"I know how you feel. "

I played the 'life game' and the role is still 'Joker'. Still, there is a player who will not be discouraged and will not neglect his efforts to become a bigger player.

Kim Woo-jin of Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance flew up. He could have lost his weight due to the early elimination of 'Spring Volleyball' but he became the main character of the blood clot that made the most intense impression this season.




Kim Woo-jin scored 17 points in the men's sixth round match of the 2024-2025 Dodram V League against KB Insurance at Kyungmin University Gymnasium in Uijeongbu on the 3rd, leading the team to a 3-2 set-score victory.

He scored fewer points than Kim Jung-ho (18 points). But the impact was huge. Kim Woo-jin, who took the court for the first time instead of poor Maxim at the beginning of the third set, scored eight points in the third set alone. He led the turnaround with more points than his opponent, Apogit Spiker Villena (7 points). Not many people expected Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance to win the third set, excluding all foreign players.

Kim Woo-jin, who showed off his tremendous offense in the fourth and fifth sets with that momentum, blocked KB Insurance's 10th consecutive win, first second place, confirming its advance to the playoffs, and Kyungmin University's unbeatable defeat. It was a proper upset of KB Insurance's feast.

Kim Woo-jin also smiled brightly after the game. He said "It's a game that I'm satisfied with myself. "I had a lack of confidence in the attack during this season, and it was an opportunity to regain it." When asked "Today is a professional, can I say 'life game', he smiled shyly and answered "Yes". It was the best for anyone to see. It was a destructive attack that was at the level of scoring when hit. Even the head coach Aponso admitted that the point of today's game was Kim Woo-jin's input.

However, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance coach Kim Sang-woo said, `If Kim Woo-jin hadn't been there, I would have just lost,' but added, `I hope he will become a player in other areas as well" did not forget the advice. Kim Woo-jin, who came in as a substitute in the previous defeat against Korean Air, played an active role, and even at that time, he had to pay more attention to defense, receiving, and blocking. have yet to break through the limits", he pointed out.

Coach Kim even said, `I will continue to use Kim Woo-jin as a Joker in the future' on how to use Kim Woo-jin for the rest of the season after the KB Insurance match. While the elimination of 's spring volleyball' was confirmed anyway, coach Kim was determined to give the player with momentum a chance to start.

I think he would be disappointed. Kim Woo-jin said "The coach always says 'Be a bigger player" In order to be a perfect player, he pokes in the gaps. I think I have expectations on me. I think that's why you're saying that. I am only focusing on preparing to meet the director's expectations" said daintyly.

He himself also "Honestly, there is still a lot to be desired. Defensive, receiving and serving all want to take it to the next level. There are so many better players. You have to work harder to win the competition," he stressed.

He boasts strongest attack capability in his class. It would be good if he plays as an apogee spiker, but this position is exclusive to foreign players. In the end, in order to survive for a long time, we have to settle in the outside heater position, and defense, receiving, and blocking are important as head coach Kim said. Director Kim is also saying this because he has affection. Kim Woo-jin said "I don't care about the position. Of course, if you go into the outside Peter position, there is an attraction that you can attack in various ways."

Kim Woo-jin said of the last Joker role, `It's important for me to play, but it's more important for our team to stay as high as possible. Whether you play as a mainstay or not, all of our team members feel the same way, he said, explaining the driving force behind being able to prepare with 'Joker'.
