Jung Hyun-gyu“I still regret how I played last season”
At a glance
- Last season he thought winning by any means was all that mattered and didn't think enough about viewers. He says he still regrets it.
- He came back to fix what he lacked and prove himself again.
- He named Jang Dong-min as the player he most wanted to face.
Why he came back
After his win there was a lot of talk and some hard moments. He said he thought about it a lot afterward, and that his immaturity hurt viewers and other people.
This time, too, he played to win among very strong players.
The only one in white on the poster
The dress code was black and white (monotone), same as last season. By chance he was the only one in white while the other 15 all wore black. The production team said it isn't a hidden spoiler.
