In June, Kim Yeon-kyung will hold the "KYK Invitational 2024," a retirement ceremony for the national team and the world volleyball all-star game, in collaboration with the Korea Volleyball Association and his agency Ryan At.

An official of the event, who contacted MHN Sports on the 11th, said, "The lineup of KYK Invitational has been confirmed to some extent, and the cast has been organized around the main players from the 2012 London Olympics to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics."

Once the lineup is finalized, it will be announced between late April and May. Among the professional team coaches who have retired, coaches and coaching staff of the national team are also included in the lineup.

However, final coordination with the Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) and the Korea Volleyball Association is required for the participation of coaches and coaching staff.

Anna Lazareva, a former IBK Industrial Bank of Korea, and Helen Rousseau, a former member of Hyundai Engineering & Construction, are among the prospective overseas players. Wing Spiker, a former member of the Brazilian national team, and a retired member of the Thai national team are also on the list. There is a possibility that Argentina and Serbia will also play in Korea.

The organizers said they had planned to focus on the 2012 London Olympics but changed their plans afterwards to make a list of athletes from the 2016 Rio Olympics and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Members of the London Olympics are also on the list of promising players.

However, overseas players are expected to adjust their schedules by two to three weeks before the event, and the list will be confirmed later than the domestic lineup. As a result, chances are high that the overseas invitation list will change.

In addition, while Kim Yeon-koung is set to launch a youth sponsorship foundation under her name, she must obtain permission at least before June for official activities. The foundation is supported by some veteran male and female volleyball players.

Earlier, through the V-League awards ceremony held on the 8th, Kim Yeon-koung predicted that she would play in the active role once again in the 24-25 season. Kim Yeon-koung won two awards at the ceremony, winning the Best 7 Outside Heater category and the MVP.

Kim Yeon-koung, who played the last 22-23 season and was at the crossroads of retirement and active duty, signed a one-year, short-term extension with Heungkuk Life Insurance after earning her first FA status. And after failing to achieve satisfactory results in the 23-24 season, she once again chose to play as an active player and threw her third bid for the domestic championship after returning.   토토사이트

Meanwhile, the V-League, which ended the 23-24 season, will begin its men's and women's Asian quarter tryouts from the 29th to May 3rd after completing all the men's and women's FA negotiations by the 18th.
