The second retirement tour event of "Volleyball Empress" Kim Yeon-kyung (Hungguk Life Insurance), who will end her career after this season, was held.
Kim Yeon-koung's retirement event was held after the Heungkuk Life Insurance-Hyundai Construction match at Suwon Gymnasium in Gyeonggi Province on the 21st.
About 3,800 packed spectators gathered to say goodbye to Kim Yeon-koung, who plays her final regular league game at Suwon Gymnasium.
As it was the first and second-place showdown in the women's division, tension lingered in the game.
Heungkuk Life Insurance, the first-place team, won 3-0 and recorded 25 wins and 5 losses (73 points), widening the gap with second-place Hyundai Engineering & Construction (18 wins, 12 losses, 57 points) to 16 points.
Heungkuk Life Insurance Co., Ltd., which has reduced the magic number needed to confirm its regular league No. 1 ranking to 2, will advance directly to the championship match if it adds just 20 points in the remaining games. Even if Hyundai E&C scores three points in all six remaining games, its ranking will not change.
Regardless of victory or defeat, a warm atmosphere unfolded after the game. Hyundai E&C players also regretted Kim Yeon-koung's retirement.
In particular, Yang Hyo-jin, a "best friend" who has been playing for the women's national team for a long time, delivered a frame with Hyundai E&C's uniform with the number 10 engraved on it to Kim. The frame was autographed by Hyundai E&C players. 온라인바카라
Hyundai Engineering & Construction coach Kang Sung-hyung then delivered a bouquet to Kim Yeon-kyung, and Hyundai Engineering & Construction players took a commemorative photo with "legendary" Kim Yeon-kyung leaving the court.
Kim Yeon-koung said, "I would like to thank the club officials, the team, and the fans for preparing this event," adding, "We still have a lot of seasons left, so please cheer for us and support Heungkuk Life."
Meanwhile, Kim Yeon-koung's retirement tour will be followed by the Jeonggwanjangjeon (Daejeon Chungmu Gymnasium) on March 1, the Pepper Savings Bank match (Gwangju Pepper Stadium) on March 11, and the GS Caltex match (Seoul Jangchung Gymnasium) on March 20.
