“Having given birth and gone through many things, rather than fearing a challenge, I often thought about wanting to do it,” BEN said.

BEN also expressed confident determination toward the opposing team's players. “So-hee and Hyeon-jin are also very good, but even if they take it from me, I feel like I can take it back? That much seems easy,” she declared, adding, “Today, I will try to take it [the ball] about 10 times.” While acknowledging the skill of her opponents, she expressed her will to turn the tide through active pressure and ball recovery.

However, Balladream's ace, Seogi, revealed that normal play might be difficult due to a pre-match injury. Touching her left foot, she expressed concern, saying, “Shooting and things like that might be difficult today.” In response, Minseo encouraged her teammate, saying, “It's okay. Seogi, your passing is amazing.” Amidst the variable of the injury, Balladream's teamwork, relying on and trusting one another, stood out.

Ultimately, Balladream could not overcome the wall of Wonder Woman 2026 on this day. Although players including BEN and Seogi ran with all their might until the end, the match concluded with a 5-0 victory for Wonder Woman 2026. Balladream unfortunately failed to advance to the finals, while Wonder Woman 2026 secured a ticket to the finals with an overwhelming victory. Regardless of the result, BEN's passion, which continued through training while holding her daughter, left another deep impression.
