The new year of 2025 has come. The V-League All-Star Game in the 2024-25 season was unfortunately canceled.
The decision was made in consideration of the Jeju Air passenger plane disaster that occurred at Muan International Airport in Jeollanam-do on December 29.
The Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) held an emergency meeting and canceled this season's V-League Men's and Women's All-Star Game (Chuncheon on January 4).
Due to the Muan Airport plane disaster, it was designated as a national mourning period until January 4. In the end, the volleyball All-Star Game was canceled due to the judgment that it was not appropriate to hold the festive All-Star Game during the national mourning period. It also considered delaying the All-Star Game for two or three weeks, but concluded that it was difficult to implement due to the adjustment of the team's game schedule and the rental of the stadium.
