Hyundai Engineering & Construction One Club Woman Yang Hyo-jin shed hot tears at the retirement ceremony, receiving a bouquet of flowers and a plaque of appreciation from her best friend Kim Yeon-kyung.

Yang Hyo-jin (37, Hyundai Engineering & Construction), the legend of Korean women's volleyball, held a tearful retirement ceremony with a standing ovation from home fans.



Yang Hyo-jin, who grabbed the microphone at the retirement ceremony, said, "Thank you for coming to see so many fans. I don't usually shake on the court, but I think I was very nervous today. When I took my first step on the court as a rookie for the first time, I didn't think I would do it here at the end," he said in his retirement speech.

"I ran after watching just one volleyball, but I'm grateful and proud that I received a lot of love from my fans. Thank you for your blessing to the end. I am also grateful to my coaches and colleagues for being with me. I am once again grateful to the fans for their love and support," he added.


Kim Yeon-kyung, who visited her best friend's retirement ceremony, stimulated Yang Hyo-jin's tear glands by saying, "The fans will be sorry for leaving the court, but please support her life after retirement," and "I hope she enjoys doing something she hasn't done before."

Yang Hyo-jin (14) is the sixth permanent member of the V-League after Kim Yeon-koung (10).

In the final home game of Korean volleyball legend Yang Hyo-jin, Papper Savings Eun-hyang, Yang Hyo-jin fought hard with the highest attack success rate (53.85%) until the last minute, but failed to win in the end.
