“I was in bed on the first day, and I was crying.”

“The first day I came to Gimcheon, I lay in bed and tears came out.”

Korea Expressway Corporation, led by head coach Kim Jong-min, gave up middle blocker Lee Ye-dam and Apogit Spiker Shin Eun-ji through a 2-2 trade with Chung Kwan-jang Red Sparks on the morning of the 3rd of last month, and brought outside heater Kim Se-in, a second-round draft pick for the 2024-25 season, and setter Ha Hyo-rim (26).

The notable name here is Ha Hyo-rim. Ha Hyo-rim has not been seen on the court of the recent V-League. After wearing the Korea Expressway Corporation uniform as the sixth pick in the second round in 2016, he traded to KGC Ginseng Corporation (currently Jeong Kwan-jang) in 2018. He then served as a backup setter, but left the professional stage after the end of the 2021-22 season.

Ha Hyo-rim, who was mentally exhausted, opened a new volleyball life at Suwon City Hall after announcing the voluntary termination. However, as she played on the business stage, her desperation for the V-League court grew again. When Park Eun-ji left, the Korea Expressway Corporation, which needed to strengthen the setter, set up a negotiation table with Jeonggwanjang, and there were talks about Ha Hyo-rim’s trade, which eventually allowed Ha Hyo-rim to transfer after the termination of the voluntary termination.

Ha Hyo-rim joined the Korea Expressway Corporation team in early June and is sweating profusely as she is waiting for her return to the V-League. “I feel dazed and happy to be back in the professional league,” Ha said after talking with a reporter at the Korea Expressway Corporation Practice Gymnasium in Gimcheon, North Gyeongsang Province on Sunday. “On the first day I came here, I lay down on the bed and tears started coming up. I tried to hold it in but it just flowed. I thought, “What should I do? Will I be able to do well? I am doing my best.”
Even though they trained on the job, they didn’t train as much as they did while they were professionals. As a result, they have to devote more time to training than other players. Stretching.

“Training is really difficult,” Ha Hyo-rim said with a smile, adding, “I focused on strengthening exercises for a week after joining the team. As I couldn’t hold my muscles, I focused on weight training, and now I’m focusing on ball exercises and toss form correction. Since I had a break period, I’m trying to show a stable form under the guidance of coach (Lee Hyo-hee).”

Ha Hyo-rim is in the V-League and played 88 games. He played only six games during his two seasons with Korea Expressway Corporation, but when he was with KGC, he excelled in playing as a backup setter. He will compete in good faith with Lee Yoon-jung, a one-year-old setter, for the starting position.

“Of course, my desire to become the starting pitcher is in the back of my mind,” Ha Hyo-rim said. “But I don’t try to be too greedy. It’s important that I do my best where I can.”

“Coming here, I felt a lot of my shortcomings. That’s why I just want to help my team even a little bit now,” he said. “Of course, I have a great desire to play in the game. Wouldn’t any player want to play in more games and stay on the court for longer?”안전토토사이트

In addition, Ha Hyo-rim said, “It is important to have a high set success rate, and it is also important to lead the team to victory. However, I want to show a little bolder and brighter side than before,” adding, “I will do my best as much as I can in my position. If there is a chance to surpass me, I want to overcome it.”

Ha Hyo-rim is back in the V-League after two years and is back in the Korea Expressway Corporation after six years. How will Ha Hyo-rim’s 2024-25 season be? Let’s look forward to Ha Hyo-rim’s second episode of volleyball, which says, “It doesn’t feel real right now.”
