When will Lee So-young (31, IBK Industrial Bank) be able to return as Lee So-young as we know her.
IBK Industrial Bank, led by head coach Kim Ho-chul, lost a set score of 1-3 (18-25, 25-18, 20-25, 23-25) in an away match against Heungkuk Life in the fourth round of the Dodram 2024-2025 V-League at Samsan World Gymnasium in Incheon on the 21st.
IBK Industrial Bank of Korea plunged into a five-game losing streak to rank fourth with 11 wins and 11 losses (33 points) for this season. With 11 consecutive wins, it failed to narrow the gap with Chung, who is eight points ahead.
The gap between the main setter Chun Shin-tong, who was away due to an ankle injury, seemed huge. Backups Kim Ha-kyung and Kim Yoon-woo tried to fill the vacancy, but discord with the strikers was inevitable. Foreign player Victoria's 29 points (38.81 percent attack success rate) performance, including three blocks, faded from the defeat.
Another was the lack of support from native resources, but Lee So-young, who is "700 million pal," stepped on the court as a substitute in the third set, which did not help her performance at all.
Before the 2024-2025 season, Lee signed a three-year free agent contract with IBK Industrial Bank of Korea for a total of 2.1 billion won (annual salary of 700 million won), drawing attention as the ace who will lead IBK, a renowned volleyball player, to spring volleyball again. Introducing Lee as a "wingspider with both attack and defense," IBK Industrial Bank of Korea said, "He is the right person to solve the last puzzle of IBK's volleyball team, which suffered a lot at the moment of close competition last season."
It was the injury that blocked Lee So-young's path. As right shoulder pain recurred just before the opening of the season, coach Kim Ho-chul's plans were all out of line. Lee So-young, who stepped on the court for a while only when she needed to strengthen her defense, made her first start of the season at the Jeonggwanjang on the 14th, raising fans' expectations, but she spent an overwhelming amount of time in the warm-up zone in both the Hyundai Construction match on the 17th and the Heungkuk Life match on the 21st, whether her shoulder condition worsened again.
It would be frustrating to see a high-paid player who gets paid 700 million won a year in the warm-up zone in the fourth round as well. "I got advice that my shoulder (is) okay even after the hospital checkup," coach Kim Ho-cheol said. "Now is the time to overcome and overcome." "He is said to be able to participate in all training sessions and play games, but cannot fully control his shoulders. Isn't Lee a striker after all? He should use his shoulders when sleeping."
However, we cannot blindly blame Lee on the current reality. Recurrence of injury was not his will, and since his shoulder condition has improved, he is making efforts to make a comeback. This is why the head coach said he would give Lee one more chance. 메이저놀이터
"At this point, I think it's him who is suffering the most," Kim said, reflecting on the player's mind, adding, "If possible, I will leave it to myself. You have to wait until you overcome it. Since I told him to do it again, I wonder if he will overcome it as well. I will examine it during the game and continue to put in the team when it gets better."
