Veteran middle blocker Jeong Dae-young’s volleyball clock keeps running.
On the 18th, GS Caltex, directed by coach Sang-Hyun Cha, reported on the recruitment of Jung Dae-Young through a press release. After completing the 2022-23 season, Jung Dae-young, who obtained the 6th free agent (FA) qualification, signed a contract with GS Caltex for a total of 300 million won (250 million won in annual salary and 50 million won in options) for one year.
GS Caltex succeeded in strengthening the middle blocker, which was a weakness. Dae-Young Jeong wrote history as the 6th free agent contract in the history of the women’s division.
To Daeyoung Jeong, GS Caltex is not unfamiliar. He played for GS Caltex from the 2007-08 season to the 2013-14 season. She also lifted the trophy in the 2007-08 season and the 2013-14 season, and gave birth to her precious daughter, Bo Min-yang, while at GS Caltex.
Jeong Dae-young, who continued his career as a player at Korea Expressway Corporation from 2014 to last season, showed his rust-free skills even at an old age and added strength to the Expressway Corporation’s two championships. Even in the 2022-23 season, he ranked 3rd in blocking and 11th in fast attack, and did not fall behind among young players.
Jung Dae-young, who had a phone call with MK Sports on the 18th, said, “I am grateful to GS Caltex for signing a contract on good terms despite my age. He did not think that he would transfer the team, but I am proud to have a good opportunity.”
“Director Cha Sang-hyun expressed his wish to take good care of his body and show a good appearance as a veteran. I also want to harmonize well with young players and show a good figure.” “There are many good players at GS Caltex. The middle blocker had a vacant seat and had poor grades, but I will do my best to achieve good results next season.”안전놀이터
When Jung Dae-young was playing at GS Caltex, he did not have a clubhouse like it does now. He went around Gangnam University and worked hard without a clubhouse.
Jeong Dae-young also said, “Unlike in the past, I really like the GS Caltex lodging now. It has a lot of good things. I thought it would help me a lot. It’s definitely a good part for a player,” he laughed.
Returning to his parent’s home after 9 years, but before that, Jeong Dae-young feels sorry for the road construction and fans in his heart. He was passionately loved by road construction fans, and in particular, in the 2022-23 season, he created a reverse victory that will go down in the history of the V-League and shared a dream-like moment with him, so he is even more sorry.
Jeong Dae-young said, “I had a lot of heartache while deciding to transfer, and it was difficult. Now that I’ve made my decision, all that remains is to do well. I haven’t taken my luggage out of the dorm yet. On the 20th, all the staff said they were there, so I plan to unpack, say hello, and have a last meal at that time.”
He added, “The fans of the Korea Expressway Corporation have supported us so much. Thanks to this, he was able to continue his career as a player rather than retire. thanks. I am very sorry for leaving, but thank you for supporting me.”
His daughter, Bo Min-yang, is active as an elite volleyball player. I am currently in the first year of middle school, and I am planning to apply for the draft after 5 years, but many people are wondering, ‘Will mother and daughter really stand on the court together?’
Jung Dae-young also said, “I heard that a lot. I’m grateful, but it’s actually not easy.” He laughed and said, “It’s hard to think about what will happen five years from now. I can do it now, but I don’t know what will happen then. Right now, I’m just looking at one year, one year,” he smiled.
Lastly, Jung Dae-young said, “I played a big sister role in the road construction. Even at GS Caltex, I will work hard to become a strong team by integrating well with young players. I will do my best to finish with good grades,” she said.
