Eunjin Park said, “I learned from my parents that there are things more important than money.
“It would be nice to get a lot of money, but he said it would be better to sign a contract that does not put a burden on having fun playing volleyball,” he said.

“Thanks to these two players, I had an enjoyable season, and it was a big opportunity that made me decide to stay on this team.”
He also thanked coach Ko Hee-jin.

“Once I developed that habit, I felt calmer and became stronger with my teammates” he said.
“From then on, the team also started to rise,” he said.
He added, “The story of a rugby player is particularly memorable.
The coach told the player to ‘crawl from end to end of the field,’ but he said he only made it halfway.
“Then the coach told me again to ‘go blindfolded and go,’ so I ended up going all the way,” he said.
“It was a famous saying that said, ‘If you don’t set limits, you can do more,’ and I was impressed.”
Now Eunjin Park dreams bigger.
We look at the championship match, which we never made it to because we lost in the playoffs this season.
Park Eun-jin said, “Last season, I was shaken at the beginning and did well in the second half to advance to spring volleyball.
If I reduce these ups and downs in the new season and do well consistently, I think I can aim for the championship.”
“I lost in the playoffs, but I am in a bad situation (due to injury, etc.).”
“We beat Heungkuk Life Insurance once, and having the experience of spring volleyball in itself will be good nourishment for us.
I definitely want to go to the championship match and win next season,” he said.
