"We decided not to pick a substitute for the Wipawi." We intend to fill it with Korean players, including Ko Ye-rim."

Hyundai Engineering & Construction has decided not to select a substitute for Wipawi, who left due to a season-out injury.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction will play GS Caltex in the fifth round of the V-League from Dodram 2024 to 2025 at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 18th.

The injury gap of Wippawi, who led one wing of the triangular formation, is greatly felt. "Ko Ye-rim did a good job in the last Pepper Savings Bank match," said Hyundai Engineering & Construction coach Kang Sung-hyung. It's good to run in turns, but there are only a few players who will enter the position. He said, "I had a knee injury, so I have to take good care of it."

"It is a very important position, from the small position of the subcommittee to the attack when necessary. For now, we are in a shaky situation. If you look at the last Jeonggwanjangjeon, you used to be behind in the match. In reality, Heungkuk Life is the most advantageous, so I will focus on the playoffs rather than competing for second and third place in the regular season. If the mother of Yang Hyo-jin is more alive, I think it is enough to do with Jeonggwanjang."

Last year, the men's Korean Air recruited Maxim ahead of the championship match and blocked Leo (currently Hyundai Capital) of OK Savings Bank, achieving four consecutive integrated wins. According to regulations, Hyundai Engineering & Construction can also recruit replacement players just before the championship game.

On the 16th, Heungkuk Life won the V-League Women's IBK Industrial Bank and Heungkuk Life Insurance 3-0 at Hwaseong Sports Town Indoor Gymnasium.

However, Kang Sung-hyung shook his head. He said "I've looked at it, but the question is whether we can definitely show better performance than our domestic players when we come. We need time to work together"The position you need is an outside heater after all, but receiving is important…It's not easy. He explained, "I intend to finish it with domestic player resources."

With Heungkuk Life Insurance's Kim Yeon-kyung recently officially announcing Retirement after the season, the entire women's team is in turmoil. Regarding Kim Yeon-kyung's permanent number theory raised on the 18th, Heungkuk Life Insurance said "We have already talked with the club about retirement, and of course, I think the permanent number will take place." Isn't it Kim Yeon-koung, not another player. However, no decision has yet been made on the procedure or method of permanent numbering."

Hyundai Engineering & Construction also has a legendary player who can discuss permanent number. Yang Hyo-jin is the representative of 'Block Queen'. However, unlike other sports such as baseball, volleyball has very few permanent players. In the men's and women's divisions of the V League, Kim Yeon-koung is the third after Simone (OK Savings Bank) and Kim Sani (IBK Industrial Bank).

Director Kang Sung-hyung "Does he have to be a one-club man?"I don't think we're in a situation to discuss now, let's think about it in a few years."
