Among these, those who introduced themselves with MBTI, an area of ??interest for people in their teens and twenties, and conveyed their determination as new players, stood out.
Hyosung Girls" High School forward Kim Jeong-eun, who was selected to wear Busan BNK"s uniform as the second overall pick, expressed gratitude to club officials, family, and teachers, and pledged, "My MBTI is INFJ, and I will work hard even if I go to the pros."

Bundang Management High School forward Park Da-won, who was ranked 5th overall and joined Kim Jong-un at BNK, also mentioned MBTI.
Park Da-won said, “I am a very F, but I will become a very T and become a player who doesn’t cry a lot and works hard.”
F, a feeling type, generally has a high emotional index based on empathy, and T, a thinking type, is known to have a personality that considers rational aspects more than emotions compared to F.
Sungeui Girls" High School guard Kim Soo-in, who was selected by Yongin Samsung Life Insurance in the third round of the second round, also pledged, "I am timid because I am an ISFP, but I will show my passion on the court."

Kim Sol, a forward from Hwabon High School who became a member of Asan Woori Bank as the first pick in the second round, boldly said, "I"m lucky. You
can think of it as a lucky draw (by the club)." Not to be outdone, Seo Jin-young, the center of Sunil Girls" High School who was ranked 4th in the second round and wore the Incheon Shinhan Bank uniform , also predicted a "lucky battle" in the new season, saying,
"I am the luckiest among the 28 people. I would like to say that I am the luckiest."
