(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Nam-jik Han = Women’s Professional Volleyball KGC Ginseng Corporation waited for the’Free Contract Player (FA) Negotiation Start Date’ as soon as the 2020-2021 V-League regular league ended.
Two non-seasonal tasks set by Ginseng Corporation, which suffered from a failure to advance into the postseason, were renewal of the contract with Valentina Diouf (28) and the recruitment of free agent Lee So-young (27).
I’ve already done more than half.
Ginseng Corporation informed Dioof of their intention to renew the contract, and Dioof filed an application for a draft for a foreign player.
And on the 13th, Ginseng Corporation confirmed the recruitment of Lee So-young.
Ginseng Corporation announced on the day that “I signed a three-year contract (total of 1.95 billion won) with Soyoung Lee for a total remuneration of 650 million won, including annual salary and options.”
Director Lee Young-taek laughed in a phone call with Yonhap News, saying, “Lee So-young was right next to us when he signed a contract with our club,” and said, “Thank you so much for coming to our team.”
Ginseng Corporation actively communicated its intention to recruit Lee So-young from the start of FA negotiations. Director Lee Young-taek also frequently met with Lee So-young to help with negotiations.
Manager Lee said, “Since the start of the 2019-2020 season, I have often spoken to the front desk of the club, saying,’I want to recruit Lee So-young.’ Thankfully, the club made a specific recruitment plan and moved actively.” Lee So-young was doing a better job in karate. I was more greedy.”
In fact, Lee So-young ranked 10th in scoring (439 points) in the regular league this season, 4th in attack overall (41.66% of attack success rate), and 5th in receive (receive efficiency 41.82%).
He also showed leadership that united the team with the captain of GS Caltex.
GS Caltex achieved a treble for the first time in the history of the women’s division by winning the cup competition, first place in the regular league, and championship deciding match in the performance of Lee So-young. Lee So-young, along with Meretta Lutz, was selected as the best player (MVP) in the championship match. He is also a regular league MVP candidate.
(Seoul = Yonhap News) The V-League KGC Ginseng Corporation’s professional volleyball team announced on the 13th that “at the end of the 2020-2021 season, the national team left So-young Lee, who was qualified as a free agent (FA), has been recruited.” 2021.4.13

Director Lee Young-taek said, “During the negotiations, we talked a lot about volleyball with Lee So-young. So-young was also curious about my team and I was also honest.” I was happy.
Soyoung Lee was a franchise star of GS Caltex. He joined GS Caltex as the first place in the 2012-2013 season draft and played only in one team.
Manager Lee said, “I know how difficult it is to leave the team. It would have been more difficult because I was a deep player,” he said. “Because I made a difficult decision, I will work hard to help Lee So-young feel comfortable in the new team.”
Ginseng Corporation often struggled because of its relatively weak left attack power, even with the right diouf, which ranked first in scoring (963 points).
Manager Lee said, “Setters such as Yeom Hye-seon will welcome Lee So-young as much as I do. Now, there is an increase in the number of players who will definitely trust and raise the ball.”
Ginseng Corporation, who hired Lee So-young, must reward Lee So-young 200% of his salary last season, 700 million won, and one player other than six protective players, or give 300% of his annual salary of 1.05 billion won.
Manager Lee said, “After signing with Lee So-young, I started thinking about the list of 6 protected players. It’s very difficult,” he said. “Because we’ve hired a good player, it’s also something we have to deal with.”
Lee So-young, who is enjoying a vacation, plans to have a meeting with the Ginseng Corporation team before joining the national team.
I don’t have enough time to match hands and feet with Ginseng Corporation players due to the joining of the national team, but I don’t worry too much about this.
Ginseng Corporation setter Yeom Hye-seon, Center Han Song-i and Park Eun-jin, and Libero Ji-young Oh are also joining the national team.
Director Lee laughed broadly, saying, “I don’t have any specific wishes for Lee So-young in the off-season. I hope that I will return to health after training in the national team happily.”
