An official from the club who spoke to the magazine on the same day said, “Since last week, we have had a one-week negotiation period with the player, signed a one-year contract, and there is a possibility of slight change in the amount.” In addition, regarding the annual salary, he said, “There is a part that the club has devoted as a franchise, and I have talked with the player several times about the conditions, and after adjusting the range of change in the amount several times, I have agreed.”
When asked about the next position, he said, “As for other clubs, the Apposite Spiker part has the possibility of being recruited as a mercenary, and the middle blocker also has existing players (Kim Hyun-jung, Choi Jeong-min), and there is a possibility of supplementing through the Asian Quarter or other methods. The outline is not perfect,” he said. “It is still difficult to confirm Kim Hee-jin’s position (middle blocker, apositive spiker backup). I ran after it,” he said cautiously.
