Kianna Dy posted a good luck message on Instagram for boyfriend Marck Espejo who is all set to join Oita Miyoshi Weisse Adler in the upcoming 2018-19 Japanese V1 League season.

The former UAAP women's volleyball Finals MVP said it was a dream come true for the five-time UAAP MVP, who earlier said he wanted to take his talents overseas after finishing his playing career for Ateneo de Manila University.

With 2018 becoming a year of runner-up finishes for men's volleyball's 'Phenom,' Dy knows well that her beau can compete with the proud Japanese, and hopes to see him real soon.

"Remember when i asked you what you wanted to do after college and u told me u wanted to play abroad?? It’s finally happening!! I have never been more proud of you & i know that you will do great in Japan coz well... you’re Marck Espejo," Dy wrote, unedited.

~ The real story behind this photo ~ He was asking me if the edit on his IG photo was okay and matched his feed! So his post saying i was asking for my stuff from him was fake 🤪 tho he carried my bag for me during our Korea trip coz he’s a gentleman and hindi siya napilitan... right Dudut? 🙂🤣 ——— Anyway, I dont want this to be a sad post so i just wanted to say that i am very very proud and happy for you! Remember when i asked you what you wanted to do after college and u told me u wanted to play abroad?? It’s finally happening!! I have never been more proud of you & i know that you will do great in Japan coz well... you’re Marck Espejo. I’ll see you real soon boyyyy!! Mabilis lang ang 10 months! Mabilis lang ang 10 months! Mabilis lang ang 10 months!!! Hehe labyu ❤️ ——— P.S. nauna pa toh sa birthday post mo ... 1 week na ako naghihintay ha!! (Joke hahahaha)

The opposite spiker previously mentioned that she is very much willing to wait 10 months until Espejo's return to the country, but then again, she can go to Japan herself to watch him work.
