"The Empress" Kim Yeon-kyung has left, but her influence still remains. "The Kim Yeon-koung Derby Without Kim Yeon-koung" will take place.

At 4 p.m. on the 4th, Daejeon Jeong Kwan-jang and Incheon Heungkuk Life Insurance's Jin Air 2025-2026 V-League Women's 4th round match will be held at Chungmu Gymnasium in Daejeon.

Mongolian Jamian Pureb Enkh Sun (21, director Jeong, registered name Inku City), who achieved his dream of becoming a professional after playing in the popular MBC entertainment program "New Director Kim Yeon-kyung," and Lee Na-yeon (34), who jumped back to the V League to fill the setter gap of Heungkuk Life, will face off for the first time as enemies.

Incusi is a volleyball player who came to Korea from Mongolia to study volleyball while developing his dream as a volleyball player. He worked with Kim Dae-eun (Korea Expressway Corporation) and Lee Ju-ah (GS Caltex) at Mokpo Yeo-sang, but he knocked on the V-League in the Asian quarter because he had not yet been naturalized, but was not selected and was active at Mokpo National University of Science.

Kim Yeon-koung turned from an entertainment program to a director after retirement after last season, and Incusi was selected as a must-win Wonder Dogs led by Kim Yeon-koung and played a strong role as a main outside heater.

Lee Na-yeon, who debuted in the 2011-2012 season, retired after playing 12 seasons with GS Caltex in Seoul, IBK Industrial Bank in Hwaseong, and Hyundai Engineering & Construction in Suwon, and later joined the Wonder Dogs while playing in the business league as a member of the Pohang City Sports Council and showed off her robustness.

Eventually, they headed to the professional stage side by side. In October last year, Lee Na-yeon jumped back to the professional stage after receiving a proposal to recruit Heungkuk Life Insurance, which had been troubled by the prolonged injury of main setter Lee Go-eun.

Incus also received a call from the chief of the articles of association, whose injury to Wipawi Shi Tong was prolonged. On the 8th of last month, he wore a uniform of Jeong Kwan-jang as a substitute for the Asian quarter.

Lee Na-yeon has been growing her position by starting in the last four consecutive games. Heungkuk Life Insurance, which had won three consecutive games, failed to significantly raise its ranking in the last two games, losing to GS Caltex and Hyundai Engineering & Construction after a full set. Currently, he is in third place with 9 wins and 10 losses and 30 points. I'm desperate for victory. Lee Na-yeon's performance is important.

Incusi was officially registered on the 18th of last month and played in four games. Although he has been recognized for his offensive ability, he shows a fatal weakness in defense. In the match against Korea Expressway Corporation on the 1st, the receiving efficiency was at a disastrous level of 9.52% but he scored 13 points in the attack and snapped a four-game losing streak against the leading team.

Jeong Kwan-jang, who won from the first day of the new year, gained a scary momentum, and Incusi is also showing its presence as a box office card. According to the data released by KOVO, the average number of spectators increased by 580 by the third round compared to before and after Incusi was recruited. In terms of ratings, the match against GS Caltex, Incusi's debut match on December 19, was second overall this season, and three of the top five ratings in the women's division included Jeong Kwan-jang.

Incusi and Choi Seo-hyun are gaining popularity, and Jeong Kwan-jang is enjoying explosive popularity despite being at the bottom with 6 wins and 14 losses and 18 points. Except for wheelchair seats in Gyeonggi Province, there are no empty seats available on this day.

Incusi is drawing attention on how he will perform against Lee Na-yeon, who he meets for the first time on the professional stage. Volleyball fans are paying attention to whether Jeong Kwan-jang will start the new year perfectly with two consecutive wins or Heungkuk Life Insurance, led by Lee Na-yeon, will escape the losing streak in the enemy camp.
