"Ahn Hye-jin was really good. GS Caltex became a completely different team."

Even IBK Industrial Bank of Korea (IBK) director Kim Ho-chul gave a warm compliment. It is a more meaningful compliment because he is a setter legend.

GS Caltex coach Lee Young-taek also said, `Thank you for doing so well in a burdensome game. He also praised the player who has a strong desire to do it."




Ahn Hye-jin returned to the court with 'Setter'. The start of the season was delayed due to repeated surgeries, and the match against Industrial Bank of Korea on the 8th was a special return match for him, who has only played as a one-point server this season.

It was the first time in 338 days that he started the setter, but he led the team to victory with a strong performance that overshadowed the gap. The speed of the toss, which penetrates under the ball with shrewd footwork, raises it powerfully, and shoots in a straight line on the net using a relatively tall height of 1m75, was extraordinary. He was the top contributor to GS Caltex's victory on the day.

Ahn Hye-jin's excellent athletic ability and active movement are her best strengths, but they were also the cause of her injury. I had surgery on my shoulder in July 2023 and my knee in March 2024. As a result, the FA was also delayed. Ahn Hye-jin will become the second FA only after the 2025-2026 season.




Realistically, there were not many opportunities to work together. Kim Ji-won, who has been a main setter this year, was suddenly put in as he was rested due to injury, but it led to good results. Ahn Hye-jin was interviewed with a smile as bright as her nickname 'Dol-imong'.

"Yu Seo-yeon Kwon Min-ji, I've been matching for a long time, so I can tell just by looking at her eyes, and Silva is a good player who hits her well if she gives him a certain amount. Oh Se-yeon or Tui were worried because they didn't have much experience, but it's good."

The condition he predicted himself was about 50%, but he flew around when the game began. Ahn Hye-jin said "I was more nervous the day before when I heard about the starting match. When I entered the game, I felt at ease. I was also excited because he received it well and hit me well.'




He even finished the first set himself. He was aiming because the score gap was so big," he said with a smile.

There is no way that there has been anxiety about one's health. However, Ahn Hye-jin said "Setter already knows when warming up. I liked the feeling that the toss went out of my hand. I thought, "It's done. It's done."

Now, he is the oldest player in the team when looking at his time playing for GS Caltex. Following the transfer of all four FA players in the off-season, his team has been struggling with 14 consecutive losses and a fall in last place this season.

Ahn Hye-jin is excited only when she wins, but everyone seems to be embarrassed. After returning, I tried to talk a lot about this person and that person"After losing consecutively last time, everyone realized their desperation again."I looked back.

"I wanted to help Seo-yeon, but I was frustrated because I couldn't play. Seoyeon doesn't say bitter things, but I felt sorry and proud to see her trying. Come to think of it, when I was young, I was really 'Cutton'. If you think about it, your nickname would be 'Dol-E-Mong'. It's been a long time since I contacted Seung-joo, and she laughed, saying, 'It was really hard because you were my junior.' Now I understand that feeling too. 'I said, 'I'm really sorry at the time.'"

Although the time they worked together is not long, even for Ahn Hye-jin, Silva is in awe. Ahn Hye-jin said "Is it really the power of a mother. Fans may not know, but after the game, Silva will turn on the "Siana (Silva's daughter) mode". Mom and daughter are the same" he described.

"I want to win as many games as I can in the remaining nine games. When it comes to GS, isn't it persistent defense and crazy volleyball. Even if I lose, I want to show you that. It is a great opportunity for younger juniors. I hope he'll settle down well now and be the mainstay of the team."
