Women's professional volleyball team Heungkook Life continues to strengthen its roster for the new season by signing Asian quota player Justyce Yauji (Japan) following the acquisition of free agent (FA) Jung Ho-young.

Heungkook Life announced on the 17th that it has accelerated its team restructuring for the new season by signing Justyce, which has bolstered its side-line strength and enhanced defensive stability.

Justyce is a proven outside hitter who made the V-League Best 7 in the 2025-2026 women's professional volleyball season. Last season, while playing for Hyundai Construction, she ranked first in serves, second in digs, second in receive, and eighth in points, demonstrating competitiveness in both offense and defense.

Justyce, who formed a master-disciple bond with Heungkook Life head coach Tomoko Yoshihara during her time in Japan, will reunite with Coach Yoshihara at Heungkook Life.

Through the club, Justyce expressed, "I am delighted to continue my connection with Coach Yoshihara, whom I played with for four seasons at Osaka Marvelous, at Heungkook Life," and added, "I will quickly adapt to the role the team expects and become a player who contributes to both offense and defense."

Coach Yoshihara expressed her expectation that "based on Justyce's offensive power and defensive focus shown last season, we will build an even stronger team. We will be able to operate various lineups and attack combinations."

A club official stated, "Justyce is a player who possesses both scoring ability and defensive stability," and added, "We will actively support her to deliver excellent performances for the fans."

The day before, Heungkook Life kicked off its new season roster strengthening by signing top FA target middle blocker Jung Ho-young under a three-year contract worth a total of 540 million won (annual salary of 420 million won and an option of 120 million won).

It was also reported that the club is pursuing additional roster strengthening following the signing of Justyce on this day.
