"It's the last season before I go to the army."
Outside heater Hwang Kyung-min (28) of KB Insurance plans to join the military after the 2024-25 season. This is why he strongly wants to show good performance to fans during the 2024-25 season. He also has a strong sense of responsibility recently as he has a lifelong partner with his marriage.
Hwang Kyung-min, who talked with a reporter at KB Insurance Practice Gymnasium in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do, said, "I can't put off the military anymore. I'm going to join the military after the upcoming season is over because I'm full of age," smiling, "I'm encouraged by my wife's cooking a lot of delicious food after getting married. I like Korean food, and soybean paste stew is really delicious."
"Next year, I will be 30 years old in Korean age. I realize that time has passed," he said, smiling. "I am gradually boosting my body. I am conducting phased training and gradually increasing my ball training."
Hwang was in fine form before suffering an unexpected injury last season. However, he was out of the team's roster with a rib injury in the second round of the 2023-24 Woori Card match, and returned to the court afterwards, but had a hard time finding his condition. 296 points in 28 games, 55.27 percent in attack rate, 37.66 percent in receiving efficiency. It was the first time he played in less than 30 games since his debut season in the 2018-19 season, and he failed to score more than 300 points.
"At that time, I thought I would be able to score 600 points and make a career high season," Hwang said. "I was so sad about my injury. I couldn't do reinforcement exercises, and had to wait until my bones stuck. I also came back early when my team was in a bad situation, and my knees hurt. It was a vicious cycle. It's a bad memory."
Therefore, I want to make the upcoming season a happy one. Not only players but also fans have high expectations on Na Kyung-bok, who worked with national team setter Hwang Taek-ui at Woori Card, will return after being discharged from the military. Hwang Kyung-min and Yoon Seo-jin are also promising players. Foreign player Andres Villena is also preparing for Asian Quarter Max Staples. Central, the weakest team, has filled a gap by recruiting veteran middle blocker Park Sang-ha.
Hwang Kyung-min said, "Two good players are coming to the team. I think everyone who likes KB Insurance has high expectations. They are the players who take the center stage of the team. I think we will be able to show better performances than last season. Also, Max is active and fun in the Asian quarter. He is well integrated into the team."
Hwang Kyung-min then said, "I had to play the role of the main striker after playing for KB Insurance for two seasons. In my case, I think the role of a housekeeper is more appropriate than the main striker. I think I will be comfortable when Kyung-bok comes. I will work with Kyung-bok and do well." 에볼루션 바카라사이트
Hwang Kyung-min, who joined Woori Card as the second overall rookie draft in 2018, has only one experience in spring volleyball in the 2018-19 season for a total of six seasons, from Woori Card, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance to KB Insurance. In the 2019-20 season, he did not experience spring volleyball due to COVID-19 even though he ranked first in the regular league, and the team's performance was not good for the four seasons after that. So this time, his desire for spring volleyball is greater than ever.
"I like other teams' capabilities, but I think our capabilities can be higher than the upper-middle-class," Hwang said. "My goal is to become a spring volleyball player. I have to go to the playoff to win the championship," Hwang said. "I want to play well without injury for one season. I felt sorry for not showing good performance despite KB Insurance fans' support last season. I will show you better performance this season. You can look forward to it."
