"I thought it was the most stable way to go."
Kim Ho-chul, head coach of IBK Industrial Bank of Korea, selected 178cm setter Chen Shintong from China in the 2024 Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) Asian Quarter Draft held at Sun Hotel on Jeju Island on the 1st. Initially, IBK Industrial Bank considered renewing the contract with setter Ponpoon (Thailand), who was with him last season, but the situation changed when he withdrew his pre-draft application.
Manager Kim was in trouble after failing to renew his contract with Ponpoon. IBK Industrial Bank of Korea ranked fifth last season after Pepper Savings Bank (30, 40 percent) and Korea Expressway Corporation (25, 33.3 percent), ranking fifth with a probability of 26.87 percent (20). When it came to No. 1, it thought of Jang Yu (China), who was considered a "big fish," and a single hitter, but the choice was "The Setter."
"I really thought a lot about it. I was thinking about whether to supplement the striker or become a setter. Opinions were divided. As a result, I chose the most stable path. I am satisfied."
This means that the setter has been selected for the Asian quarter for two consecutive seasons. "Shintong is not as flashy as Ponpoon, but the toss is accurate. As a great player, he also shows relaxed temperament. Even if you make a mistake, you can't get a ticket. Although Ponpoon is a good player, our players couldn't keep up with the speed of Ponpoon's toss. Our players have expectations that they will be comfortable with magical throws and attacks," Kim explained.
He added, "The middle circuit breaker was good as well. I also liked the waiting and throwing part instead of doing it in advance. That part caught my eye."
Shintong said, "IBK Industrial Bank is a high-quality club. I also wanted to go further because my agent told me that I needed a setter. The first thing I felt after I knew the result was gratitude."
He also expressed that he is lucky to meet a coach from the same position. Shintong expressed his expectation, saying, "I am lucky to play in Korea, and you are in the same position. I think I will get a lot of guidance when I toss."
