Women’s professional volleyball Korea Expressway Corporation lost two key members of the championship at once before the glory of the miraculous ‘V2’ was gone. The club plans to focus its efforts on cracking down on the remaining domestic rabbits.

On the 18th, the women’s volleyball FA (free agent) market was burning hot. Korea Expressway Corporation outside hitter Park Jung-ah, who was considered the biggest player, surprised volleyball fans by transferring to Pepper Savings Bank for an annual salary of 775 million won and a total of 2.325 billion won over three years.

Park Jung-ah was the main character who led the miracle of Korea Expressway Corporation in the 2022-2023 V-League Women’s Championship Final. Korea Expressway Corporation kneeled at Heungkuk Life Insurance in the 1st and 2nd games, but won the 3rd and 4th games held in Gimcheon’s home room, and then won the 5th game after a full set of bloody battles and achieved the first ‘reverse sweep’ championship in V-League history. .

Park Jung-ah was responsible for the most 24 points for both teams in game 3 and the second most 20 points in game 4 in the team, showing off the aspect of ‘clutch park’ without regret. It was Park Jung-ah who not only scored 23 points in the 5th game, but also scored the winning points.

Korea Expressway Corporation’s first integrated championship in the 2018-2019 season would have been impossible without Park Jung-ah. Naturally, the club wanted to capture Park Jung-ah, who became the symbol of the team.

However, Park Jung-ah chose the challenge at Pepper Savings Bank. After much thought, he leaves Gimcheon and builds a new nest in Gwangju, and faces Korea Expressway Corporation as an enemy from the next season.

‘Eldest sister’ Jeong Dae-young’s trip to GS Caltex was also a big shock to Korea Expressway Corporation. Jung Dae-young returned to GS Caltex after 9 years with a contract period of 1 year and a total of 300 million won. As Bae Yoo-na and Jeong Dae-young, who were the strongest middle blockers in the women’s division, transferred to another club, Korea Expressway Corporation’s power suffered a major bleed. 

It is not that there was no prospect that it would be difficult to capture all five free agents under the influence of the salary cap (2.8 billion won in the 2023-2024 season), but the worst scenario in which Park Jung-ah and Jeong Dae-young transferred at the same time appeared to be a reality. 

Korea Expressway Corporation has a plan to draw a sketch for the next season’s ‘Suseong’ through selection of Asian quarter/foreign players after retaining free agents Bae Yoo-na, Moon Jeong-won, and Jeon Sae-yan. 

Bae Yoo-na, the top middle blocker in the V-League, Moon Jeong-won, an apologetic spiker with excellent defense, and Jeon Sae-yan, an outside hitter, are all indispensable resources for Korea Expressway Corporation. It is known that the contract with Korea Expressway Corporation is going smoothly for all three.

An official from the Korea Expressway Corporation said,안전놀이터 “Contract negotiations with Bae Yoo-na, Moon Jeong-won, and Jeon Sae-yan are in progress. I think I can say that good results will come sooner or later,” showing confidence in the three remaining.
