[서울신문] Kim Yeon-kyung, who was ashamed of Ginseng Corporation players, “Fans would have liked it”

“I was embarrassed. I asked the Ginseng Corporation players if they were okay.”

Kim Yeon-kyung gave a Christmas present to the team by scouring 34 points in a match against KGC Ginseng Corporation held at the Chungmu Gymnasium in Daejeon on the 25th. Heungkuk Life’s joint venture between Kim Yeon-kyung and Lee Jae-young (65 points) prevented the ginseng corporation from attacking the void without Lucia Fresco.

Heungkuk Life Insurance, who won 3-1 in the previous two confrontations, went to a full-set battle on this day. Lucia’s departure weakened her power, and her opponent also showed a thorough preparation. Valentina Diouf performed well this season, scoring 45 points, the most in one game.

Kim Yeon-kyung, who visited the interview room as a distinguished player, said, “I felt that Ginseng Corporation prepared a lot today,” and said, “We played a difficult game because the opposing team pushed us forward, but we are glad to be able to win a little ahead of the final game.”

On this day of Christmas, the Ginseng Corporation players prepared a special event. Just before the game, the players dressed as Santa and appeared at the stadium. Although it is Christmas, it is an event prepared by the club for fans who cannot find the stadium. Kim Yeon-kyung had to watch the scene where the Ginseng Corporation players were introduced in Santa clothes across the net.

How was Kim Yeon-kyung, who represents Girl Crush, among Korean sports stars?

Kim Yeon-kyung said, “I was a little embarrassed.” “If the Christmas game was our home game, wouldn’t we have worn it? Glad it wasn’t our home game.” He said, “I still did it for the fans, so I think the fans would have liked it.”

After the introduction, the Ginseng Corporation players who transformed into Santa took off their Santa outfits and focused on the game. As it was a Christmas home game, Ginseng Corporation players showed more focus than previous games to give fans a Christmas present. Thanks to this, the two teams gave joy to volleyball fans by playing an unpredictable match until the end.
