The best serving player this season was Sherone Benon Evans (28, Suwon KEPCO). He made a strong serve that matches the best record of Moon Sung-min (retired), who has been on the serve three times.
Shenon was crowned serve king with a maximum speed of 123 kilometers per hour in the Jin Air Spike Sub King Contest, which was held after the first set of the Jin Air 2025-2026 V-League All-Star Game at Hoban Gymnasium in Chuncheon on the 25th.
In this contest, where one person from each team can participate, each player tried to serve three times and competed at the highest speed.
For the first time in the men's division, Shin Jang-ho (OK Savings Bank) recorded 110 kilometers per hour on his third attempt. Han Tae-joon (Woori Card) hit 99km, and Lee Woo-jin (Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance) hit 112km with a serve in his third attempt.
Sharon Benon Evans (Korea Electric Power Corporation, registered name Leo), who will try right away without practice, recorded 128km, but was caught in the net. In the second attempt, it was 123km, matching Moon Sung-min's record in the 2015-2016 season, the highest ever. Kyle Russell (Korean Air, registered name Russell), who is ranked first in the serve, expressed his feelings in Korean, saying, "I don't feel good," drawing laughter when his first attempt ended at 109km. He scored 117 km on his third attempt, but it did not match Benon's record.
Andres Villena (KB Insurance, registered name Villena) also reached only 106km in the first attempt and then raised it to 119km in the second, but failed to cross Bennon in the end, recording the same record in the last attempt. Leonardo Leyva Martinez (Hyundai Capital, registered name Leo), the last runner, was only 112km.
In the women's category, Giselle Silva (GS Caltex) showed off her overwhelming dignity. Jeon Soo-min (IBK Industrial Bank) was the first to record 89km/h. Since then, it has been difficult for the players to go over 80km, but Silva, who went out last, was caught in the net in the first attempt and was out in the second, and recorded 93km in the third attempt to become the second consecutive sub-queen since last year.
Benon said, "I feel good. I hit hard because I liked the toss, but I think the speed came out well. More than that, I'm more happy to be here and communicate with the fans, he said. "I wasn't nervous. There were some players who hit well, but I believed in myself. I was confident," he said.
Venon, who worked harder than anyone else at the pre-event the day before, said, "It was so good to communicate with the fans, and I hope we can enjoy it together today."
Silva also expressed his determination to refuse the offer to share the prize money with the interpreter, even though he said, "I was so nervous." Subking Venon and subqueen Silva were given a prize of 1 million won and a flight ticket.
The Pocari Sweat Best Libero Contest was then held. Four All-Star selection Libero participated, and the player who received the participant's serve for 45 seconds and put more balls in the basket held by fans wins.
Jeong Min-soo (Korea Electric Power Corp.) who came first succeeded 25 with the serve of his teammates Shin Young-seok, Han Soo-jin (Korean Air), and Choi Min-ho (Hyundai Capital), who are the three veterans.
Park Kyung-min (Hyundai Capital) chose his competitors Jeong Min-soo, Moon Jung-won (Korea Expressway Corporation), and Lim Myeong-ok (IBK Industrial Bank) as servers, which embarrassed Park Kyung-min by putting in a strong serve during practice. Although he easily served in the main game, he only had 20.
Lim Myung-ok chose Yoo Seo-yeon (GS Caltex), Kim Hee-jin (Hyundai Engineering & Construction), and Jeon Kwang-in (OK Savings Bank), but he threatened, "Hit it straight," but the accurate serve flew in and succeeded in 30.
Moon Jung-won (Korea Expressway Corporation) was helped by Shimamura, Park Jung-ah (Pepper Savings Bank), and Han Tae-joon (Woori Card), but the winner was Lim Myeong-ok with 20.
Lim Myeong-ok, who won 1 million won in prize money, said, "I think I knew a little more that I did it one more time than Libero, who we did together," adding, "I'm so satisfied." He said he would buy a dog snack, but he said, "I will share it with the players who served."
