"He started hitting his ball with strength." I think it's going to get better and better."

He was a representative middle blocker in the V-League. Star player who elevated her status in Korean women's volleyball by participating in the 2012 London Olympics, 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, and 2020 Tokyo Olympics. But the age and injuries of his mid-30s held him back. Recently, more attention has been paid to when he plays rather than his performance in the game.

Kim Hee-jin, who has only worn IBK uniforms ever since joining the IBK Industrial Bank as a new team's preferred name at the time of the establishment of IBK Industrial Bank, moved to Hyundai Engineering & Construction by trade ahead of this season.




Hyundai Engineering & Construction believed in veteran Kim Hee-jin's experience to fill the void of Lee Da-hyun, who moved to Heungkuk Life Insurance. The season, which started with expectations and worries, is turning into a situation where expectations are increasing.

Kim Hee-jin scored eight points in a home game against GS Caltex in the Jin Air 2025-2026 V-League at Suwon Gymnasium on the 2nd, helping his team win the set score 3-0. He added 5 points with an attack and 3 points with a block.

It shows a 50% success rate in the last match against Heungkuk Life Insurance and this match against GS Caltex, showing an improving attack.




Blocking also made as many as seven blocks at the Jeonggwanjang match on November 25 and is gradually increasing its presence by catching two to three per game.

Director Kang Sung-hyung of Hyundai Engineering & Construction said, `Kim Hee-jin does not have much market share on the fastball side. So, I hope you show more activism when you give it to me"As I continue to play, I jump a lot and my knee is not good, but I think I need to take care of it as well."

Kim Hee-jin said, "(I'm not in a bad condition today, either) when Kang talked about his management. Since the Jeonggwanjangjeon, my condition suddenly rose, so I used my body not only in my knees but also in general. I think you can take a good rest"




"It's been a long time since I've played the main role."In the first round, Kim Hee-jin was sorry and afraid to make a mistake. So I had to go to the next step, but I couldn't go because I was tied to a mistake. In the second round, I think that acknowledging mistakes and trying to do the next thing quickly reduces the burden on my team members, so I'm going to take it one step further. "I think I'll be better in the third and fourth rounds." He explained his mindset.

When asked if he was satisfied with his current performance, Kim Hee-jin, who said, `I think I can do more,' said, `I think I can do it a little better because I started hitting the ball with strength," threw a hopeful message.
