“Why should I watch Korean volleyball?” A poignant question ‘Experience’ Shin Young-seok’s answer is

KEPCO Shin Young-seok.

“I was asked why I should go watch Korean volleyball.”

Shin Young-seok (38, Korea Electric Power Corporation), who won the Men's Most Valuable Player (MVP) award at the V-League All-Star Game on the 27th, said this. It was a question that struck the heart of the 'veteran', who had been a star player in the V-League and a middle blocker for the national team for a long time.

Last year, Korean volleyball showed poor performance that was close to a ‘disaster’ in international competitions.

The men's national team finished in 7th place after struggling at the Hangzhou Asian Games, including losing to India and Pakistan, and failed to participate in the Challenger Cup, a lower level competition of the Volleyball Nations League (VNL). The women's national team also performed poorly, losing all games in the VNL for two years in a row and finishing in 5th place at the Hangzhou Asian Games.

Men's volleyball has failed to make it to the Olympics for five consecutive times since the 2000 Sydney Olympics, and the possibility of participating in this year's Paris Olympics has disappeared. The women's national team is also performing poorly.

The men's volleyball team suffered humiliation at the Hangzhou Asian Games.

There was a lot of concern about the success of the V-League after seeing the bitter taste in international competitions, but fortunately, there is no problem with the success of the V-League in the 2023-24 season. At the end of the 3rd round, the return point of the regular season, the average attendance for the men's game increased by 23.5%, and the women's game also increased slightly.

Even in a situation where competitiveness on the international stage is faltering, the domestic league is sailing smoothly, which is an ironic situation. In a way, it is natural that there is no proper answer to the question, “Why should I watch volleyball?”

Veteran Shin Young-seok said that we still need to find hope.

He said, “It is true that we have fallen to rock bottom,” but added, “Many of the young players who appeared in today’s All-Star Game are players who will lead men’s volleyball in the future. “I hope you will support the growth of these players,” he said.

KEPCO Shin Young-seok of the K-Star team, who won the men's game of the professional volleyball '2023-2024 Dodram V-League All-Star Game' held at Incheon Samsan World Gymnasium in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon on the afternoon of the 27th, is smiling.

He said, “I hope that the players can show their growth by working hard and dream of going to the Olympics again. “Please support the players’ growth,” he repeatedly asked.

Meanwhile, the men's and women's national teams plan to recruit coaches for the men's and women's national teams by conducting a recruitment process in February. After the crushing defeat at the Asian Games last year, both coach Lim Do-heon and coach Cesar Hernández resigned, leaving the national team coach position vacant.
