I watched Kim Yeon-kyung from the closest place. Kim Yeon-kyung should be appointed and led as a new coach on the team she left.

On the 18th, an official opening game was held at Samsan World Gymnasium in Incheon to announce the start of the Jin Air 2025-2026 season V-League. 'Defending Champion' It's a showdown between Heungkuk Life Pink Spiders and runner-up Jung Kwan-jang Red Sparks.

There is only one defending champion, but there is no more Kim Yeon-koung in Heungkuk Life. Kim Yeon-koung is scheduled to hold an official retirement ceremony after the match.

Tutku, who led the unified championship last year, left, and Rebecca, who played for IBK Industrial Bank in the past, joined instead. The pitch for the Asian quarter remains the same. Jung Yoon-joo, who showed great growth last year, took the lead, and Lee Da-hyun joined as an FA.

After saying goodbye to mega and bouquirich 'Ssangpo', Jeonggwanjang also experienced considerable power changes. A new foreigner, Zanetti, has joined. For the Asian quarter, he chose Wi Pawi, who played for Hyundai E&C, but he is still in rehabilitation, so he cannot play.

Above all, attention is drawn to manager Tomoko Yoshihara, who took the helm of Heungkuk Life Insurance. He is a four-time champion in the Japanese volleyball league.

Kim Yeon-koung's first move since retirement was volleyball entertainment. He launched 'New Coach Kim Yeon-koung' and made his debut as a coach of the 'Wonder Dogs' by gathering retired and unemployed team players. Heungkuk Life appeared on the program in September as Kim Yeon-kyung's former team and last season's champion and faced the Wonder Dogs.

Asked about Kim Yeon-koung, Yoshihara said, `I want to see him continue to play as a player. Everyone would think so," he said with a grin.

"(Even though he had such talent), he tried harder than anyone else to train. There is an extraordinary sense of improvement and leadership that leads everyone. He also has the mental ability to overcome the crisis. So he added, "I must have become a player loved by everyone so far."

Then how about as a director.

"Wouldn't Kim Yeon-kyung be able to direct if she wanted to? As it is Kim Yeon-koung's life, the choice is Kim Yeon-koung's. I'll see what choice you make."

Heungkuk Life Insurance is currently not in a normal position, such as the main setter Lee Go-eun and the injury of the Asian quarter pitch. As for the Jeonggwanjangjeon, "Since it is a team with good stature, our players should be good at blocking covers and connections.", he explained.

As for the new foreigner Rebecca, "height is the greatest advantage. He is a player who will show better performance if he gains power. "I hope we grow every game" and "Setter Jin is the point where our team needs to grow the most. I trained him strictly and affectionately," he said with a smile.
