RKDR has emerged as the strongest in the U18 division.
The NH Nonghyup Bank 2025 KXO 3x3 Seoul Sinchon Light Quest was held on the 21st at the special court in front of the Hyundai Department Store Sinchon branch's U-Plex. A total of 9 teams were divided into 2 groups to compete in the preliminary rounds on the 21st, and the champion was determined through the final six tournament on the 22nd.
In the U18 final held on the 22nd, RKDR (Park Beom-jun, Gam Dong-bin, Chae Tae-hyeon, Lee Dong-yeop) defeated Mirae AI (Cho Geon-woo, Hong Ha-yul, Lee Hyun-soo, Park Gyeong-tae) 21-12 to kiss the championship trophy.
Although it was a competition among 18-year-old students, the passion was comparable to that of adult athletes. The two teams engaged in fierce battles in front of many spectators.
RKDR did not miss any mistakes from their opponents and connected those opportunities to scores. With 2 minutes left, RKDR took the lead 18-11 and gained the momentum.
RKDR's Lee Dong-yeop showcased excellent skills, even attempting a dunk. RKDR, featuring four players with solid abilities, claimed the championship title. Gam Dong-bin (Gyeongil High School, 3rd year) was selected as the MVP.
After receiving the MVP award, Gam Dong-bin said, "This is my first time winning during my life. The last match went as I hoped. My teammates supported me well. This is my first time as MVP, so I'm a bit overwhelmed, but it's great."
As a 3rd year student who is dedicated to academics and participated in the remaining time to win the competition, it was even more meaningful. He stated, "As a 3rd year student, I am balancing academics and basketball. I study and exercise during my free time. Since this is my last opportunity in basketball, I came out to give it my all. After the college entrance exam, I want to focus on basketball."
