Korean Air's star player Han (40) has been named MVP of the first cup competition in his life.

Korean Air defeated OK Savings Bank with a set score of 3-0 (25-21, 25-23, 25-16) in the men's final of the 2025 Yeosu-NH Nonghyup Cup professional volleyball tournament at Jinnam Gymnasium in Yeosu on the 20th.

Setter Han was chosen as the most valuable player of the competition. Korean Air's Apogit Spiker Kim Jun-ho (23) was selected as the rising star.




Han dominated the MVP of the 2017-2018 season championship game, the MVP of the regular league in the 2022-2023 season, and the MVP of the championship game. This is the first time that the MVP of a cup competition has been made. Korean Air has won six cups in total.

Han said, "It is the result of intensive training. Rumor has it that new coach Henan Dal Zotto has a huge amount of training.

One player said, "I really turned him around like crazy," he said with a tongue-in-cheek.




Player Han did it by checking the amount of activity in detail. The coach said he couldn't survive the season if he couldn't overcome this difficulty. I thought I'd stop, but I thought I'd add more and rest, but I didn't rest and kept turning for almost two months."

Han said, "Of course, the team's victory is more meaningful than the individual award."

One player said, `I didn't think of an MVP. I thought about winning the championship. He made it difficult to practice mainly for young players. I kept doing it even though it didn't go well. It must have been hard for young people. "The most meaningful thing is that I overcame everything and won the championship."

Kim Joon-ho also had a lot of income. Kim Jun-ho said, `I knew my strengths and weaknesses well through the cup competition. I will prepare for the regular season by maximizing my strengths and making up for my weaknesses. I need more practice on my serve."

Henan gave the players a very high score on their mentality.

Coach Henan said, `A really strong team is physically strong, but they maintain their fighting spirit until the end. That's what he did. In particular, young players showed that. It was really good."
