E’Anna Palacios Won Brings CNMI Pride to South Korea

We’re incredibly proud to see E’Anna Palacios Won, a daughter of the Northern Marianas, making her mark on the international stage. Raised in Saipan, E’Anna was selected fifth overall in the 2026 draft to play professional basketball with South Korea’s Cheongju KB Stars. She previously represented the CNMI at the 2022 FIBA Women’s Micronesian Cup, helping bring home a silver medal along with her sister, Ky’Sonna. E’Anna’s journey reflects the determination, Chamorro pride, and strong family and community values that define our islands. Her success reminds our young people, especially our young girls, that no matter how small our islands may be, our dreams have no limits. Congratulations, E’Anna! The CNMI is cheering you on!
