Governor Shin Sang-hoon was born in 1948. He graduated from Gunsan Commercial High School, Sungkyunkwan University, and Yonsei University Graduate School of Business. He joined Shinhan Bank in 1982 and served as the 9th president of the bank. After that, he served as the CEO of the Financial Industry Public Interest Foundation in 2021 and was appointed as the WKBL president from July 1st.
Currently, the Korean women’s basketball team is undergoing a major crisis. The Korean women’s basketball team was a good daughter sport who competed in seven Olympic Games, including silver medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and semifinals at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. However, its international competitiveness has declined recently, and the WKBL, the foundation of the Korean national team, has also lost popularity. At a time of crisis, a new WKBL head has been appointed.
“At a critical juncture in Korean women’s basketball, I will assume the post. We were the Asian powerhouse that shines in women’s basketball. However, it is true that Korea is losing ground not only in international competitiveness but also in domestic professional sports,” Shin said.
“We will make a competitive league where our fans come. At the same time, we will make efforts to expand the base of women’s basketball,” President Shin Sang-hoon said, “We will work closely with the six WKBL clubs, officials of women’s basketball, and fans to make progress until the day when women’s basketball is loved by the entire nation based on the WKBL. Please keep your eyes on us with your interest and encouragement.”
Regardless of the sport, there are many cases where a person from another field has been appointed as the head of the sport. In some cases, it has a good effect, but in some cases, it has adverse effects without making an effort to understand the sport.
However, Governor Shin seems to be able to dispel worries in that regard. In 2003, when he was the ninth president of Shinhan Bank, he contributed to the foundation of Shinhan Bank in women’s basketball. He then maintained his position as the first owner until 2009. Shinhan Bank, which started a winning streak under Governor Shin, has since grown into a strong team that has achieved six consecutive wins.
“Shin Sang-hoon, the new president of the WKBL, has a lot of interest and affection for women’s basketball. Therefore, the women’s basketball community also has high expectations for Shin,” an official of the women’s basketball team added.
