Kim Eun-ji, a 19-year-old Go player from Wonik, has made a significant impact in the KB Baduk League this season, achieving an impressive 8 wins and 3 losses. Participating in a media day event on the 23rd, she represented her team alongside coach Lee Hee-seong, while key figures from the top four teams in the league were also present. Due to her strong performance, Kim has emerged as a star player, feared by her rivals, including the formidable Chinese player Yang Dingxin, whom she recently defeated. Coach Lee praised her progress, noting that she has grown significantly as a player, contributing greatly to her team's success this season.

In addition to her skills on the board, Kim has assumed a crucial role in building team morale. Coach Lee highlighted her ability to connect with teammates, contrasting her vibrant personality with the quieter nature of the other players. Her contribution both on and off the board is expected to influence the team's performance positively as they compete in the playoffs, especially since her team fell just short of victory last season. Kim's determination is palpable; she has stated her commitment to training hard and adapting to the fast-paced nature of the postseason, expressing a desire to play against her team's foreign recruits.

In a playful response regarding potential celebrations for fans if her team wins, Kim assured she would put on a show for them, indicating her strong connection with supporters. The stage is set for an exciting postseason as Kim and her team aim for glory in this prestigious Go league, driven by the memories of past near victories and the fervent support of their fans.
