Hyundai Engineering & Construction Kim Hee-jin achieved a total of 600 blocks. It is the eighth time in V-League history.

Kim Hee-jin completed 600 blocking of the standard record in the V-League's Jeonggwanjang match held at Suwon Gymnasium on the 26th. Kim Hee-jin had a total of 376 games, 1309 sets, and 599 blocks before the game.

Veteran Yang Hyo-jin is having difficulty managing his condition, and Na Hyun-soo is on standby as a backup for foreign player Kari with knee pain. Hyundai Engineering & Construction coach Kang Sung-hyung believes in veteran Kim Hee-jin's experience instead of newcomers and is using him as the main middle blocker.




Kim Hee-jin, who had seven points and one block in the match against Heungkuk Life Insurance earlier, finally filled 600 blocks as he blocked Jeong Ho-young's attack in the second set 2-3. Yang Hyo-jin (Hyundai Engineering & Construction), Jeong Dae-young (retired), Kim Soo-ji (Hungkuk Life), Bae Yu-na (Road Corporation), Kim Se-young and Han Song-yi (retired).

Kim Hee-jin competed with Chung Kwan-jang Park Hye-min at 19-16 in the first set. However, Park Hye-min's net touch was recognized, and it was not recognized as a blocking. He finally added a block in the second set.

Kim Hee-jin, who was born in 1991, has been loved by volleyball fans for playing in London 2012, Rio de Janeiro 2016, and Tokyo 2020. He was also a one-club man and franchise star of IBK Industrial Bank for 14 seasons until last year.

However, he ended his life on Mars this year and changed his uniform to Hyundai Engineering & Construction. He is a one-club man, but it was to find a breakthrough in a situation where he was increasingly treated outside of his power. Kim Hee-jin played more than 100 sets every year from the 2021-2022 season, but his playing time has been reduced due to chronic knee pain. In particular, he played only 26 sets in 14 games in the 2023-2024 season and 53 sets in 30 games last season.

In fact, he seemed to be on the verge of retirement, but Kim Hee-jin's willingness to extend his active career was great.

Before the game, Hyundai Engineering & Construction coach Kang Sung-hyung said, `I think I've come up with a good condition from watching him train. (Kim)I didn't have much time to work with Dain, but it was good to see him trying to match each other during practice. I saved one block to do it in front of my home fans." He then exclaimed, `It's the eighth time ever, so you've blocked that many times.'
