"I think I need to get used to it quickly."

Moon Jung-won (31, Korea Expressway Corporation) will start the upcoming season as a libero. In the meantime, it was not difficult to see 'Guardian Moon Jung-won'. He has been involved in an unusually large number of defenses in the position of an apogee spiker to utilize his outstanding defense. However, this is the first time that the season is celebrated with Libero.

Libero is no stranger to Moon Jung-won. He was selected as a libero in the 2023 Volleyball Nations League (VNL). He has been recognized for his stable defense.




At the end of last season, the Korea Expressway Corporation parted ways with `Legend Libero' Lim Myeong-ok. While he was agonizing over his position as a libero, Moon Jung-won decided to start as a libero in earnest.

Moon Jung-won began to raise his sense of practice in earnest at the 2025 Korea Business Volleyball & Professional Volleyball Futures Championship held in Danyang from the 2nd.

Moon Jung-won said, `I was a defensive player in the position of an apogee spiker, but when I changed my position to Libero, I had a lot of difficulties because the direction of receiving the ball was different. There are still many things I need to do more when I play with young players, but I think I lack that part. I think I have to think a lot about it and play the game."

It was probably not easy to go to the defense profession over the offense. In particular, there was also a burden to fill the void of Lim Myeong-ok, who was the best in the V League. However, it was also a decision that had to be made someday in order to revive the defense, which is an advantage.

Moon Jung-won talked a lot about this with Myung-ok. As I got older, I was told a lot to go to Libero if I wanted to do it for a long time. Not only Myung-ok, but also other sisters, including Bae Yuna, said that a lot"I was lucky to have joined the national team as a libero. "The foreign coach saw me receiving and picked me while looking at the record, but it helped me a lot because I had a lot of experience with that opportunity," he said. "I want to play volleyball longer, but I think I should play volleyball that can make the most of my strengths because I lost a lot of jumping parts."

Moon Jung-won continued "I think it was a turning point for me to have two-man receptions while recruiting Park Jung-ah to defend more due to knee injuries. If you continued to attack with pain at that time, it would have been difficult to continue playing volleyball until now. As I became a defensive player in the position of Apogit Spiker and managed it, I think I can become a defensive player now."




He is in a position to fill the gap, but his time with Lim Myung-ok helped greatly. Moon Jung-won said "It was also a burden to decide to do a libero." This is the place where Myung-ok (Im) left. "It's a burden to fill the place where the best libero in Korea was, but I learned a lot from my sister, so I'm trying to follow her well." "The receiving part and the defense part." When I was shaking or my feet didn't move, she taught me a lot even though my sister and I had different styles"Thank you.

As the game is being carried out, they are gradually looking for complementary tasks. Apogit spikers and liberos typically rotate differently in the rotation.

Moon Jung-won said, "It's difficult to do it on the other side. Unlike practicing in the team, I have to think more about these parts when the players hit or the ball was short, but I think I need to think more about it because I lack that"Now it's a position where you can't toss. On the vanguard. Runs a lot of toss after setter when in rightI think it's me. I felt it wasn't easy to play undertones. The coaches are helping, so they're trying to do it."

Moon Jung-won continued "The coach and the coaching staff seem to be worried a lot" and "You've been helping me a lot since I've been practicing. 'You have to know how to do this part', 'You have to tell them like this', 'You need to be in a good position. You tell me these people, so I think I'm getting in a little bit."

The Korea Expressway Corporation recruited Moma, who boasts outstanding offense as an off-season foreign player, and re-signed Tanacha, who showed good performance last year in the Asian quarter. Analysts say that the team has stabilized in terms of its strength this season. Moon said, `The same goes for other teams, but the goal is to win. Rather than filling in the gaps, I think I should try that part because the part I have to fill is big. That's how much, I think I need to adapt quickly to my team's style."
