Will he be a player who can solve the long-standing agony of the center.

A newcomer with a crazy 1m90 physical is emerging as a hope for GS Caltex. Choi Yu-rim was selected as the second overall pick in the first round last year.

GS Caltex coach Lee Young-taek, who met Jin Air ahead of the Heungkuk Life Insurance match in the 2025-2026 season on the 29th, said, "When Choi Yoo-rim came out, I'm putting a lot of effort into it."," he said with a smile.




Choi Yoo-rim scored eight points, including four blocks, in the match against Jeonggwanjang on the 23rd. He was tied for second place in scoring on the team with Yoo So-yeon after ace Gisele Silva. Its overwhelming height of 1m90 is its biggest advantage.

"There is still a lot of inexperience. I'm not an experienced player. But it's really better compared to last year, and it's going to be better in the future."

Coach Lee Young-taek is the head coach recruited by GS Caltex, which has been suffering from the absence of middle blockers for years, with a request to "grow the middle blocker". Previously, he raised Jung Ho-young and Park Eun-jin as the league's top middle blockers when he was the president of the articles of association, and Choi Jung-min as the IBK Industrial Bank (senior coach).

Choi Yoo-rim is a talent who should keep the center of the Jangchung Court with Oh Se-yeon (1m80), who grew up last year.

Coach Lee Young-taek also gave birth to Oh Se-yeon as the league's top blocker at GS Caltex, and added Silva's fiery blow to play the role of red pepper powder.

When Oh Se-yeon came out, she smiled first.




"You did so well last season. However, he needs to perform somewhat this year to improve his skills. If you don't do that, you'll remain a glittering player. We've talked about that a lot since the offseason, and the player worked really hard as well."

Director Lee Young-taek said, `Choi Yu-rim also has a clear strength in height. I'll give you an opportunity to continue using it and grow," he stressed.

Every year he starts the season with the goal of reducing Silva's burden, but it rarely goes his way. Silva's shoulders are heavy again this year due to Lee Ju-ah's cruciate ligament injury.

Coach Lee Young-taek said, `In the end, when the opponent marks Silva intensively, you have to penetrate the other side to make Silva comfortable. In addition, Raina has good attack power, and Yoo Se-yeon and Kwon Min-ji are also players who attack to some extent. Still, the goal is to reduce Silva's weight of attack as much as possible."
