Heungkuk Life’s ‘transfer setter’ Lee Won-jeong (23) led the team to a complete victory in the confrontation between the 1st and 2nd place of ‘Preview Spring Volleyball’ by performing not only in attack command but also in blocking.
Heungkuk Life Insurance won a complete victory with a set score of 3-0 (25-21 27-25 25-15) in the 2022-23 V-League Hyundai E&C match held at Suwon Gymnasium in Gyeonggi Province on the 7th.

On this day, Heungkuk Life Insurance overwhelmed Hyundai E&C without a foreign player and starting libero Kim Yeon-gyeon with the firepower of two wings Kim Yeon-kyung (22 points) and Yelena (20 points). However, the blocking of 176 cm tall setter Lee Won-jeong was more noticeable. Lee Won-jeong not only played the role of attacking command tower with proper ball distribution, but also played a decisive role in the team’s victory by scoring the most 4 points among both teams only through blocking. Following Lee Won-jeong, professional middle blocker Lee Joo-ah and Kim Chae-yeon, and side blocker Kim Yeon-kyung each scored 1 block. He built a more solid barrier than the opponent’s ‘eternal national center’ Yang Hyo-jin (Hyundai Engineering & Construction, 1 point in blocking).
Lee Won-jeong played a decisive role in the momentum fight by scoring 3 points in blocking only in the first set, which was the match. In the first set, 1-1, he blocked Ji-yoon Jeong’s conversion attack with a single block, raising his momentum and scoring an additional blocking score in 13-9. In particular, in a situation chased by 19-19, he did not lose the initiative by blocking Go Ye-rim’s attack once again. In the third set, Lee Won-jung also scored an extra point by blocking. Lee Won-jeong also recorded 5 effective blockings, performing on a par with Lee Joo-ah (10), Kim Mi-yeon (5), and Kim Yeon-kyung (4). Hyundai E&C director Kang Seong-hyeong also said, “(Heungkuk Life Insurance’s) setter blocking was low, but with Lee Won-jeong, it increased. It seems to remain as homework.”
She is also faithful to her ‘main job’, attack command, and leads the attack success rate by 41.9%. Kim Dae-gyeong, acting coach of Heungkuk Life Insurance, was also satisfied that “the ball given to Kim Yeon-kyung by Lee Won-jeong setter was delivered beautifully, so I was able to raise (score) a little more” and “the aggressive play I prepared came out well.”
Lee Won-jung, who is in her 6th season since her debut in 2017, transferred to Heungkuk Life Insurance, which is experiencing setter troubles, after failing to get a chance to play at GS Caltex this season. And he is seizing opportunities little by little, such as making a substitution two days after the transfer and raising the share and success rate of team ace Kim Yeon-kyung at the same time.
