Korea Expressway Corporation setter Lee Yoon-jung, 27, is a key player for head coach Kim Jong-min in the 2024-2025 season. “I want to be the first to test how (Lee) Yoon-jung utilizes the offense,” said Kim, who is leading his squad to the 2024 Vietnam Television (VTV) Cup in Ninh Binh, Vietnam. Doro signed free agent Kang So-hwi in the offseason for a maximum three-year, $2.4 billion deal and replaced both foreign and Asian quota players. The key will be to evenly utilize the scoring power of the new trio of 안전한 파워볼사이트 Merelin Nikolova, Kang So-hui, and Uniesca Batista (registered name Uni).

The on-court commander Lee Yoon-jung’s role is more important than ever, as the team has three new wingers and different attacking styles. She has to distribute the ball evenly while still recognizing each player’s characteristics. “Sohui (Kang) wants to play fast volleyball,” Lee said on Sunday in Ninh Binh, Vietnam. She often sends me videos of Japanese volleyball and says, ‘Why don’t we do it like this,’” Lee said, adding, ”I try to put the ball up just right for Nikolova, and I also pay attention to Uni’s physical condition because she’s not 100 percent yet.”

Maximizing her teammates’ performance is just as important as taking care of her own body. Lee hasn’t been able to play the Kobo Cup, a precursor to the regular season, for the past two years due to Achilles tendon and other injuries. “I’ve been focusing on injury management and working hard on my treatment,” she said, ”and this year I want to do it right from the Kobo Cup.”

Kim envisions a volleyball program that doesn’t rely on any particular player in the new season. “Last year, there were a lot of attacks centered on foreign players. “It’s important to distribute the ball evenly among the new trio,” said Lee Yoon-jeong, who also pushed the ball to foreign players in order to score stably. In a 3-0 victory over Kuanish (Kazakhstan) in the VTV Cup Group A third-leg match on Nov. 26, Doro won 3-0, with Lee Yoon-jung’s even distribution leading the way with 16 points from Nikolova, 15 from Kang So-hui and 14 from Yuni.

“Personally, I want to be No. 1 in set wins, and as a team, we want to make it to the playoffs,” said Lee, who ranked third in set wins last season. ”I’m grateful to the fans for their undeserved love. I will continue to do well, so I hope you will continue to support me,” he said sincerely.
