Park Chul-woo has stepped in as the interim head coach for the U-WinD team following the departure of Mauricio Paes. The transition saw Paes leave his position on December 30th, accompanied by coach Badarana Cyrilong. This left Park Chul-woo to lead the team, with only coach Lee Kang-won remaining from the previous coaching staff, aside from the training department.

Despite the coaching changes, the team has achieved a remarkable 78% win rate, a success Park Chul-woo attributes to the team's unity and the resilience of its players. He highlighted one player's dedication, noting their struggle with elbow pain but unwavering commitment to playing.

Park emphasized the concept of "unsung heroes" within the team, individuals whose contributions might not always be in the spotlight but are crucial to the team's overall performance and spirit. This focus on collective effort and individual perseverance seems to be a key factor in the team's recent success.
