Isn't it an injury? The time when I was questioning...I met the trainer, the winning setter I'll spend as much time as I can

Lee Min-kyu (35, OK Savings Bank) was confident in the story of his physical condition, saying, `Everyone is saying that he is injured, but he is healthy.'
He played as the league's best setter, helping the team win the 2014-2015 season and the 2015-2016 season, but played only 16 games in the 2023-2024 season and 32 games in the 2024-2025 season, but he was frequently replaced.
A time when he was not included as a key force because his style was somewhat out of sync with the head coach, massage director Ogino. As the setter, who led the team to the championship, did not play many games, questions about 'body condition' were inevitable.
Lee Min-kyu is about to make a fresh start. Coach Ogino resigned after the last season, and OK Savings Bank appointed Shin Young-chul, the coach of the "Spring Volleyball Preacher".
The meeting with director Shin, who was a former speculator and made a name for himself as a setter trainer, is expected to be another turning point for Lee Min-kyu. Director Shin also expressed his intention to appoint Lee Min-kyu.
Lee Min-kyu, who looked back on last season, said "I was confident about my physical condition. But it was the director's choice, so I respect it, and I think it was an opportunity for me to be humble, too."

The meeting with coach Shin is also meaningful for Lee Min-kyu, who has not been able to form a relationship with the head coach of 'setter' since joining the professional team. Lee Min-gyu briefly worked with director Lee Kyung-seok for about half a year when he was a freshman in college, and with coach Kim Ho-cheol on the national team. Director Shin Young-chul is the first in the professional league and "The director's style is a lot of demands from the setter, so it is an asset for me again. There is a toss that the coach wants, so I'm going to cook it as soon as possible. The coach was a setter who saved the striker well. You're focusing on that part, but to fill in the part that the director wants, you have to prepare everything from trajectory to how to raise the ball" he said.
As for the setter, director Shin is more strict than anyone else. However, Lee Min-gyu takes it as affection. Lee Min-gyu "It instills a lot of confidence. It was good for you to think a lot about me so that I could be a better player. The director 'I thought about what's wrong with you before I went to bed yesterday. Some say, 'Why don't you do this?' If you say that first, I also say 'This situation is like this' and the conversation is going well"It's just as fun, and I feel the director trying to help me somehow, so I'm pouring it out, too."

Lee Min-gyu says "It's more than 10 years. Ansan fans were also very disappointed. I got a lot of messages, too. I hope it's not before the yearbookLooking at the words ', it was not easy to step down.
Lee Min-gyu continued "There is a burden to do well because we start from a new place. I think there will be a lot of people who will come if we do well,' he said. `On the contrary, if we do well, there are expectations that many fans will come.'
The goal was clear. Lee Min-gyu said "Our team is not a bad member right now. I think I can win the championship beyond advancing to the championship. Of course, the goal should be that way." He continued, `My personal goal is to clear the question of my physical condition by playing a healthy season without injury"I'll prepare well with humility."I'm determined.
