Zamyanpurep Enkhserel (21, registered name Inkusi) from Mongolia has left Daejeon, and an outside hitter from the Chinese national team has arrived.

Jeong Kwanjang Red Sparks Volleyball Team officially announced on the 24th that it has signed Zhong Hui (29, Zhong Hui) as an Asia quota foreign player. The annual salary is $150,000.

Jeong Kwanjang had difficulty filling the Asia quota vacancy left by Megawatti Pattiwi (27, registered name Mega). Initially, they selected Wipawee Sitthong (27, registered name Wipawee), who had played for Hyundai E&C. However, Wipawee had been dealing with a torn anterior cruciate ligament since the tryout and was ultimately replaced after the second round without playing a single match.

Due to the urgency, there were few options. Inkusi, who was chosen under such circumstances, showed growth despite limited skills but lacked the ability to compete in the spring season. Accordingly, Coach Ko Hee-jin traveled directly to Shanghai, China, during the All-Star break in January to scout for Asia quota resources. The result was Zhong Hui.

Zhong Hui was an outside hitter for the Chinese national team from 2022 to 2025. She also played a key role in winning the gold medal at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games (AG). She is a former teammate of Bae Gu (황제) Kim Yeon-koung (38, retired). Zhong Hui has played for the Shanghai Yuvest Professional Team in China from 2018 to the present. Her tenure overlaps with Kim Yeon-koung's during the 2021–2022 season.

During that period, Zhong Hui won the Chinese Professional Volleyball League twice (2021, 2026). She stood out both in team achievements and individual performance, earning the title of Best Outside Hitter in the Chinese League (2022, 2023) and Best Receiver (2024).

Coach Ko Hee-jin said, "I watched Zhong Hui's game in person in Shanghai, China, last January. I confirmed that she is exactly the player our team needs, as she excels in both offense and defense. I am very pleased to have signed her." He added, "Once Zhong Hui joins, we will prepare systematically with all players to further strengthen our team."
