‘The band electrode of the emitters’. In the pro volleyball women’s division approaching the end of the league, two players who are making great strides over the pain of release are attracting the attention of volleyball fans. This is Ha-kyung Kim (25) of IBK Industrial Bank and Yuri Kim (30) of GS Caltex. They were selected as the best players (MVPs) in their first professional debut game, and they enjoyed the joy of having a media interview and received attention. Kim Ha-kyung has been increasing his chances to participate due to the tumultuous condition of the leading setter Cho Song-hwa. He was a player who always followed the modifier’backup’, but he is as active as the setter before the start. 27th of last month Although the team lost in the Korea Expressway Corporation, When Cho Song-hwa’s condition fell in the 3rd set, Director Kim Woo-jae immediately put in Kim Ha-kyung. Kim Ha-kyung responded to Director Kim Woo-jae’s beliefs by succeeding in 11 sets during the 3rd and 4th sets. On the 24th of last month, Heungkuk Life Insurance actually led the team’s 3-0 victory by recording 25 sets and 6 diggs. On this day, Kim Ha-kyung doubled her attack power by making a perfect toss to Anna Lazareva, who scored 28 points, and Joo-hyang Kim, who played a surprise with 11 points. In an interview with the best player after the game, Ha-kyung Kim was thrilled, saying, “This is my first interview while working as a player.” He was released from IBK during the 2016-2017 season and has been playing for two years at Daegu City Hall, the unemployment team. However, coach Kim Woo-jae, who took the baton from the 2019 season, brought Kim Ha-kyung back into the pro league. This is because I saw the potential of Kim Ha-gyeong while directing myself when I was a junior high school coach. The teacher smiled at the performance of the student who had been looking forward to it. Director Kim said, “I have been watching Hakyung since middle school. There will be urgency. Thank you for overcoming it well,” he encouraged. In a written interview with the Hankyoreh on the 3rd, Kim Ha-kyung said, “I feel very rewarded that I came out on the court and did everything I could.” I will do my best to advance to the playoffs and play fun volleyball.”

Kim Ha-kyung also’summoned’ GS Caltex Kim Yu-ri, who burst into tears while interviewing the best player after 11 years of his debut at the Heungkuk Life Show on the 5th of last month. Kim Ha-gyeong, who saw the interview, said, “We cried so much together.” At the time, the scene where all GS players who watched Kim Yu-ri’s interview shed tears was captured by the broadcast camera and became a hot topic. Commentator Han Yoo-mi, who was broadcasting, also shed tears. Yuri Kim also came out of the team and had experience playing in the unemployment team. After being released, he was moved to know that he had a part-time job at a convenience store while wandering. Kim Yu-ri has been unable to take a seat even after returning as a pro in 2015, moving the team several times. However, in 2017, GS established its position as a main center. He is currently fourth in the league with a quick hit rate of 43.75%. Director Cha Sang-hyun, who recognized Kim Yu-ri’s appreciation, said, “Thank you for holding on to the end. There are good days when you endure.” Forgotten in the minds of fans, the two unknown players’ stand-by poles are becoming a new keyword of hope for women’s volleyball, which has been controversial due to recent school violence controversy.
