"I didn't let go of volleyball even though I was out there."

Hyundai Engineering & Construction's Hillstate Volleyball Team announced the recruitment of outside heater Jimin-kyung (27) on its official SNS on the 4th.

Jimin-kyung, who debuted at KGC Ginseng Corporation (currently Jeonggwanjang) from 2016 to 2017, played in 29 games in the first year and scored 176 points with a 30.02% attack success rate and ranked 'New In King'. The flower path of professional life seemed to begin in earnest, but the opportunity was rarely reached, and the debut season did not come out.




Ahead of the 2021-2022 season, he was called by Pepper Savings Bank's AI Peppers as a special designation for a new team, but this time the injury followed. As the knee injury continued, he was eventually notified of his release in June 2023.

Even after retirement, his passion for volleyball continued. He has been exercising steadily and passed the Hyundai E&C entrance examination.

Jimin-kyung "I feel like I'm starting again because there's a blank period. I feel like I'm starting over"I was out there, but I couldn't give up. I made my body, and Lim Do-heon helped me a lot. While rehabilitating, I also did ball exercises at the same time. I've been doing weight lifting regularly" he said.




My knee, which almost stopped my professional career, is now much better. Jimin-kyung "I've improved my knee strength and stuff. The cartilage has also improved a lot even after a hospital examination. However, I think it's important to maintain muscles in order to survive a long season."
