The professional volleyball team OK Savings Bank E-Tman (OK Savings Bank) has once again launched a support campaign for young volleyball talents.

OK Savings Bank Volleyball Team announced on the 14th that "Coach Shin Young-cheol and captain Jeon Kwang-in presented the 'Shin Young-cheol Setter Award' and 'Jeon Kwang-in Attack Award,' respectively, at the recently concluded '59th Presidential Cup National Middle and High School Volleyball Tournament.' One recipient was selected in each category: girls' middle school, girls' high school, boys' middle school, and boys' high school. In addition to the awards, scholarships were also presented to the winning players."

Shin Young-cheol (62), OK Savings Bank coach, has consistently supported the growth of promising setters by presenting the 'Shin Young-cheol Setter Award' at the Presidential Cup Middle and High School Volleyball Tournament since 2018. Starting this year, OK Savings Bank captain Jeon Kwang-in (35) joined this meaningful initiative to encourage younger players. From this year onward, OK Savings Bank Volleyball Team and Jeon Kwang-in established a new 'Jeon Kwang-in Attack Award' to help junior players pursue bigger dreams, with scholarships also being awarded.

OK Savings Bank Volleyball Team has continued various support activities for promising Korean volleyball talents over the past few years. Voluntary donations from team members have also been ongoing. Middle blocker Jin Seong-tae (33) donated volleyball equipment to his alma mater's Gwangju Munjeong Elementary School volleyball team last year. This year, with Jeon Kwang-in joining in presenting scholarships, a virtuous cycle of senior players supporting junior growth is spreading both within and outside the team.

Coach Shin Young-cheol stated, "As a senior in the volleyball community, I wanted to offer even a small amount of support to young players who believe in their potential and continue pursuing their dreams, which is why I began presenting scholarships this year. I hope the players who received scholarships today will be motivated and grow into excellent athletes who lead Korean volleyball."

Jeon Kwang-in also shared, "I received help from many seniors, coaches, and volleyball officials on my journey to becoming a professional player. I felt it was now time to give back to younger players." He added, "I hope the newly established 'Jeon Kwang-in Attack Award' this year will serve as a small encouragement for hardworking juniors."
