The long-awaited power joins.

A total of seven players, including Hwang Taek-ui (KB Insurance), Lim Jae-young (Korean Air), and Song Won-geun (Hyundai Capital), who joined the military as a Buddhist corps in May last year, are waiting to return to the V-League after being discharged from the military today (7th).

Hwang Taek-ui is KB Insurance's most awaited resource. Hwang Taek-ui, who wore a KB Insurance uniform as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016-2017 men's rookie draft, has established himself as the main setter to support the team for seven seasons.

In addition to the Rookie of the Year Award (current Young Player Award), he has won the Best 7 Setter category for three consecutive seasons from the 2020-2021 season to the 2022-2023 season before joining the military.

Hwang Taek-ui, a member of the Armed Forces Sports Unit at the Tongyeong Cup last month, helped the team advance to the semifinals for the first time in history. He also showed off his rusty skills by ranking first in serve (0.769 per set) in the group stage.

KB Insurance left the team for health reasons before the opening of the season with head coach Miguel Rivera. Coach Blanco is leading the team as an acting coach, and there is no first win of the season yet. In the match against Korean Air on the 5th (Tue), he took his first point of the season after a close game of a full set to the 5th set, but he desperately needs to win.

Acting Blanco waited for Hwang to return, saying, `Hwang Taek-ui is a smart player, he knows how to run the team, he knows how to play.'

When Hwang Taek-ui returns, KB Insurance will gather national-level resources. Outside heater Na Kyung-bok, who finished his military service last month, is also gradually improving his condition by playing a total of four games, including his return match.

KB Insurance has lost five consecutive games. He will try to win his first victory against KEPCO at Uijeongbu Indoor Gymnasium on the 9th.

The first round of the championship match between Korean Air and Woori Card in the men's 2020-2021 V-League was held at Gyeyang Gymnasium in Incheon. Korean Air's Lim Jae-young and Jung Ji-seok are happy after scoring. Incheon = Reporter Jeong Jae-geun cjg@sportschosun.com /2021.4.11/

Outside heater Lim Jae-young, who showed off his "mad performance" at the Tongyeong Cup, will also return to Korean Air. Lim Jae-young ranked second in scoring (65 points), fourth in offense (56.12 percent success rate), and fourth in serve (0.462 points per set) in the group stage of the cup tournament. He played the role of a team gun and took the lead in the gust of the South Korean military athletic unit.

Currently, Korean Air is an injured ward. Due to injuries, even Kim Kyu-min, Lee Joon, and foreign player Yosvani are unable to play on the court. While Jeong Han-yong, a "young blood" player, is performing very well, and Jung Ji-seok, who played on the court wearing a Libero uniform due to injury, has returned to his original position as an outside heater, Lim Jae-young is also expected to revitalize the team's offense.

They are not the only ones who have the effect of the `prefectious disease.' Middle blockers Song Won-geun and Park Ji-yoon (KEPCO), outside heater Kim In-kyun (Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance), Libero Park Ji-hoon (Korean Air) and Kim Do-hoon (KB Insurance) are waiting to join the team.
