Q. You secured a great victory by taking down 'JM,' who is often called the 'Emperor.' How do you feel.

'Right' = Honestly, I thought it was a miracle just to make it this far from the Round of 16, and I expected it to be very difficult against 'JM.' I'm so happy to have won today. I received a lot of advice from people around me. In particular, Gyeong-seop, a former pro player, and Tae-hyun, who does personal streaming, were a huge help. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank them both.

Q. What was the meaning behind the celebration you showed today.

'Right' = During the last 'Ilta Bong-ssaem' broadcast, Bong-ssaem said I looked like a robot, so I prepared a robot celebration for today. I don't think it came across very well (laughs). I'll prepare an even more fun and enjoyable celebration for next time.

Q. It seems a new 'God of Penalty Shootouts' has emerged in the FSL. By winning the first set today, you've maintained a 100% win rate in shootouts. Have you gained real confidence in them?

'Right' = Actually, our team's coach, 'Replay,' teaches me almost everything about penalty shootouts. He's so good at predicting them that you could call him a master. I think I was able to win today's shootout thanks to Coach 'Replay.'

Q. Your defense using the tall Vieira whenever 'JM' had a free-kick opportunity was truly impressive.

'Right' = It's a defensive method I use often. When placing players in a free-kick wall, I believe you have a slightly higher chance of blocking the shot if you use a tall player rather than a short one. So, I put in Vieira, the tallest player on our team, and I'm very grateful that he really earned his keep today.

Q. It was a very intense match. When were you sure of the victory?

'Right' = In the fourth set, once the score gap widened to three goals and I started controlling possession while managing the game, I felt the victory was firmly in my hands.

Q. How would you evaluate your own performance?

'Right' = Honestly, I don't think it went as smoothly as the last Round of 16 match. I'll work on fixing my shortcomings so I can be better prepared for my next match against 'Ho-seok.'

Q. In your previous post-match interview, 'Hoseok' said he thought 'JM' would be the one to come up. Do you have a word for him.

'Right' = I lost to him in the group stage, but I believe I can win this time if I prepare well. I'll prepare as hard as I can to defeat 'Ho-seok' and aim for a spot in the semifinals.
