“Before the season started, other teams said that our card was weak,

but I think it proves that we are a strong team,” Park said confidently,

“We didn’t win the first round, but we will win the second round and run first.”

“If the team wins, the label of ‘volleyball player Park Jun-hyuk’ will naturally follow,”

said Park, who is known as the brother of women’s professional basketball star Park Ji-soo (Cheongju KB).

I want to perform well as a team rather than as an individual.”

“I’m more confident in my offense than last year,”

he said, joking that it’s a shame that setter Han Tae-joon doesn’t serve the ball well.
