[Asia Economy, reporter Kim Jungho] Former volleyball player and coach Shin Jin-sik appeared on 'Mungcheoya Chanda'.

On the JTBC show 'Mungcheoya Chanda', which aired on the evening of June 28, Shin Jin-sik joined as a guest member of the team.

In the late 1990s, Shin Jin-sik was a superstar representing Korean volleyball.

On this day, when other members pointed out his lower body, Shin Jin-sik wittily responded, "These legs are what give me speed."

Kim Sungjoo, who was next to him, mentioned a past media interview, saying, "When asked to choose between Shin Jin-sik and Kim Sejin, Shin Jin-sik said, 'Aren't I better than Kim Sejin?'"

Shin Jin-sik confidently replied, "That's true. Kim Sejin only spiked the ball, but I was a multi-player."

Kim Yohan, a junior volleyball player, shared his connection with Shin Jin-sik, saying, "He was my room captain during the Doha Asian Games."

Kim Sungjoo then asked Kim Yohan, "Didn't you play under coach Kim Sejin? How would you evaluate Shin Jin-sik?"

Kim Yohan, caught off guard, replied, "I can't dare to evaluate him, but Jin-sik was truly versatile. After he graduated from university, teams fought over him and even went to court. That's how good he was," surprising those around him.

Kim Byunghyun, another junior from Sungkyunkwan University, also added to the amazement by saying, "I saw his jumps during our university days. It was a jumping ability beyond what a human can do."

Additionally, when asked if there was anyone he thought he could outperform, Shin Jin-sik pointed to Mo Taebeom.

Mo Taebeom, the ace of the team, responded in disbelief, saying, "I think I heard that wrong."

Upon hearing this, Kim Sungjoo said, "If you can beat Mo Taebeom in speed, you can beat anyone," to which Shin Jin-sik added, "That's on ice, but on grass, I'm faster."
