Before this season, they recruited Park Jeong-ah (31) and experienced foreign player Yasmin with the aim of getting out of last place, but there is no sign of a rebound. If Pepper loses again in the next game, it will set an infamous record as the club’s biggest losing streak in a single season. The 2012-2013 season, KGC Ginseng Corporation (currently CheongKwanJang), is within sight of the women’s record for the most consecutive losses in a single season (20 consecutive losses).
