After retiring from playing, she became Korea\u2019s first female international referee. FIVB.com recently sat down with Kang to discuss her journey to officiating some of the biggest events in world volleyball.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">What inspired you to become a referee?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I started playing volleyball when I was 10 years old. I was a member of Korea\u2019s national volleyball team alongside my club team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Since that time, I remember referees as important officials for the players during the game. This is because the results of the players\u2019 passion and hard work is judged by the referees. So as a player, I was always hoping for a fair judgement on the field of play. I don\u2019t recall seeing any female referees domestically or internationally during my time as a player. It was only when I retired that I saw a few international female referees at FIVB events.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">After my retirement, I went to university to study physical education and sports psychology. I was also learning English and Japanese. So, when the Korea Volleyball Association was looking to prepare an international female referee, I was ready. Being a former player, my application for the international referee candidate course was successful. This is how my journey as a referee began. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-104221\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1-2-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1-2-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1-2-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1-2-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1-2-580x387.jpeg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1-2-860x574.jpeg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1-2-1160x774.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1-2-500x334.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1-2-800x534.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1-2-1280x854.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1-2-1320x881.jpeg 1320w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1-2-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1-2.jpeg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">Kang Joo-Hee with her colleagues at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">What is your memory from the first event you worked at? What were your feelings?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">My first tournament as a referee was an Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) continental event, the Asian Junior Women\u2019s Championship in 2004. I wasn\u2019t afraid, in fact it felt like a homecoming. I enjoyed the experience of working with referees from all over the world and learning from their experience and knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The first FIVB competition I officiated was the Volleyball Grand Prix 2006 in Okayama, Japan. I was a little nervous, but eager to do my best at a top international event with some of the best women\u2019s teams participating. Everything was so overwhelming, but I remained calm. Fortunately, I remember returning home with a light heart and very excited as the event went well. I was very grateful to the senior referees and referee delegation for their help and advice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">What do you enjoy the most about being a referee?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The best part is being part of world class competitions. Each event is different, and it is exciting to see different venues, teams, players, fans and atmospheres. Of course, it is amazing to have opportunities to communicate with other referees and referee supervisors from all over the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We are like a big international family. We discuss rule changes, help each other master our skills, share our news, exchange small presents, spend time together outside of matches. Being part of this world community is a great honour and I am happy to learn from my colleagues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-104222\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-3-300x179.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-3-300x179.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-3-1024x609.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-3-768x457.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-3-580x345.jpeg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-3-860x512.jpeg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-3-1160x690.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-3-500x298.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-3-800x476.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-3-1280x762.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-3-1320x785.jpeg 1320w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-3-600x357.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-3.jpeg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">Kang Joo-Hee officiating at the match<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">What do you think can be done to encourage more women to become referees?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Female referees started appearing on the volleyball scene in the 1990s, but I believe the position is not yet fully established as being double gender. I believe if a person works with courage and in a healthy manner in accordance with the sporting spirit, he or she can be a referee. Gender doesn\u2019t matter.
