Ranked 4th in league defense, surpassing the main libero The most digs in KB Insurance

Lim Seong-jin attempting to receive

KEPCO, a professional volleyball men’s team, was concerned about defensive issues ahead of the 2023-2024 season.

Last season, foreign player Thais Dulhorst (registered name Thais) boasted formidable offensive power, but had problems with receiving.

KEPCO designated Japanese libero Ryohei Iga as the Asian quota player, but there was still a question mark over the defense issue.

In addition to Ryohei, KEPCO needed a native outside hitter who could counter the opposing team’s strong serve.

KEPCO’s concerns are being solved by next-generation ace Lim Seong-jin (24).

Lim Seong-jin is in charge of receiving along with Ryohei this season and is in charge of KEPCO’s defensive line.

Lim Seong-jin’s defensive ability is no less than Libero’s.

He successfully made 4.96 defenses per set in 13 games this season until the home game against KB Insurance held at Suwon Gymnasium on the 2nd.It ranks 4th in the league in this category.

Among the top five players, Lim Seong-jin is the only player who is not a libero.

In KB Insurance, Lim Seong-jin also showed off his outstanding defensive skills.

He attempted 14 digs that day and succeeded in 13.He recorded the most digs on the team.

Thanks to Lim Seong-jin’s active defense, striker Thais focused on attack, and the team defeated KB Insurance 3-0 and won 6 games in a row.
