Only two middle blockers were on the first list of players registered by the Korea Expressway Corporation on June 30. As the middle blocker position was expected to be disrupted due to Kim Hyun-jung's voluntary cancellation, he thought about reinforcing the players, and decided to recruit Kim Hyun-ji after checking Kim Hyun-ji's play at the '2025 Korea Unemployment Volleyball & Professional Volleyball Futures Championship' held in Danyang, Chungcheongbuk-do in early July.
Kim Hyun-ji joined GS Caltex as the sixth-ranked player in the fourth round of the 2015-2016 rookie draft, but left the professional stage in 2017. Since then, he has played an active part in the business volleyball stage through the business volleyball team Yangsan City Hall, Suwon City Hall, and Pohang City Sports Council. Based on his strong offense and excellent blocking, he won the Best Player Award (2023) and the Blocking Award (2021) in the Industrial Volleyball Federation match, showing his top performance.
Kim Hyun-ji, who is returning to the professional stage after eight years, said, `I'm grateful to be back on the professional team with a good opportunity. When I first joined the professional team, I couldn't play, but as I have maintained a sense of play in the unemployment team, I will try to help the team in times of difficulty."
