Joo Ji-woo, who said, "I succeeded in a triple-double when I was an elementary school student," said, "It's my first time in middle school. After the game, I heard that I played a triple-double and found out. I was very nervous because it was my first game than a triple-double because I didn't pay attention to my usual records, and I was immersed in the game, but I felt better because I won."
Ju is the youngest son of legendary KBL guard Joo Hui-jeong (Korea University coach). He naturally became acquainted with basketball and was influenced directly or indirectly by his father. Ju Hui-jeong, Ju's father, has triple-double No. 8 in the KBL, ranking first among Korean players and second (No. 1 Albert White).
Joo said, "I naturally became friends with basketball when I was young. I still talk about basketball with my father." He also shared an interesting episode.
Joo Ji-woo said, "I remember watching Samsung games when I was young. One day, my team was losing by one point, but I couldn't do it in a situation where my father could make a layup shot with fast speed." "I'm sorry to my father, but I thought I could do better if I did it, and I started playing basketball," he said with a smile.
Every player's goal is to win. The same goes for Joo Ji-woo from Myongji Middle School, who inherited the desire to win.
"I exercised a lot during the winter training. There is no burden of physical strength," Joo said. "Our team has various styles of play, but we are a team with good teamwork and teamwork because our strengths are combined. Of course, my goal is to win the championship."
In addition to his outstanding basketball skills, Ju Ji-woo also boasts good looks. He received enough attention outside of basketball.
"I often hear about my appearance. But I want to become a player who attracts more attention in basketball," Joo said. "I haven't felt much about it yet, but I'm worried because my name and father will keep following me, but I'll try harder to become a good player."
