The partnership between women's professional volleyball team GS Caltex and Han Soo-jin (27) will continue for three more years.
On the 21st, GS Caltex announced, "We have signed a free agent (FA) contract with Han Soo-jin, who played a key role in the defensive line and achieved a miraculous upset championship in the 2025-2026 season." The contract term is three years, with a total annual compensation of 250 million won (base salary of 150 million won and an option of 100 million won).
Han Soo-jin, who joined GS Caltex as the first overall pick in the first round of the 2017-2018 draft, chose to remain with GS Caltex in this second FA following her first FA after the 2022-2023 season. Although she received love calls from GS Caltex and several other teams after obtaining FA status, Han Soo-jin's final decision was to continue her journey with GS Caltex.
Han Soo-jin is praised for maximizing team cohesion through her leadership in directing the defensive line during the 2025-2026 season. As the starting libero, she showcased net defense during the postseason, contributing to the team's championship victory with crucial receives and digs.
Through the club, Han Soo-jin stated, "Thanks to the fans who supported GS Caltex until the end, we were able to conclude a tumultuous journey with a championship. While results are important, I learned that if we grow together with our teammates and share a clear goal and a unified heart, we can overcome even the most extreme situations."
She added, "Although we ended the season with a glorious championship, I will not rest on our laurels. Instead, I will set aside my ego to help my teammates play better and become a chatterbox on the court even more than before for the sake of the team."
