Kang Joo-ha first encountered track and field before starting basketball. He has an unusual history of catching a basketball at the recommendation of his swimming coach after quitting track and field.

As a former track and field athlete, his strength is his strong running speed. He said, “When I went to a track and field event, I used to run the 100m in 14 to 15 seconds. As such, he is confident in his speed. Instead, the power seems weak,” he said, referring to his strengths and weaknesses.
Kang Joo-ha, who wants to be an essential player on the team, said, “Heo Ye-eun is my role model. He is short, but he is good at passing and I want to be like the part where he hits a shot at a decisive moment.”
Finally, Kang Joo-ha said, “My goal is to become a professional player. It is my dream as a basketball player to play as a starting player in a professional team,” he said about his future.
