The team, including general manager Choi Hyung-gil and coach Jeon Chang-jin, offered the trophy to the grave of the late honorary chairman Chung Sang-young and expressed their gratitude for the deceased's love for the basketball team during his lifetime.

Honorary Chairman Chung Sang-young, who died in January 2021, was famous for his affection for the basketball team during his lifetime.

Starting with the 2005-2006 season, he served as a title sponsor for professional basketball five times, and he also supported professional-permanent matches and international university basketball tournaments.

In addition, it became a strong support for the basketball world to the point where KCC gyms and accommodations were given out when the training grounds of national teams at various levels were not good.

KCC was able to build a brilliant lineup called the "Super Team" in the 2023-2024 season because honorary chairman Chung's "love for basketball" passed down generations, making investments unsparing.

In particular, after KCC coach Jeon Chang-jin was virtually kicked out of the basketball world on charges of gambling and other charges, honorary chairman Chung reached out and appointed Jeon as a technical advisor for the 2018-2019 season, and appointed Jeon as the official head coach from the 2019-2020 season.

Coach Jeon also said in an interview after confirming the championship title on the 5th, "I would like to thank honorary chairman Chung Sang-young," and "I want to visit and say that I did it," but he kept that promise on the day.
