season," he said.
