GS Caltex left both internal FA, including Kwon Min-ji, following the suicide note of 'Captain'.

GS Caltex announced on the 22nd the contract with outside heater Kwon Min-ji, the team's core power resource.

Following the early confirmation of the remaining of the best foreign player in the V-League and the recruitment of proven Asian quarter resource Raina, both internal FA Yusu-yeon and Kwon Min-ji made the team's direction clearer.




With this contract, GS Caltex will also be with Kwon Min-ji in the 2025-2026 season. Kwon Min-ji, who earned his first FA qualification, chose GS Caltex despite the interest of several teams, showing deep affection for the team. GS Caltex, which is constantly finding promising players and refining its team's color centered on its internal growth system, plans to show its fans the true face of young and energetic volleyball in the next season.

Kwon Min-ji, who graduated from Daegu Girls' High School, started her professional career by joining GS Caltex in the third place in the first round of the 2019-2020 V-League Women's Rookie Draft. Kwon Min-ji, who has been attracting attention as a promising player since joining the team, has shown steady growth since his debut and established himself as the team's main player.

In particular, Kwon Min-ji is a multi-position resource that can play outside heaters as well as apogee spikers and middle blockers, and has greatly contributed to enhancing the team's tactical flexibility and diversity. Solid basic skills, quick judgment, and high utilization in blocking and attack are gaining great trust from coaches and coaching staff. Kwon Min-ji consistently received opportunities to play and has played an important role both internally and externally with positive energy that leads to the team's atmosphere.




Kwon Min-ji said, `I had a lot of worries about getting the FA qualification for the first time, but leaving the team that I've been with took a really big decision, so I had no choice but to think carefully. GS Caltex is more like a family than just a team to me, and the moments when we sweated, cried, and laughed together were so precious. I am truly happy and grateful to be with GS Caltex. Now, I want to be a player who helps the team on and off the court with a greater sense of responsibility. I will work harder to repay the fans who always support me with good performances," he said.
