On April 24, Chosun University Gymnasium hosted a match between Chosun University and Myongji University.
Choi Myung-do, the coach of Gunsan High School, was on hand to support his student Kim Do-yeon, who is currently undergoing rehabilitation. When Choi Myung-do entered the gym, Kim Do-yeon rushed to embrace him.
Kang Yang-hyun, who leads Chosun University, played for the second team of the E-Land (now the D-League), while Kim Tae-jin Myung-ji played for the E-Land from the 2004-2005 season and has 11 years of coaching experience after retiring. He is the longest serving player in the organization.
Coach Choi Myung-do also played for the organization for three seasons. He even shared a room with Kang Yang-hyun during their time together.
With the common denominator of being from E-land, the three coaches decided to organize a group of former E-land coaches who are now playing professionally as well as amateurs. 스포츠토토
Coach Kim Tae-jin said, “We’ve been talking about getting together once in a while for a long time, but we didn’t have a center of gravity. This time, Coach Kang Yang-hyun asked us to do it. “I’m grateful that E-land ran the team during that time, and the players were grateful and had a lot of fun. So, it means that the players and officials who went through difficult times together can meet once a year to share memories.”
There are many OB organizations for high school and college players. A representative one is the Samnonghoe (Samsung alumni).
In the professional arena, the former players of E-Land, a historical name, are promoting a gathering to share memories.
