Hypo sign new Korean star

A late Christmas present for coach Németh: Korean international backcourt player, Bokhee Myoung, will join Hypo.

Hypo sign new Korean star

Seong-ok Oh is well known for her magic passes, Cha-youn Kim scores every game a couple of goals as a line player and Sun-hee Han plays her part on the left wing: the three Korean players of Hypo made a great impact since coming over to Europe!

The Austrian champions confirm once again that they are going for the CL title this year. The clubs signs another player from the Korean national team: Bokhee Myoung will play for Hypo from the next group stage...

"No one knows her - this is a big advantage," said manager Gunnar Prokop.

"We just had three backcourt players, so she was something like a late Christmas present for coach András Németh," Prokop added.

Timea Tóth, Seong-ok Oh and Gorica Acimovic had to play nearly all the time in Hypo - now they will have another option in attack.

The 28-year old Korean is a left-handed player and this was still missing from the squad.

"She has a great vision of the game, good passes and she is also very fast," said Prokop.

The signing of the player will be a real boost of the Hypo title hopes:

"She will be our secret weapon in the next group stage..."
