In the Asian quarter draft of the V League on May 1-3, a large number of Chinese players for the women's team and Iranian players for the men's team were selected.
The difference was that if the women's team had two new contractors, the men's team was replaced with a new face.
First of all, the women's team strengthened its height by appointing Zhang Yu, a tall middle blocker from China, as expected by the No. 1 Pepper Savings Bank.
In particular, IBK Industrial Bank of Korea also selected Chinese setter Chen Shintong as the next best option as Thai setter Ponpoon, who had been considering re-agreement, declared his absence.
Moreover, Heungkuk Life Insurance also selected Chinese middle blocker Hwang Rui-rey to fill the gap of Lee Ju-ah, who transferred to IBK Industrial Bank.
In addition, the Korea Expressway Corporation strengthened its offense by appointing Kazakhstan's outside heater Unieska Robles Batista, and GS Caltex selected Australia's outside heater Stephanie Wyler to fill the gap of Kang So-hwi, who transferred to the Korea Expressway Corporation.
In addition, Hyundai Engineering & Construction's Wipawi and Chung Kwan-jang's Mega, who played last year, renewed their contracts in recognition of their victory and entry into spring volleyball, respectively, so that they can be seen again this season.
For the men's team, the first-ranked Woori Card picked Ali Hagparast from Iran, who was born in 2004, and the second-ranked OK Financial Group selected Ji Yong-long, a former Chinese national team member, to strengthen its offense.
In this regard, Woori Card is expected to ease the burden on domestic outside heaters, while OK Financial Group is expected to turn into an apogit spiker if it renews its contract with Leo.
