According to a Korean Air official on the 22nd, the Korean Volleyball Association sent an official letter to Korean Air asking for cooperation with Jung Ji-seok’s call for strengthening training for the national team. Jung Ji-seok, who participated in the 2023 Asian Men’s Club Volleyball Championship, the youngest in Manama, Bahrain on the 21st, will enter the country on the 23rd, take a day off, and enter the Jincheon National Training Center on the 24th.
Jung Ji-seok, who graduated from Songrim High School and participated in the 2013-2014 rookie draft and was nominated by Korean Air in the 2nd round and 6th place, made his professional debut. Among his outside hitters, he has grown into a representative player of the V-League, showing outstanding skills in receiving and defense as well as offensive power with a height of 194cm, which is one of the tallest players. Thanks to Jung Ji-seok’s stormy growth, Korean Air lifted the first championship trophy in the 2017-2018 season after the launch of the V-League, and achieved three consecutive wins from the 2020-2021 season to the 2022-2023 season. He won the regular league MVP in the 2018-2019 and 2020-2021 seasons, and also won the championship MVP in the 2020-2021 season.
Jeong Ji-seok was suspended from the national team for one year at the National Team Reinforcement Training Deliberation Committee held at the Korea Sports Council on May 6 last year. It is analyzed that as the disciplinary action was lifted on the 6th of this month, coach Lim Do-heon summoned Jung Ji-seok to the national team again to strengthen the national defense.
The national team led by Lim Do-heon will participate in the 2023 Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) Challenger Cup held in Taipei, Taiwan from July 8 to 15. The players included in the national team’s training list were summoned to the Jincheon National Training Center on the 1st and started training.
Korean Air players who participated in the 2023 Asian Men’s Club Volleyball Championship will join after the tournament. Jung Ji-seok, Kim Kyu-min, Lim Dong-hyuk, Jeong Han-yong, and Kim Min-jae will arrive at Incheon International Airport at noon on the 23rd, take a day off, and enter the Jincheon National Training Center on the 24th.
