"It's my strength to be able to take care of the atmosphere for sure."

Shin Ho-jin (24, Hyundai Capital) recently held three meetings with Hyundai Capital coach Philip Blanc.

Shin Ji-jin "The coach said we can just play the way he's playing now. He also asked me to cheer up the team." Shin Ji-jin "I think that's my character again. It is also my strength to be able to take responsibility for the atmosphere. I am confident of showing interesting volleyball at home or away."




This season, Shin will take on a new challenge. After the end of last season, he wore a Hyundai Capital uniform in a one-on-one trade with Jeon Kwang-in (OK Savings Bank).

He transferred to Hyundai Capital, but spent busy days as a member of the men's volleyball team. I also went to the FIVB 2025 World Championship. The national team suffered from elimination from the group stage, but Shin Ho-jin showed competitiveness in the third game against Finland by scoring 24 points, the most in the team.

Joining the team, he was an outside heater and turned into an apogee spiker.




Joining Nagoya training camp in Japan "Playing in front of world-class players, there was no contraction. Although the results were not good, I think I experienced a little bit of world volleyball. Certainly, there was a level difference in the details" and "I felt that most of it had to be supplemented. As there were many players with good heights, there was a limit to making angles when playing fast. As well as pushing and hitting, I came to think about how to score. I also have to make up for my weaknesses, blocking and serve. I will use what I learned at the World Championships in the season."

There are about two weeks left until the opening of the 2025-2026 season. Shin said "I haven't trained for a few days, but the level is very high. In such a team, one mistake feels very big. I feel like I'm training as if I'm playing every day. He said, "My breathing is so good that I feel that I can do it well just by looking at my eyes."

He reunited with Bayarsaihan (Mongolia) and foreign player Leo (Cuba) in the Asian quarter at OK Savings Bank. In particular, Bayarsaihan is likely to compete in good faith for an apogit position. Hyundai Capital has a task to fill the vacancy of last season's Asian quarter Shin Feng (China).




Shin Ji-jin "Both of them feel like their own brothers and have a quarrel. The team has changed, but not to mention the skills"It's convenient if there are many players who can hit a big attack." It was the same for the national team, but rather than competition, I try to show what I have as much as possible. It is up to the director to make the decision afterwards. Regardless of who plays, shouldn't we try in a positive direction so that it can be a plus factor for the team?"

Hyundai Capital will win its second consecutive title as the defending champion. The role of the apogit, the signal, is also clearly needed. Shin said "Hyundai Capital felt like a fairly aggressive team. "I think the team's color turned the game around that I couldn't win," he said. "I think there is a high probability of winning, but we have to focus on one game step by step rather than the future." I won't be complacent"I'm determined.
