Below is the full interview with KRX Head Coach Cho Jae-eup and 'Jiwoo' Jung Ji-woo.

Q. How do you feel about today's match against Dplus KIA?

Head Coach Cho Jae-eup: It's a shame about the final third set.

'Jiwoo': We lost 2:1. It's disappointing because the third set was winnable.

Q. 'Jiwoo' Jung Ji-woo, you returned to the starting lineup after a long time. What was the background behind that?

'Jiwoo': It had been almost two months since I last played. From the second set on, my nerves settled, and I think I performed as well as I usually do.

Head Coach Cho Jae-eup: He didn't have much time to practice, so I'm grateful and proud that he showed such a good performance. We have plenty of time until Round 3, and since our two AD carries have different styles, we will monitor them through healthy competition.

Q. You finished Rounds 1 and 2 with a 5-13 record. Could you provide an overall assessment.

Head Coach Cho Jae-eup: I believe the skill levels across the Rise Group are all similar. You need a lot of things to secure a win. Ultimately, team calls and synergy at critical moments are what matter most.

Q. Any final words?

Head Coach Cho Jae-eup: I want to thank both of our bottom-lane players. We will prepare well so that we don't leave our fans feeling disappointed in the future.

'Jiwoo': I'm grateful to the fans. I'm not sure what will happen in the next round, but I will do my best to show a good performance.
