GS Caltex reinforced its offense and defense by recruiting Kim Mi-yeon on the 12th" he announced. GS Caltex sent Apogit Spiker Moon Ji-yoon and made a one-on-one trade to receive Kim Mi-yeon.
Kim Mi-yeon, who graduated from Daejeon Shintan Joongang Middle School and Daejeon Yongsan High School and joined Korea Expressway Corporation as the third-ranked player in the third round of the 2011-2012 season, will wear GS Caltex's uniform after serving as IBK Industrial Bank and Heungkuk Life Insurance. Kim Mi-yeon is considered to be a player with strong serve and attack power, and is also considered to be complying with her defense power. In addition, being able to digest the Apogit Spiker is also expected to be a great help to GS Caltex.
GS Caltex expects that Kim Mi-yeon's experience, who has played in 330 games and 1,085 sets with a 33.50% attack success rate, will revitalize GS Caltex's offense and defense in 14 seasons of the V League.
"With the addition of Kim Mi-yeon, we can strengthen our side attacks and defense," GS Caltex coach Lee Young-taek said. It is also likely to be of great help in the protection of injured players who are currently rehabilitating. I'll help you adapt to the team quickly. Also, I want to say thank you to Moon Ji-yoon, who is leaving unfortunately," he said.
Kim Mi-yeon will immediately join the team and greet her teammates, including head coach Lee Young-taek, for the first time and prepare for the rest of the season.
Meanwhile, Moon Ji-yoon, who will wear Heungkuk Life Insurance uniform, made his professional debut by joining IBK Industrial Bank as the fifth-ranked player in the first round of the 2018-19 rookie draft. Moon Ji-yoon, who moved to GS Caltex in 2020, is evaluated as a player with various attack options, playing apogit and middle blocker positions based on his powerful attack power.
Moon Ji-yoon "I'll do my best to help you in terms of attack."I'll try to show you more mature play" he said, expressing his ambition. Coach Abondaji expressed high expectations, saying, `Moon Ji-yoon is an energetic player and the team's offense will be further strengthened.'
An official from Heungkuk Life Insurance said, `We deeply appreciate Kim Mi-yeon for her dedication to the team for a long time, and we will support the new challenge at GS Caltex.'
