"The government is still like my house. I remember all the fans' faces."

Korea Electric Power Corp.'s veteran Libero Jung Min-soo looked particularly light in an away game against KB Insurance at Kyungmin University Gymnasium in Uijeongbu on the 2nd. There was no shaking at all in the opponent's strong serve, and he defended the team's rear line with his fighting spirit. Amid Jung Min-soo's performance, KEPCO defeated powerhouse KB Insurance with a set score of 3-0. The second round's collapse threatened the top teams.

Jung Min-soo is left with a lot of emotion. He was wearing a KB Insurance uniform just a few months ago. However, after the end of the season, KB Insurance recruited Lim Sung-jin, a star who played for KEPCO, as an FA, and Jung Min-soo headed to KEPCO as a compensation player. In volleyball, only five protected players, including FA recruited players, can be grouped together.




In fact, Jung Min-soo, the main libero, was classified as a player who will be included in the protected list unconditionally. However, KB Insurance strategically released Jung Min-soo from the protected list in consideration of Kim Do-hoon, who returned from his commercial service at the end of last year. Korea Electric Power Corporation, which needed power immediately, nominated Jung Min-soo, calling for joy. There was a huge aftermath in the volleyball world.

It could have been a big wound for the player himself. It was a situation where I could even think, "How can the club abandon me like this?" Since joining KB Insurance in 2018, he has been an indispensable leading player.

Perhaps that's why Jung Min-soo really wanted to win against KB Insurance in his first showdown in the first round. But the team lost, and he was sluggish. However, he succeeded in avenging himself in the second round.




Jung Min-soo said, `I really wanted to win in the first round. I tried to be more serious than other games. But it became poisonous. If I did well in the first round, I would have won. But I didn't get my opponent's serve. There was a lot of pressure. So I went into the second round with a more comfortable mind. Of course, I never wanted to lose. I did it desperately.'

Jung Min-soo said "Honestly, when I come to Uijeongbu, it's still like my house. Just looking at the fans' faces, I remember every single one of them. I still feel like I'm a KB Insurance player. When I come to Uijeongbu, I have a hard time emotionally. I don't think I'll be able to show 100% of my performance." Then "The club gave me a welcome event before the first round game, so I got even more emotional and shook at the game. Of course, I was so grateful, but it was hard to pull myself together," he confessed honestly.

Jung Min-soo last played well in the second round, but I don't think he will be able to overcome my feelings 100% in Uijeongbu in the future. I really loved Uijeongbu. Even after moving the team, he cheered for KB Insurance. The players are all like my babies. I hope we win this year, and KB Insurance will win next time. Maybe one day you can. However, of course, there is a wish that we would not be able to do it only when we do it with us."
