Actor Park Hana's fiancé, Coach Kim Tae-soo, has been dismissed just two months before their wedding.
The professional basketball team Goyang Sono Skygunners officially announced on the 10th, “We are grateful for taking on the team during a difficult time, but we have made the decision to dismiss Coach Kim Tae-soo for the future of the players and the club.”
Coach Kim Tae-soo was appointed as the youngest head coach in KBL last November. At that time, the Sono side made a surprise appointment of Coach Kim Tae-soo to revitalize the atmosphere after former coach Kim Seung-ki resigned due to a player assault controversy. After retiring from his playing career in 2021, Kim Tae-soo suddenly took on the role of a professional team coach without any prior experience leading a team.
Under Coach Kim Tae-soo's leadership, Sono recorded a final ranking of 8th and failed to qualify for the playoffs. This season started under the previous coach Kim Seung-ki, during which the team recorded 5 wins and 5 losses. Coach Kim Tae-soo's record stands at 14 wins and 30 losses.
Coach Kim Tae-soo joined the Seoul SK Knights in 2007 and played for Anyang KGC Ginseng Corporation, Jeonju KCC Egis, Seoul Samsung Thunders, and Wonju DB Promy during his playing career. He was known for his active performance as a point guard during his time as a player.
Meanwhile, Park Hana and Coach Kim Tae-soo are set to marry on June 21 at a location in Seoul. The two are said to have grown closer through their shared hobby of golf.
