Although he is on a solid path, his greed as a player is endless.
Women's professional volleyball Korea Expressway Corporation has been sweating hard since leaving for training in Japan on the 29th.
The club has been maintaining exchanges with Toray Arrows, the Japanese top division team with which it has formed a sister relationship since 2000, through mutual country visits every other year.
It had been suspended since 2019 due to the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), but resumed this year after four years.
The commander of the road construction court, setter Lee Yoon-jeong (26), is also busy preparing for the season in Japan. After receiving a professional offer in his 5th year with the business team, he wore a road construction uniform and this was his first overseas training.
He, who is focusing on training that will be held in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture, Japan on the 30th and 31st, said, “Japanese volleyball is elaborate and detailed.
I want to learn a lot through this training camp,” he said.
After his first practice match on the 30th (2-2 draw), he acknowledged the skills of Japanese volleyball, but said, “I think it’s worth a try.
“I can definitely win next time,” he said.
He showed off his presence by being named Rookie of the Year in his first year of debut, and quickly grew into a 'winning setter' by winning the championship with a dramatic story last season in his second year.
However, Lee Yun-jeong did not hide her greed, saying, “We still have a chance to win the combined championship.
Behind that passion was director Kim Jong-min.
Lee Yun-jeong laughed, saying, “When it feels like we’ve won, the coach reminds us, ‘Next season is more important.
He continued, “Because I am a setter, I receive a lot of orders, so to be honest, there are some difficult parts,” but “I talk to the manager a lot, so I am accepting it well rather than feeling disappointed.
In particular, attention was paid to Director Kim's 'tsundere' temperament.
Lee Yun-jeong said, “The director is not good at expressing himself, so he doesn’t praise me often.
But whenever I was having a hard time, he would tell me, ‘I think you’ll do well,’ which was very important.
He also said with a smile, “I talk to the setter a lot, so I think I have the most common ground with the coach,” and “I think I’m the closest to the coach in that respect.”
Team senior and colleague Bae Yuna was also selected as a strong supporter.
She said, “When I was having a hard time, I talked a lot with (Bae) Yuna,” and she said, “She gave me a lot of strength mentally.
When I was having a hard time, she was always the first to come and tell me, ‘It’s okay,’ so I think she was able to get through it well,” she said.
She also didn't forget to talk about her new family members.

Regarding setter Park Eun-ji, who joined through a trade, he said, “When I saw him at Ginseng Corporation (currently Cheong Kwan-Jang Red Sparks), I thought he was a player with a lot of ‘gang.
I’m looking forward to that part,” he said.
Regarding the foreign player Vanja Bukiric (Serbia), who will be working with him, he said, “He has good control and can hit everything as long as you set a high RBI.
He added, “I talk to him every day because he has a really good personality.
We speak one Korean and one English word to each other a day he said.
He, who has already adapted to the professional stage, said,
After three years of playing, the training system is very systematic.
At the beginning of last season, I had a hard time thinking that I had to do it alone, but it seems to be becoming more stable as I accumulate more years of experience.
From now on, I want to develop more stability and become the best 7 setter,” he said, raising his voice.
