"Volleyball Empress" Kim Yeon-kyung has gained a strong partner. Jung Yoon-joo (22, Heungkuk Life Insurance), who has joined the team for five years, is the main character.
In volleyball, an outside-heater (left) must possess both offensive and defensive capabilities. When he has potential, he should play as a scorer, and at the back-end, he should participate in sub-receiving. For this reason, it is common for the left to play one player each, and sit diagonally to each other in the rotation. Teams with good ball and water capabilities in both teams can have strong capabilities.
Heungkuk Life had thirst for one left that was paired with Kim Yeon-koung. Kim Mi-yeon (current GS Caltex), who played the most sets in the last two seasons, lacked a little offense.
"This season is different. It is all thanks to Jeong Yoon-ju who showed remarkable improvement in her performance. She scored 298 points and posted an attack success rate of 37.22 percent in 25 matches (89 sets) she participated in. She ranks 11th in scoring and 9th in attack success rate. Narrowing the scope into Korean players, she ranks fourth after Kim Yeon-koung, Kang So-hwi (Korea Expressway Corporation), and Park Jung-ah (Pepper Savings Bank). The other three players are already recognized as the best players in the V-League.
Jung Yoon-joo joined Heungkuk Life Insurance as the third choice in the second round of the 2021 rookie draft. Since her high school days in Daegu, she has drawn attention due to her high jumping ability and fast arm swing compared to her height (1m76cm). She scored 203 points in the debut season (2020-21), showing a promising performance, but her playing time in the next two seasons was greatly reduced due to injuries and sluggish performance. However, she rebounded by showing good performance from the KOVO Cup that she played in September last year, and eventually took the left spot of Heungkuk Life after the opening of the V-League this season. 메이저놀이터
The biggest strength of Jung is her ability to attack backward (backattack). She is ranked second only to Kim Yeon-koung in both attempts (85) and success (32) in Korea. Her success rate (37.65 percent) is sixth overall. Last season, only Kim Yeon-koung was the Korean striker who attempted backattack more than 10 times. With Jung as the main player, Heungkuk Life's routes to attack have diversified. On top of that, Jung is ranked second to Korean players after Yeom Hye-sun (director Jeong) by scoring 0.270 submissions per set. She is proving her ability to attack "all weather."
Lee Go-eun, the main setter of Heungkuk Life Insurance, said of Jung Yoon-joo, "I can feel your growth. I believe in him and am giving him credit because he is an outstanding offensive player." "He has ups and downs, but he has grown a lot."
Jung Yoon-joo said, "I know that no one can grow fast. I think it's important to build up my inner strength slowly and become solid." On his ability to receive sub-receives, Jung Yoon-joo said, "I have a lot of energy, but my seniors are helping me a lot, and I am playing to make up for my shortcomings."
