"He focuses a lot on the offseason."

The 2025 Korean Professional Volleyball & Professional Volleyball Futures Champions Tournament held in early July. GS Caltex coach Lee Young-taek has Choi Yoo-rim (20) under his belt "I'm intensively practicing a lot." he said.

Choi Yoo-rim was nominated by GS Caltex in the first round of the 2024-2025 season (2nd overall) and is a middle blocker. Choi Yoo-rim's potential at 1m 90t tall seemed extraordinary to Lee, who played as a middle blocker during his active days




Manager Lee is focusing a lot on this offseason, saying, `He is tall and in good general conditions.' I've been practicing a lot"We expected growth.

Last season, in his first year, Choi Yu-rim played in 10 games and played 16 sets. There are also blocking points. I haven't been able to step out for much time, but I've given a glimpse of the possibility.

At the Danyang competition, Choi Yu-rim played consistently. In the first game of Hyundai Construction, 13 points, including six blocked points, led the team to a shutdown victory, and in the third game, Heungkuk Life Insurance, he was in charge of 15 points, the most in the team. In the final match against IBK Industrial Bank, he also scored 12 points, including six blocking points. The attack success rate was 75 percent.

Choi Yoo-rim said, `I tried to be accurate from basic training during the off-season, and I focused on weight or ball exercises.'

I felt a lot while playing full-time at the Danyang tournament as a starter in every competition. Choi Yoo-rim said "I was honestly very nervous at first. Running inside the court made me feel relaxed and I think it went well"It's my first time playing a full game, so I thought I should take responsibility." he said.

Choi Yoo-rim continued "I tried to block as well as I could to reduce basic mistakes and make it easier for my sisters to defend from behind." In addition, they gave us quick attacks to make it easier for us to attack and paid a lot of attention to those areas as well. "My sisters told me to be able to do it correctly because they couldn't see all the strikers, which helped me a lot."




Choi Yoo-rim, who joined last year with a lot of expectations, said "I don't think I showed much good performance last year." Overall, it was a shame. "That's how much I tried to work out a lot in the offseason. We will work hard to fill the gaps and show good performance in the upcoming season,' he said.
