□ Player's Comment
"I was only here for a short year, but I am grateful for all the support. Despite being given the opportunity to play in matches, I couldn't contribute to victories as much as I would have liked, and I feel sorry for that. However, I believe I have gained a lot in this past year and I want to use this experience to move forward. Thank you very much to everyone who supported me."
