serious intention to leave, and the conclusion is 'staying'

Jeong Ji-yoon (23, Hyundai Engineering & Construction), who led Hyundai Engineering & Construction to the unified championship last season, became the first FA in his life since the end of the season.

Jeong, a former rookie awardee, won the Rookie of the Year award by playing as a middle blocker, and started serving as an outside heater in 2021. Jung was highly valuable as he became a leading player in the V-League including playing for the national team. Multiple clubs sent out love calls.

Jeong's choice was Remain. He signed a three-year contract with Hyundai Engineering and Construction for a total of 1.65 billion won.

Jung Ji-yoon said, "Honestly, I thought a lot about it. It was my first FA, and I was curious what other teams would think. We negotiated with an open mind. I focused on which team was the right one after seeing what volleyball I was pursuing. Actually, I thought that if I stay in one place for a long time while playing volleyball, I can become a "frog in the well." I thought it would be better to have diverse experiences, but it was more important to know with whom than with whom. I get along well with my colleagues at Hyundai E&C and talk well. I was greatly influenced by it.

Jung Ji-yoon places high value on team work. "It is important for the players to play together with the same mind. Volleyball is a team sport. I still have to learn a lot, but I thought I had a lot to learn from my sisters at Hyundai Engineering & Construction," Jung said.

In the V-League match between Hyundai Engineering & Construction and Heungkuk Life Insurance held at Suwon Gymnasium on Wednesday, Hyundai Engineering & Construction's Jung Ji-yoon is cheering after scoring a goal.

Jung Ji-yoon, who just came to the Volleyball Nations League (VNL) as a national team player in June, said, "There were some parts that were disappointing, but thank you for thinking that I've grown a little bit more," adding, "This time, the national team's style has completely changed. I focused on speed, and there were doubts about 'can we do it?' but I thought I could do it through this national team. In the past, if I felt like I was doing it against the wall with Western teams, I felt that I could do it with the current style. It's not perfect, but I gained confidence that I can do it if I push ahead."

Notably, the team's biggest achievement came from losing consecutive games over the past three years. It beat Thailand to recover from its 30th consecutive defeat. Jung led the team to victory by scoring 16 points, the second highest among the team, following Kang So-hwi (22 points). "I felt overwhelmed as soon as I won," Jung said. "Now I think I can see my face, and I feel like I have less burden on my shoulders. I thought I should do more because it wasn't a good performance, but I also feel good about winning."

In his fourth year as an outside hitter, Jung Ji-yoon said, "From the moment I switched positions, I thought, 'I will take the target hit until the end of my career.' It was something I expected, and I have no worries since I prepared for it," adding, "It was awkward at first, but I feel like it has gradually melted down. I want to show it to my teammates as well as to my fans. First of all, enjoying the court is my No. 1 priority."

Jung Ji-yoon continued, "Our team has no special reinforcement of power this season. It can be said that it is disadvantageous, but I think our team's color will also change if we make good use of speed volleyball and others that we played in the national team. Now, rather than relying on him, I want to show him more shouting and responsible," he said. "This is my first year as an FA this year, so I have to show him now. If it's not burdensome, it's a lie, but I'll try to show it to you because it's not a young year." 슬롯사이트 순위
