Kim Jin-yu (29, 190 cm), the icon of fighting spirit, remains in Sono. It is thanks to his affection for Sono and his trust in coach Kim Seung-ki. Kim Jin-yu, who has regained his health and returned to training, is renewing his commitment again.
Kim Jin-yu, who saved the team's atmosphere by playing hustle, became a free agent (FA) at the end of last season and signed a contract with Sono for three years and a total of 200 million won in compensation for the first year. Kim Jin-yu said, "I was nervous and worried because it was my first FA, but I was grateful that the club recognized my value," adding, "I also had a great attachment to Sono. The coach also said, "Let's do it with me," so I trusted him."
Kim's strengths include hustle play and active participation in rebounding. Even though he is not tall, he exudes passionate rebounding to vitalize the team's mood. He boasts contribution that exceeds the record in numerical terms. "Just because he is tall, he is not good at rebounding. If (Kim) Jin-yu flies and makes offensive rebounding, it will have a positive impact on players," Kim said.
However, he slowed down due to injury last season. "I had a lot of injuries. I was so disappointed that I couldn't run again in the end," Kim Jin-yu said. "My facial expression hasn't completely returned due to the (fractured orbital) injury. It could take more than six months for me to regain my senses. I am getting better and better."
With Choi Seung-wook joining the FA, competition is also inevitable. "With (Choi) Seung-wook, the team's power has improved. Rather than competing, I try to prepare to create synergy if we play together," Kim Jin-yu said with a smile. "I know the role the team wants me to play. I'm ready to fly again."
