After acquiring Pepper Savings Bank to enter the V-League women's division, the new team SOOP has completed the recruitment of foreign and Asia quota players and the coaching staff, officially beginning preparations for the new season.

SOOP announced on the 1st that it signed American-Peruvian dual-nationality opposite spiker Adriana Fitzmorris as a foreign player and Chinese middle blocker Izhi Xue as an Asia quota player. This follows the earlier appointment of Kim Se-jin as the inaugural head coach, quickly completing the foreign player puzzle.

Adriana is an ace from Stanford University in the United States who has proven her high-scoring offensive power through stints in European leagues. Head Coach Kim Se-jin expressed high expectations, stating, "She possesses height, offensive power, and the ability to play various positions, making her the perfect fit for the volleyball style our team pursues."

Asia quota player Izhi Xue is a 192cm tall middle blocker who boasts exceptional blocking and quick attack abilities, having been named the Best Middle Blocker of the Chinese League for the 2022-2023 season.

The coaching staff selection is also complete. Senior Coach Jin Sun-gi, along with coaches Kim Jae-hoon and Ham Hyung-jin, have joined to assist Head Coach Kim Se-jin. SOOP stated, "We have completed the setup of support staff, including power analysis, and have fully established our team operation system," previewing serious preparations for the club's inaugural season.
