Veteran Shin Young-seok and Lim Myeong-ok’s slickback… Volleyball All-Star Game full of laughter

Directors including Shin Young-seok, Kang Seong-hyung, and Abondanza also joined the dance ceremony.

Shin Young-seok (37, Korea Electric Power Corporation) performed the 'slickback', also known as the 'levitation dance', while jumping rope.

Lim Myeong-ok (37, Korea Expressway Corporation), who entered the court during the men's game, also danced the slickback with Shin Young-seok.

The players who heated up the court with strong spikes and fierce defense shook their bodies excitedly to give fans 'laughter' in the 2023-2024 Professional Volleyball V-League All-Star Game held at Samsan World Gymnasium in Incheon on the 27th.

K Star (men's division Korean Air, Korea Electric Power Corporation, OK Financial Group, women's division Korea Expressway Corporation, Hyundai Engineering & Construction, GS Caltex) and V Star (men's division Hyundai Capital, Woori Card, KB Insurance, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, women's division Heungkuk Life Insurance, Cheong Kwan Jang, IBK Korean professional volleyball stars, divided into Industrial Bank of Korea and Pepper Savings Bank, placed more emphasis on laughter than performance on this day.

K-Star won the first and second sets with a total of 37-36 (21-15 16-21), but the losing V-Star players also looked bright.

K-Star Shin Young-seok, who ranked first in the men's All-Star fan vote and declared, "I will show you a great ceremony," stood on one side of the court holding a jump rope after succeeding in a quick break in the first set, 3-2.

He then showed off his amazing skills of jumping rope and dancing slick back.

In the middle of the first set, he paired up with Myung-ok Lim and crossed the court with a slickback.

The ‘judgment that ignored the rules’ also brought joy to the fans that day.

When the attack of fellow teammate Leonardo Leiva Martinez (registered name: Leo, OK Financial Group) was ruled out in the first set, 1-0, K star Lim Dong-hyuk (Korean Air) stepped up as a video judge and made a point to V star Kim Ji-han (Woori Card).

‘Touch out’ was declared.

The actual ball did not reach Kim Ji-han's hand.

It was an ‘intentional misjudgment’ that can only be seen in All-Star games.

The K-Star team ignored the volleyball rule that only 6 players per team can stand on the court and 3 players in the front line, and also used an 'unconventional tactic' by placing 7 blockers in the front line.

In the second set, when K-star Kim Ji-won (GS Caltex) entered the court wearing a pig mask, V-star coach Marcello Abondanza (Heungkuk Life Insurance) gave a strategy instruction: “Hit the pig’s head.” https://www.thebmc.co.uk/profile?id=63311

Choi Jeong-min (IBK Industrial Bank of Korea) accurately guessed the pig mask, causing both players and fans to burst into laughter.

K-Star coach Kang Seong-hyung (Hyundai Engineering & Construction) stepped forward as a video reviewer and admitted, “It hit me precisely on the head,” making fans laugh even louder.

This All-Star Game was divided into a first set for men and a second set for women, but there was no need to follow the rules.

V star Kim Yeon-kyung (Heungkuk Life Insurance) entered her court instead of Kim Ji-han, served, and also scored an attack.

Libero Oh Ji-young (Pepper Savings Bank), setter Ponpoon Gedpard (IBK Industrial Bank, registered name Ponpoon), and middle blocker Choi Jeong-min (IBK Industrial Bank of Korea) also joined the V-Star men's team and played.

In K-Star, striker Giselle Silva (GS Caltex, registered name Silva) served and scored in the first set of the men's division, and libero Myung-ok Lim took the attack from V-Star players.

In the second set of the women's match, Leo came in to serve and made a 'predicted serve' pointing to Kim Yeon-kyung.

In reality, the ball was aimed at Mega Wattie (registered name Mega/Cheong Kwan-jang), not Kim Yeon-kyung.

Referee Yong Dong-guk replaced Kim Se-bin (Korea Expressway Corporation) as a member of the K-Star team in the middle of the second set, served, and held a spectacular ceremony.

The ‘Couple Dance between Coach and Player’, a highlight of the All-Star Game, drew cheers from fans again on this day.

At 6-9 in the first set, V Star Team libero Park Gyeong-min (Hyundai Capital) briefly acted as a setter and raised the ball to setter Han Tae-jun (Woori Card).

After Taejun Han succeeded in his open attack, he dragged director Shin Youngcheol out and danced with him to singer Jisoo's 'Flower'.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction coach Kang Seong-hyung received a warning after wearing Jeong Ji-yoon's uniform as a K-star player in the second set and refusing to do the 'dance ceremony.'

He then danced with Hyundai Gyeonseol players such as Lee Da-hyun and Kim Da-in.

Kim Yeon-kyung performed a ‘sticky dance’ with Heungkuk Life Insurance coach Abondanza.

At the beginning of the second set, K-star Yang Hyo-jin (Hyundai Engineering & Construction) danced solo, and V-star Kim Yeon-kyung, Phone Poon, and Mega responded with a combined dance, which was also impressive.

When K-star Jeong Ji-yoon (Hyundai Engineering & Construction) called the broadcast camera and danced alone to Kim Jong-guk's 'Lovely', V-star Pyo Seung-ju, Phone Poon, and Choi Jeong-min (IBK Industrial Bank of Korea) danced 'three-member dance' to the same song. They even fired back.

Silva from Brazil and Leo from Cuba also heated up the court with a spectacular couple dance.

In the Sub King & Queen contest, Matei Kok (registered name Matei/Woori Card) and Silva won and received a prize of 1 million won.

Matei recorded a speed of 120 km/h and became the first Woori Card player to become the sub king.

Silva won the subqueen title with a speed of 97 km/h, the second-highest speed ever. https://wakelet.com/wake/7ev2lrdyVhrqjCeBgBVwK

In the libero contest, Ryohei Iga (Korea Electric Power Corporation) beat Myeong-ok Myeong-ok after overtime and took first place, winning 1 million won in prize money.

Although it was not sold out (6,415 seats) due to cancellation, 6,120 people, the 5th largest in the history of V-League All-Star games, visited the stadium and enjoyed the 'volleyball festival'.

Before the game, fans roamed the court with the players doing human curling, group jumping rope, and board flipping.
