Cho Sang-yeol officially announced his retirement from the court. Cho Sang-yeol, who is leaving the court after the season at Korea Gas Corporation, expressed his gratitude to fans and the head coach.
Cho Sang-yeol, who wore the uniform of the Korea Gas Corporation (KGC) Pegasus until last season, has officially announced his retirement. Cho Sang-yeol, who started his professional career at LG as the sixth pick in the second round of the draft in January 2012, is a veteran who played 275 games in the regular league for 11 seasons in the KBL.
Cho also contributed to winning the regular league title as a member of LG during 2013-2014, his second year as a pro. Cho, who played a key six-man role through KT and Gas Corporation, put down the basketball after the 2024-2025 season.
When asked about his feelings about retirement, Cho Sang-yeol said, "I think I'm more calm than I thought. I expected it and almost retired before, but I'm grateful that the Korea Gas Corporation team and coach Kang Hyuk helped me a lot so I can continue my career."
"Deciding to retire was not an easy decision. I feel sorry because I haven't played basketball for a year or two, but I've played basketball for more than 10 years. Still, I learned some things from watching my retiring brothers since I was young, so I'm calming down well," he said.
As mentioned earlier, Cho Sang-yeol was not a player who took a lot of business trips, but he played an essential role in the team as a tall guard and played a big role in creating a good atmosphere and culture for the Korea Gas Corporation.
His experience will also help him live his post-basketball career. Then, what will Cho's next step be.
Cho Sang-yeol said, "Since basketball is what I have done so far, I am interested in youth basketball or elite basketball as well. However, rather than rushing, I try to find out more slowly. For now, I am going to take a break. Many people around me give me advice not to rush to think. I believe that if you look into it slowly, you will find another good way."
As Cho has been a professional for a long time, many moments will pass by like a beacon of light as he has decided to retire. What is the most memorable moment for Cho.
He said, "I remember when I won the regular league when I was at LG. "I haven't won the championship yet, but many other players have never won the regular season league and retire, and I think it's a big asset for me to have won the regular season. It was also my childhood, but I think it was a fun season to play basketball."
Cho was not a star player, but he was an essential player in the team. Cho was also a player who always tried to give back the love he received from his fans. That is why he must have a deep affection for his fans. Cho was also loved by many "Peekaboo" (a nickname for a fan of the Korea Gas Corporation) during the time of the Korea Gas Corporation.
In response, Cho Sang-yeol also expressed his sincere feelings. "I was so happy because Peekaboo always showed me a lot of love and support. I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. When fans remember me, I hope they remember me as a player who always worked hard and did his best. I was not an exceptionally good player, but I think the reason I endured it was because I worked hard and trained hard in the team. I also didn't want to be ignored by my juniors. I hope fans also remember me as a player who worked hard."
Meanwhile, Korea Gas Corporation's last coach as Cho's player, Kang Hyuk, also expressed his sorrow over Cho's retirement. "Cho Sang Yeol was a very hard-working player, but I also feel very sorry for not being able to play as a player more. However, I will always cheer for him, thinking that he will do well in any position," he said.
Cho Sang-yeol also said, "I talked to the coach a lot on the phone and ate a lot, but he said, 'I'm sorry' to me a lot. In fact, the coach doesn't have to do that at all, and I'm rather grateful. I first became involved with the coach when I was at LG and spent four years at Gas Corporation. I received a lot of help and instruction from coach Kang Hyuk in influencing my juniors well. In the future, I will try to be a good leader like the coach. Also, I'm very grateful that I retired after having a fun season thanks to the coach. I also want to say thank you to the team." 카지노
Cho Sang-yeol is now preparing to take another leap forward for his second life, leaving the court he got attached to. Now you won't see him running on the court holding a basketball, but I look forward to Cho Sang-yeol's appearance that will contribute to basketball in another way.
