With the completion of the rebuilding, the men’s volleyball Hyundai Capital’s season, which challenged to win the championship match, ended in disappointment. They failed to win once in the championship match and lost the championship to Korean Air with a series record of 0-3. However, even in the midst of that, the performance of the native apogee Heo Soo-bong shone. The team scored the most points in every match and struggled. Despite Jeon Kwang-in’s injury and Oreoll’s sluggishness, he led the team’s attack and faced the strongest Korean Air. I met Heo Soo-bong, who has now emerged as the team and national team main gun at the core of Hyundai Capital rebuilding, at the Grand Hyatt Seoul Hotel in Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the 10th before the 2022-2023 V-League Awards Ceremony.
Heo Soo-bong continued his ‘crazy performance’ from the온라인바카라, playoffs with KEPCO. It was the same in the championship game. In the first three games of the playoffs, he scored 62 points with a combined attack success rate of 53.4%, and scored 60 points with an attack success rate of 50.9% in the three championship games. Still, he couldn’t help but laugh. In the third match of the championship match, which was aimed at counterattacking at the edge of the cliff, even after winning two sets first, it was not possible to win in the end. In the second game, she made a series of mistakes in the final third set and shed tears. Heo Soo-bong said, “In the end, it was one ball difference, but it was not caught,” and “I felt once again that I had to pay more attention to each ball to win.”
With his debut in the 2016-2017 season, Heo Soo-bong received a lot of attention as the future of Hyundai Capital. During the playoffs in the 3rd year season, he played an active role as an apogee in place of the injured foreign main gun Padar, and was recognized for his potential with the nickname ‘Hurdar’, and after being discharged from the business, he has established himself as the team’s main gun. This season, which ended the two-year rebuilding, Heo Soo-bong properly lived up to coach Choi Tae-woong’s expectations, saying, “Now you are the ace.” As the season progressed, the offensive power increased. He led the team’s jump to first place at one point in the 5th round and was also selected as the round MVP. Heo Soo-bong said, “At the beginning of the season, my confidence was a bit low because of my bad back, but my back condition got better and I started getting along well with setter (Lee) Hyun-seung, so my record seems to have improved.” I built up, and I was able to grow in that way.”
Heo Soo-bong obtained the qualification as a free agent (FA) player at the end of this season. As one of the few ‘native’ apositives in Korea, it was designated as the largest language early on by solving military problems. It is a resource that cannot be missed by Hyundai Capital, who is aiming to win next season. Free agency is not always an easy choice for a professional player, but Heo Su-bong also has a lot of attachment to Hyundai Capital, which he has been with since his debut.
Heo Soo-bong said, “If possible, I want to win Hyundai Capital next season,” though he was seriously thinking about his first professional free agent. “There are so many talented young players on the team,” he said. “If teamwork improves, Hyundai Capital will become stronger.”
He also revealed his desire to be in the league’s best 7 with apogee. He said, “Honestly, I think a little bit, ‘Why did I come to the awards ceremony when I can’t even get an award? I will wear a new suit,” he said. So far, Seong-min Moon (Hyundai Capital) is the only domestic player to have made the V-League Best 7 with an apogee in the 2016-2017 season, both men and women.
Heo Soo-bong, who is taking a short vacation after the championship game, will start training for the national team to be convened early next month. I am determined to win a gold medal at the Asian Games in Hangzhou in September. Heo Soo-bong said, “For men’s volleyball to rise in popularity, we have to get good results in international competitions.”
