Kim Yeon-koung cheers at the end of the second set, when she scored a decisive goal.
In the second set alone, he swept seven points and performed horizontally.
In the last five sets, which was a breathtaking battle, the main character was Kim Yeon-koung.
Heungkuk Life, who took the lead with an open attack at 9-9, won the game by scoring three points.
It's an unstoppable performance of the 36-year-old "Volleyball Empress," who delayed her retirement only to win.
Kim Yeon-koung ranked first in three categories: attack success rate at the beginning of the season, open attack, and quick open.
They are all performances that outpace foreign players.
Thanks to Kim Yeon-koung, who played in and out of offense and defense, Heungkuk Life won its opening six games in a row, and Kim was named the 12th round MVP of her career.
Despite the age and physical burden of contemplating the last game, he played all 6 games and 23 sets in the first round.

After returning to Korea, Kim Yeon-koung played in the championship game every season, but failed to lift the trophy.
This is why I tightened my sneakers again while spending a busier summer than ever by actively meeting fans outside the volleyball court.

Attention is focusing on whether the 36-year-old "Volleyball Empress," who has expressed her thirst for victory by delaying retirement, will be able to solve the last puzzle of this season.
