Kim Yeon-kyung (37, Heungkuk Life Insurance) eventually returned to home Incheon.
Heungkuk Life Insurance will play the final fifth game of the championship match (three wins out of five) with Chung Kwan-jang of the Dodram 2024-25 V-League at Samsan World Gymnasium in Incheon on the 7th. With the two teams locked in a tight race of two wins and two losses, the winning team of the fifth game will become the women's champion of the 2024-25 V-League.
Heungkuk Life Insurance, ranked first in the regular league, won the first and second games at home, but lost after a close game of a full set in Daejeon, where the third and fourth games were held.
"I only think about the third match," Kim said in an interview with Su-hoon after the first match ended on April 31. After the second match, Kim said, "I choked up thinking it was my last home game. My fans probably don't want us to come back to Incheon. I will wrap up in an away match in Daejeon."
However, Kim Yeon-kyung's "Last Dance," who will retire after this season, will continue until the last five games.
It's not the scenario Kim Yeon-kyung wanted, but she will be able to lift the trophy in front of home fans for the first time in 16 years.
The last time Kim Yeon-koung kissed the trophy at home was the 2008-09 Championship. At the end of the season, Heungkuk Life defeated GS Caltex by a score of 3-1 in the fourth round of the championship in Cheonan. Heungkuk Life moved from Cheonan to Incheon after the season ended, and Kim Yeon-koung advanced into overseas competitions.
After returning to the V-League, Kim played in the championship three times through the 2023-24 season, but repeatedly missed out on the championship 온라인바카라. She won two regular league titles at away stadiums and on rest days (losing the runner-up team).
Jeong, who is struggling due to injury, is displaying strong performance as he won games three to four times. Megawatti Puttiwi (registered Mega) and Vanya Bukirich (registered Bukirich) have strong attack capabilities.
Heungkuk Life Insurance has high expectations for home fans' roaring support. Incheon Samsan World Gymnasium swept all the top 11 spots for men and women in this season's V-League. As a result, Heungkuk Life Insurance has a home winning percentage of 0.850 in both the regular and post-season (PS), far higher than the away (0.600).
Kim Yeon-koung is still in good form with 99 points and an attack success rate of 47.54 percent in four matches against the Champs.
