"Volleyball legend" Moon Sung-min (39, Hyundai Capital) and Kim Yeon-kyung (37, Heungkuk Life), who will leave the court after this season, will say goodbye in the final regular league match on the 20th.
Moon Sung-min and Kim Yeon-kyung played as the best stars in men's and women's professional volleyball, which was anchored in 2005, and both announced their retirements, making the final V-League match the last game to play in the regular league on the 20th.
Hyundai Capital will host Moon Sung-min's retirement ceremony after the home game against OK Savings Bank at Cheonan Yu Gwan-soon Gymnasium on the 20th.
Moon Sung-min, who announced his intention to retire through the club on the 13th, played 15 seasons in the V League and played as a leading male star.
Moon began his professional career in Germany in 2008 and has never moved to another team since wearing Hyundai Capital's uniform in the 2010-2011 season.
He was named the MVP of the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 season, and won the MVP of the championship game in the 2016-2017 season.
As of the 18th, the V-League's overall performance is 380 games and 4,811 points, ranking third overall in scores and fourth in serve aces (351).
As a member of the national team, he won a gold medal at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha, a bronze medal at the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, and a silver medal at the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang.
"Moon Sung-min has established himself as a representative player in the V League by leading the team with strong offense and leadership," Hyundai Capital said. "Moon Sung-min, who has devoted himself to the team for a long time, has become an example for his juniors with his passion for volleyball and professionalism."
"Thanks to the love and support of volleyball fans, I was able to stand on the court for a long time," Moon said. "We are discussing with the club how to proceed with the second act after my career," adding, "I want to contribute to the expansion of the base of volleyball and the development of professional volleyball in Korea in various ways."
Hyundai Capital did not disclose any specific retirement event.
On the same day, 'Volleyball Empress' Kim Yeon-kyung will also play in an away game against GS Caltex, the final regular league match.
Heungkuk Life gave Kim Yeon-koung a break for three consecutive games after confirming the top spot in the regular league, but Kim Yeon-koung was played in preparation for the championship match from the home game with the Korea Expressway Corporation on the 15th.
GS Caltex and the game are the final stages of the "Retirement Tour," an away game that began against IBK Industrial Bank of Korea on the 16th of last month.
Earlier, Kim Yeon-koung's retirement tour attracted a "full crowd" for four consecutive games, but the sell-out march was suspended in two games where Kim Yeon-koung's playing time was reduced.
However, at the home game on the 15th, 6,015 seats at Samsan World Gymnasium in Incheon were full.
With Kim Yeon-koung saying about her career path after retirement, "I am leaving all possibilities open, including the leader," the match against GS Caltex on the 20th is special for Kim Yeon-koung because it will be held at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul, where she has memories such as the All-Star Game. 바카라
