The volleyball empress rejuvenated when she met a great setter. Kim Yeon-kyung, 37, is bombing her opponent's court with as much destructive power as her heyday.
The match between Heungkuk Life Insurance Co. and Pepper Savings Bank took place at Samsan Gymnasium in Incheon on the 9th. Heungkuk Life Insurance, leading 2-0 in the set score, was trailing 19-20 at the end of the third set.
Kim Yeon-kyung's powerful spike following Lee Go-eun's accurate and fast diagonal toss hit Pepper Savings Bank Taylor's left cheek. The ball hit Taylor in the face with such an authenticity that it didn't bounce and fell 'tuk'.
The shock was so great that Taylor was momentarily distracted. Kim Yeon-koung was also surprised. Taylor, who was caressing her cheeks, smiled with an expression of OK as she held Kim Yeon-koung's hand under the net. Kim Yeon-koung apologized to Taylor again after the game.

This is Kim Yeon-kyung's straightforward performance this season, in which she lightly hits a positive hit. It's hard. It's hard…Kim Yeon-kyung's body, which was holding her collar alone, became light. It is thanks to Lee Go-eun setter, who joined ahead of this season through trade.
Thanks to Lee Go-eun's accurate and clever ball allocation, Heungkuk Life's offense has become colorful. It is no longer a team that Kim Yeon-kyung has to lead alone. Two foreign players, Tutku and Fitch, and Korean players, including Jung Yoon-joo and Kim Soo-ji, are spinning like cogs and bombing the state court.

In the game on the 9th, when Tutku, who had left due to injury, returned, Heungkuk Life defeated Pepper Savings Bank 3-0 with an overwhelming performance. This is the result of all players' even performances, including 16 points for Tutku, 14 points for pitch, 13 points for Kim Yeon-kyung, and 10 points for Jung Yoon-joo.
Kim Yeon-kyung is also flying as she carries the burden on her shoulders. This season's attack success rate is 45.29 percent, ranking third after Mega (47.75%) and Silva (46.01%). The true value of setter Lee Go-eun is revealed in the success rate of the quick open. Kim Yeon-koung is in first place with a 54.34 percent success rate. It is a reversal of Kim Yeon-koung's age, which was ranked fourth with 47.39% last season.
After the match, legend Libero Kim Hae-ran's retirement ceremony was held. Kim surprised her fans by saying, `I'll be with you soon, sister.' This means that his retirement is not far away.
Kim Yeon-kyung, who returned to the V-League in the 2020-2021 season, has yet to lift the championship trophy. Kim Yeon-koung, 37, may still be the driving force behind the flame.
For happy fans just watching her run, 'retirement' might be something you don't want to think about. Kim Yeon-kyung, who is flying like a heyday, 'Retirement' seems to be a good idea for the time being.
