Heungkuk Life Insurance has found a foreign striker who will be paired with Kim Yeon-koung in the 2024-25 season.
Heungkuk Life Insurance selected Apogit Spiker Tutku Burj (25, 1m91cm) from Turkiye in the foreign player draft held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on the 9th (Korea time).
As Hyundai E&C has renewed its contract with MOMA (Letizia MOMA BASOKO), Heungkuk Life Insurance, which was in fact the last player in the team, was selected in front of all the players in mind, and he expressed his concern by asking for time. “I think I was not lucky enough to win the lottery,” said Heungkuk Life coach Marcello Avondan. He used to play as the second Apogit Spiker for Fenerbahce in Turkiye. He has experience in overseas sports as well. He also knows his personality, so I thought he would be a good player to help our team.”
Willow Johnson, who played as a substitute last season, also submitted an application to join, but chose a new foreign player for Heungkuk Life Insurance. Of the four players who played in the V-League last season, Willow was the only one who applied for participation. MOMA and Gisele Silva (GS Caltex) renewed their contracts, and Banya Bukirich will change into a uniform for the Korea Expressway Corporation.
Of course, Heungkuk Life’s goal for the 2024-25 season is to win. Kim Yeon-koung, who was named MVP in the 2022-23 season and the 2023-24 season in a row, is participating.
Although she expressed her intention to retire during the 2022-23 season, she decided to play for another year after being “reverse swept” by the Korea Expressway Corporation in the championship game. She had a fierce battle with Hyundai Engineering & Construction last season but knelt down after losing all three games at the championship game. She has decided to continue playing on the court next season.
Heungkuk Life Insurance tried to recruit an outside heater to pair with Kim Yeon-koung in the FA (free agent) market, but failed. Rather, middle blocker Lee Ju-ah became an FA and left for IBK Industrial Bank, resulting in a power vacuum.
Avon Danza said, “We considered selecting outside heater Anastasia Gueira, but we plan to give Kim many opportunities next season. I hope she grows up.” “Turquoise bourgeois is a different type from Willow. We will have to watch other players’ teamwork,” Avon Danza said. “We plan to make changes to four to five players across the team. Park Hye-jin will likely be the main player in the setter.”
Tutku bourgeois said, “I’m so excited to play with Kim Yeon-koung, who has been my idol since childhood. It’s like a dream. I can’t explain how I feel. I saw Kim play for Fenerbahce. If I meet her, I may not be able to speak well,” expressing her excitement.
