OK Financial Group Men’s Volleyball Rookie Draft 1st choice overall Shin Shin-jin

Shinho Jin of Inha University has twice won the MVP award in this year’s college competition
5 of 7 first round draft picks … 2 players should graduate from high school


Shin Shin-jin (21, Inha University), who is considered the best forward in the college league, wore the uniform of the OK Financial Group.

Shin Shin was selected as the first choice among 34 candidates in the Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) Men’s 2022-2023 Draft Rookie held at the Rivera Hotel in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul on 4.

Shinho-jin, a senior at Inha University, is a left-handed striker who is an asset that can be digested as both an apothecary hitter (right) and an external heater (left).

I tried applying for the early draft last year (applying for the draft before my fourth year of college), but chose to stay in college for another year.

This year, Shin Shin won the Korean Air Cup National Collegiate Volleyball Player Best Player Award and Korea University Sports Association (KUSF) U-League Volleyball Best Player Award.

He stands 187cm tall, and while not a tall striker, he is rated for his excellent jumping skills and good catching ability.

Shin’s alma mater, Inha University, produced the first player overall for the second consecutive year after Hong Dong-sun (Hyundai Capital) in the 2021-2022 draft.

Setter Lee Hyun-seung (Hanyang University), 190cm tall, was called by Hyundai Capital in second place, and central Jun-Woo Kim (Hongik University) wore the Samsung Fire & Marine Fire uniform in third place.

Setter Han Tae-joon (Suseong High School) was the first to be called to the Woori Card with 4th place among high school graduates, and setter Kim Joo-young (Suncheon Jeil High School) was also named to Korea Electric Power Corporation with 5th place.

In 6th place KB Insurance chose Park Hyun-bin (Sungkyunkwan University), and Korean Air, which was last in the order, chose Song Min-geun (Jungbu University) as Libero.

Among them, Park Hyun-bin is the younger brother of Hyun-joo Park, an outdoor heater for Heungkuk Life women’s volleyball.

Of the seven players selected in the first round, five were candidates for early draft and two were expected to graduate from high school.

The lottery odds were in reverse order from last season’s ranking: Hyundai Capital 35%, Samsung Fire 30%, OK Financial Group 20%, Woori Card 8%, Korea Electric Power 4%, KB Insurance 2% and Korean Air 1 %.

As a result of the lottery, OK Financial Group won the first nomination, followed by Hyundai Capital, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, Woori Card, Korea Electric Power Corporation, KB Insurance and Korean Air.

The Woori Card 2nd round selection right was exercised by Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance as a commercial reward.

Sungkyunkwan University central blocker Ha-jun Bae, mentioned as a candidate for the first round, canceled the draft application on draft day due to personal circumstances.

This draft is 5 years after the 2016-2017 draft, in which 22 people out of 34 candidates were selected (7 round 1, 6 round 2, 2 round 3, 2 round 4, 5 trainees) and 21 people were selected. minimum inside
