This is the moment when Cheonan High School's tall setter Kim Kwan-woo receives the honor of being the first high school student to be selected as the number one pick in men's volleyball.

With the addition of Kim Kwan-woo, following Yoo Kwang-woo and Han Sun-soo, Korean Air has solidified its position as a team with renowned setters.

Although the probability of Korean Air, the reigning champions from last season, selecting him as the first pick was the lowest, Kim Kwan-woo was 100% confident about joining Korean Air even before the draft.
