Professional volleyball Jung Kwan-jang (former KGC Ginseng Corporation) and Yelena Mrazenovic (Bosnia), who played for Heungkuk Life, advanced to the Chinese league.
Italian media "Bally News" said on the 11th (local time), "There is no official announcement of Beijing yet, but Yelena Mrazenovic is expected to continue her career in China," adding, "Bosnian Yelena, who was born in 1997 and played in Korea for the past three seasons, will wear Beijing's uniform in the Chinese Super League. I will sign the contract on the 11th."
Beijing Motor Company's women's volleyball team (Beijing BAIC), a club affiliated with the Chinese Volleyball Super League, won the 18-19 season championship as a member of the top division. The Chinese Super League currently consists of a total of 14 clubs, including Tianjin Bohai Bank, Shenzhen Women's Volleyball, Shanghai Bright Yuvest, Jiangsu Zenith Steel, Fujian Xi Mengbao, Beijing BAIC, Shandong Le Jiao Steel, Liaoning Huajun, Sichuan University, Guangdong Evergrande, Henan Zhengzhou, Zhejiang Jasan Sitang, Yunnan and Hebei Women's Volleyball teams. Zhang Yu, who plays for Pepper Savings Bank, is from Beijing BAIC. Kim Yeon-koung also played for Shanghai Bright Yuvest during the 17-18 and 21-22 seasons.
Heungkuk Life's squad for the 23-24 season is in action
"Beijing, currently ranked fourth in the rankings, aims to accelerate its performance to overcome the early part of the season with ups and downs and close the gap with Shanghai and Tianjin," Balli News said. "Jelena, who has also been offered by the Indonesian league, will further strengthen the highly anticipated team of two other foreign players, Edina Vezik and Yelana Boulin."
Yelena debuted in the Korean league in the 21-22 season after being ranked the third in the tryout by Jeong Kwan-jang (former Korea Ginseng Corporation). He played for only one season in Jeong Kwan-jang, scoring a total of 672 points (4th overall), averaging 39.44% (5th) in attack and 45.71% (5th) in quick opening. 스포츠토토
Afterwards, he re-applied for the tryout and was optioned to Heungkuk Life Insurance, continuing his career in the V-League. He and Kim formed a pair of arms and had an easy time in their first season in Heungkuk. During the 22-23 season, his performances accumulated 821 points and an average attack success rate of 42.79 percent in a total of 36 matches in the regular season, slightly higher than in the days of Jeong Kwan-jang.
However, after renewing his contract for the 23-24 season, his performance has been highlighted. His contribution to the success rate and scoring started to decline gradually, and eventually he failed to show his expectations from mercenaries. As Kim failed to resolve her scoring position from her potential, when she headed to the back, she had issues such as losing consecutive points to the opponent team. "There are some areas where I can help my teammates even if they are not performing well, but I did not see that attitude," said Avondaga, the head coach of Heungkuk Life Insurance, pointing out Yelena's work ceremonies.
Later, Heungkuk Life released Yelena and replaced her with Willow Johnson, daughter of Major League Baseball legend Randy Johnson, as a new replacement outsider. Willow reapplied for the tryout after the 23-24 season but was not selected. He currently plays in the U.S. Professional PVF League.
