Jeon Hyo-min said in an interview after the second round, "I think it's going well as I replaced the driver shaft ahead of this tournament. Today, the tee shot settled well on the fairway, making it easier to play. I'm happy to finish with a good score," he said.
"Yesterday I played in the morning group and today I started in the afternoon group," he said about why he was in good condition. "I think it was effective that I had a lot of rest time, and I think the good shot during practice was the driving force behind my good performance until today," he said.
As for my parents' watching, "I was actually worried that it would be burdensome, but I didn't care as much as I thought. I didn't even pay much attention to playing with my caddy brother because I had a lot of fun. And rather, I think it was good because it was fun to find where I was cheering," said a calm thought.
Regarding the departure of the championship group for the first time in his life, he said, "I didn't plan anything because it was my first time. "I think I'm just with my caddy brother, and I'll play without paying attention to the gallery or other players as much as I can," he said.
Jang Soo-yeon and Kwon Seo-yeon tied for third with 8-under 136, Sung Yu-jin tied for fifth with 7-under 137 and Lee So-mi, Lim Hee-jung and Kim Sa-romi tied for sixth with 6-under 138.
Park Min-ji, the "defending champion," withdrew from the tournament after finishing the first round with a 1-over-73, asking the organizers for understanding due to severe sore throat, the aftermath of COVID-19.
