Players from KEPCO are once again united.

PVC, which brings together former professional volleyball players from Korea Electric Power Corp., won the top prize at the "2025 17th Yongin Special City and Gyeonggi Ilbo National Men's and Women's Sports Volleyball Competition".

The competition, which opened on the 30th of last month and lasted for three days until the 1st, was hotly contested with 1,300 players from 106 teams, including amateur hobbyists and senior elites.




The tournament was held in a tournament manner for each category, including the general department, men's (long-term, katuri) and women's (pink royal azalea, fir) club 3 and men's and women's university departments.

PVC, represented by Kim Kwang-guk, a former KEPCO setter, beat the Sunkwang Family 2-0 to win the overall championship. PVC was joined by Kim Kwang-guk and other players who played for KEPCO, including Bang Shin-bong, Kim Jin-man, and Lee Tae-ho, who were called the "original Gummy Son" during their active days.

Kim Kwang-guk, who retired from active duty after the 2023-2024 season, has since run volleyball academies at 11 branches nationwide, focusing on expanding the base of volleyball and fostering dream trees.




In addition to Bang Shin-bong, Han Song-yi, who was the main player in the women's volleyball semifinals at the 2012 London Olympics, is also a coach at PVC.

Kim Kwang-guk, who led PVC to the championship and won the Most Valuable Player Award, said, `I came forward because I thought that PVC coaches could motivate members if they participated in the competition.'"He wanted to expand the base of volleyball and instill faith in it by showing how to use the volleyball skills that coaches have been teaching so far in practice." I'm even happier to win the championship."
