Chapter 64 - Exhibition Table (End of Volume 8)

The ATP500 Seoul opened, the first day in Korea to be held. The auditorium of NK Son Sudan, located near Jamsil Bon-dong, Songpa-gu, was crowded with crowds. They are none other than sports newspapers and broadcasters

It was reporters.

Among them were GBC sports journalists, Kim Woo-bin and Lim Jong-gil, who had come to cover the Tokyo Open in the past. They gossiped in a small voice as they watched the partners filling the auditorium.

"Hey, look over there. Isn't that Shinwook Lee of sports consideration?

"Uh, really. Originally, wasn't Hwang Young-ho reporter over here? Did you have any greetings? "

"I heard a rumor that I was asking for an interview, but it was cut and made. It's less of a human personality. "

"It's a causal reward."

They took time to settle down with their usual business partners. It would have been more fun if Hwang Young-ho had known that he had been rude to Han Woo-jin, the hero of the interview.

Some greeted each other after a long time. Reporters in charge of the tennis sector rarely stayed in Korea. Except for Kim Hyung, there were no players to cover and the level of the tournament was not high.

Nowadays, you can watch ATP leagues held on the other side of the world. There were never a lot of people who would spend time in domestic Futures or Challenger League, where the sights didn't change. So you'll have to wander abroad looking for something more appealing.

SBC Sports reporter Ahn Hyung-joon, who reported the winner of the Argentine Open in a supportive week, was one of them. Rather than talk to his acquaintances, he wandered around the auditorium.

"I didn't know that this would be a place in Korea. I thought it would be another 10 years. "

He was really surprised. Ahn Hyung-joon was able to put it on the same line as Kim Sang-pil, if he had a career.

However, even in the news of the opening of the ATP500 Seoul Open, the soles of the fire burned and forced to return home. It was one of the biggest scoops in the 2000s.

The Seoul Open could have been the biggest event in history for Korean tennis. It was the first time an ATP league came in, and it was big that it was 500, not 250. In addition, the Jamsil Olympic Tennis Stadium, which President Cho added to his own expenses, has been a hot topic for a long time.

It's been a while.

'I heard that the chairman of NK C & T was a tennis buff, but ... I could invest on this scale.'

In fact, the first contributor to the Seoul Open was Chairman Cho.

If it had not been built in the first place, it would not have passed the rigorous standards brought by the ATP panel, and his unwavering enthusiasm bore fruit. The stadium has been expanded to accommodate more than 10,000 people.

I was proud of it.

But it would not have been possible to open Seoul today without a second contributor. The second contributor was the god who made him look back on Korea, which had been treated as the rim of tennis.

"··· Hanwoojin."

Within two years of his debut, Korea's super rookie has ranked 54th in the world. It's been a long time since the start of the season, and two big ATP250 league champions.

If they continue to accumulate points as early as possible, they still have time to enter the seed field as early as the French Open and at the latest Wimbledon Championships. You can win the right to step into a grand slam.

'Kim Sang-pil, I should've known it since when he took his eyes.'

Ahn Hyung-jun had a few tastes while watching Kim Sang-pil sitting in a distant place. It was hard to say that Kim Sang-pil had no connection with Hanwoo-jin, who took several exclusive interviews. Now it is obvious that there is no income to come late.

In addition, Han Woo-jin was on the rise. A creature called Giza is weak to the strong and strong to the weak. If there is no room for pods, they bowed gently. Han Woo-jin, the leader of the scoop, caught the journalists' necks. Yum

I was glad to pick up a few words to throw altogether.

At that time, a calm woman's voice echoed on the outside wall of the auditorium, which was crowded by reporters.

[Oh, Mike test. one two.]

In a moment, the quiet eyes of reporters gathered in one place. There, on the platform just before the owner of the voice was standing.

It was a beautiful woman in a well-dressed black suit and a slightly twisted back. She looked around the hall a few times with a dim face, like a doll, and realized that her story had become a sound environment. I've been complaining about this time

The bearer could have arisen.

[Thanks to reporters for visiting NK ship carrier since early morning. Today's interview will be integrated for Hanwoojin's schedule, and each press will be given a total of three questions. If you defame or take provocative statements,

Please note that you may be sent off.

Most of the reporters who were quite old were unhappy, but they could not dispute it. This was because Hanwoojin was taking the lead. If he makes a backlash here and stops the interview, the hard work accumulated for the scoop will be futile.

The only way to get trafficked by the rest of the press is the bonus.

Did silence soon say yes?

After her talk, the reporters remained quiet, Shin Se-yeon dropped the microphone and took a step.

And at the same time, today's hero appeared.

[Hello. I'm Han Woojin, a professional tennis player of NK Sedan.]

The cameramen who were gathered on the outskirts raised the camera and set up a tripod. The flash bursts, creating a scene like any press conference. Sparkling flashes proved that dozens of pictures were taken per second.

Hanwoojin vomited his voice again, shedding the illusion that even though he was indoors.

