Vallarsaihan and Eddie were picked as the second and fifth overall picks at the "2025 V-League Asia Quarter Draft" held on Sunday. They will return to the V-League in two seasons after the 2023-2024 season. During the 2023-2024 season, Vallarsaihan played as a middle blocker (center) at OK Savings Bank, while Eddie played as an Apogit Spiker (right) at Samsung Fire and Marine Insurance.
Bayarsaihan and Eddy were happy to return to the V-League. Their strenuous time in Mongolia over the past year was worthwhile. Bayarsaihan said, "I have always dreamed of returning to Korea. I will definitely win at Hyundai Capital." Eddy said, "I focused on supplementing receiving in Mongolia. I will display better performance than before."
Bayarsaihan and Eddie have a deep relationship with Korea. In January 2017, they entered Suncheon Jeil High School to play in Korea, which has a higher level of volleyball than Mongolia. Bayarsaihan went to Inha University and Eddie went to Sungkyunkwan University, showing growth. Korean is fluent and has an impressive height (197cm in Bayarsai, 198cm in Eddy), drawing attention.
It was hard to predict his advance to the V-League due to difficulties in naturalization during his school years. However, as the Asian quarter system started from 2023-2024 season, he was able to enjoy playing in the V-League. During the 2023-2024 season, Bayarsaihan marked 0.580 blockings (sixth) per set in 131 sets of 36 games, and Eddie had 164 points and an attack success rate of 52.02 percent in 97 sets of 34 games.
However, the "Korean Dream" is at a critical juncture. The Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) expanded the Asian quarter of the V-League from 2024-2025 season. Bayarsaihan and Eddy were not selected in the draft as Iranian and Chinese big-time players challenged the V-League. As naturalization did not accelerate, they had to leave Korea and play in Mongolia for the past year.
Bayarsaihan and Eddy never gave up. They enhanced their competitiveness by serving as both an apogee spiker and an outside heater (left) in the Mongolian league, respectively. Hyundai Capital and KEPCO are keeping an eye on those who displayed impressive skills in their new positions. They said, "I will display good performance in my new position by utilizing my strength, which is my strength. I will try to repay the designation of my team," he said.
