After the match, Sim Joo-eon looked back on the game, saying, “The opponent was a fast-paced and solid team, so I had to come out nervous.

He then hinted at his goal, saying, “I’ve never been to the quarterfinals, so my goal is to make it to the quarterfinals. I want to go up one step and get good results.”