[I will interview you for exactly 2 hours from now. Thank you for your cooperation. Please do not take pictures during the Q & A.]

It was the beginning of the interview.

* * *

"Han Woo-jin, are you participating in the ATP500 Seoul Open?"

The first question was brief and very natural. Had it been a long time, would someone who seemed to be a senior reporter smashing the head of the reporter who sat down after the question?

Han Woo-jin replied in relief that the difficult question did not come from the beginning. If you give a short answer in short answer, there is too much time left. Even if you think about the face was a little long to answer.

[Yes, we'll play. Already assigned to seed 9, the first round of the final round is the ninth.]

The auditorium in the auditorium was disturbed for a moment by the sound of a crunching pen and a burning notebook. The reporters, who did not miss a single letter of his answer, raised their hands again and threw themselves for the next question.

Soon after, a journalist who obtained the second question came up and asked again.

"You returned home as soon as you won the Brazilian Open. Is it because of this competition?"

[That's right. I received a request from the Squad and I accepted it. I think I'm a little ahead of the first ATP league in my country.]

In fact, he was informed after he was called.

But I could not say it straight away. Han Woo-jin made a plausible excuse with an uncomfortable feeling. If you've been writhing on your face, you've probably noticed something strange, but unfortunately, Hanwoojin is renowned for his facial management. The reporters just say yes and write their notebooks.

It was.

So many times questions and answers came and went. There were some common questions, some of them about privacy and some of those questions.

Among them, the questions that came about the doping test returned detailed answers. It was to completely block the room for anything later.

The Association has delivered apologies with proof of my complete absence. If you need to confirm, we can show you the document directly after the interview.

"Hmm, great. Okay. Sorry Hanwoojin. I think I made a noise. "

If you come out so confidently, I would be stumped from the side of the stab. The reporter, who asked questions, turned his eyes to the floor with a red complexion. Perhaps there are no more cards he can take out. Han Woo-jin turned to the eyes first when the winners and losers were clearly revealed. Next was to find a reporter to ask questions.

[A reporter wearing glasses with a red frame on the left?]

The journalist, who had been named, quickly got up from his seat and opened his mouth. Yet the voice was too thick, and even though the distance was quite loud, the speech was not shaken at all. I wanted to announce.

"Han Woo-jin is the only Korean in the first ATP league to be held in Korea this time. I wonder what it feels like."

In a way, it was an ordinary question. And expecting a plain answer and throwing it. As a Korean, it's because of my participation in this monumental competition. It's still a poor body, but why don't you do your best to show Korean pride? A question that requires that kind of answer

However, Han Woo-jin did not immediately answer and looked slightly at the auditorium.

They would not have come here in anticipation of a trivial answer. It is clear that the new generation, Hanwoojin, is looking forward to showing his aspirations. The spit-out answers couldn't move their minds.

'Let's throw at once.'

Han Woo-jin, who grabbed her heart, held the microphone with a strong hand. This was to prevent the microphone from shaking because the microphone was shaking.

[Not always different. In any competition in any country, I will compete as a professional tennis player and do my best to win the championship cup.]

This time it was the reporters to be drunk. They only knew how Hanwoojin would respond like any other player. He was also ATP500. It wasn't enough to take a championship cup. It would have been enough to just say that I would try.

The hand quickly rose, and another questioner got up.

"Han Woo-jin, do you know that Angie Roddick is willing to participate in the Seoul Open?"

[Yes. I know.]

The answer came back immediately. The reporter who threw rice cakes in anticipation of some reaction, sat down on the road with a blank face. It was Angie Roddick who sat on the throne before Roger appeared. After confirming the appearance of such a player, do you win the championship? It was hard to imagine.

However, Hanwoojin was one more drink there. He even raised the voice of other rankers.

[Not only Angie Roddick. Lobac Zoković, 11th, Cedric Burnett, 15th, and many other rankers knowing and participating in the Seoul Open.]

Yes. I knew it earlier. Angie Roddick, and Lobak Zoković. It is Hanwoojin who knows the true value of the enemies he will face. The future knowledge in my head remembered their potential, which they would have been unaware of. If you had more fear than other players

I added, he could not be less.

Nevertheless, Han Woo-jin's weak voice did not know that it would weaken.

[Player goes up the court to win. That's no exception, and no one has anything to do with it. Even if you're facing Roger, not Roddick, you'll win the racket with the intention of winning. And···]

It is such a player.

If you decide to win or lose before you fight, why do you need a substitute?

Even if you're at a disadvantage, even if you know your opponent is better than you. Those who did not understand it and burned their spirits deserved it.

I am stronger than you

To prove this one sentence, many players still wear different rackets today.

So this is an exit ticket.

It is a breakup from Hanwoo-jin, who was scared of the wide world and stuck in his back shell.

[··· This Seoul Open, I will win.]

So exactly three seconds after Hanwoojin finished speaking, hundreds of flashes burst out.
