Linus Weber (registered name 'Linus'), the new foreign player for Uijeongbu KB Insurance's 2026-2027 season, arrived at Incheon International Airport on the morning of the 4th.

The German national team veteran Linus is an outside hitter standing at an impressive 204 cm, with his powerful spikes from high contact points and a formidable serve cited as his greatest strengths. He has honed his skills across Europe's top leagues in Germany, Italy, Poland, and elsewhere, and joined the KB Volleyball Club through the KOVO draft held last May.

Upon arriving in Korea, Linus stated, "I heard many stories about the V-League from my former teammate Kyle Russell. The V-League is a very interesting new challenge and opportunity for me." He added, "To create a successful season in the V-League, I will not join the German national team this year but will focus on preparing step-by-step with my teammates to secure our club's first-ever championship."

A KB Volleyball Club official said, "Player Linus possesses explosive offensive power along with strong competitive spirit and mental fortitude. We expect him to be a positive factor in boosting the team's strength based on his experience accumulated in Europe's major leagues. The club will spare no effort to support Linus as he quickly adapts to life in Korea and our team culture," expressing high expectations.

Meanwhile, Linus is scheduled to undergo medical tests on the 5th before joining the squad and beginning full team training for the 2026-2027 season.
