Kim Yeon-kyung’s true feelings about postponing her retirement
He was at the crossroads of retirement as an active player, but ultimately made a choice for his fans. Kim Yeon-kyung (Heungkuk Life Insurance), the leading star of domestic volleyball and selected as the best star of this season, will challenge again for the top spot in the V-League.
Kim Yeon-kyung said at the 2023-24 Dodram V-League awards ceremony held at the K Hotel in Yangjae-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 8th, "I will challenge to win one more season next season," and "I will play one more season for the fans." Money S selected Kim Yeon-kyung as the person of interest on the 10th, who postponed her retirement and revealed her desire to win the championship trophy for her fans.
Heungkuk Life Insurance achieved first place in the regular league with 27 wins and 9 losses (82 points) in the 2022-23 season. However, in the championship match, they lost to the Korea Expressway Corporation and failed to win the combined championship. Even though he extended his contract by one year to achieve his dream of winning the combined championship of Heungkuk Life Insurance, he lost 0-3 in the championship game to Hyundai Engineering & Construction this season and missed out on the title of strongest player in 'Spring Volleyball'.
Domestic fans unanimously agreed that Kim Yeon-kyung, who finished in second place for two consecutive seasons, would consider retiring as a player. However, Kim Yeon-kyung announced the extension of her active player career while delivering her thoughts on winning this season's regular league Most Valuable Player (MVP) award.
It is a mindset worthy of the title of volleyball queen. Kim Yeon-kyung said, "I hope there will be more competitors next season. I will try not to fall behind," and added, "If next season will be the last, I will announce it in advance." She continued by saying, "Many people are supporting us, so shouldn't we all prepare our hearts together?"
He participated in all sets of all games this season and ranked 6th in scoring (775 points) and 2nd in attack success rate (44.98%). He won the Spring Volleyball Individual Best Award, receiving 20 of 31 votes in the MVP award selection, beating out second-place Hyojin Yang (5 votes).
After winning her first V-League title in the 2005-06 season, Kim Yeon-kyung swept overseas trophies, including in Japan, Turkmenistan, and China. Afterwards, he returned to Korea in 2020 and boasted of his health by receiving individual awards every season. However, he has no ties to trophies, so it appears that he will do his best in the upcoming 2024-25 season.
