Women's volleyball star Yang Hyo-jin (37, Hyundai Engineering & Construction)'s "Last Dance" will kick off.

Yang Hyo-jin attended Jin Air 2025-2026 V-League Postseason (PS) Media Day held at Hotel Rivera Cheongdam in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the 20th as a team representative player.

He, who is retiring after this season, met with Star News shortly after the event and said, "I'm grateful that I've come this far, rather than being greedy because it's the last time," adding, "Even when I've won in the past, it's not something you can do to be greedy about. I think there will be good results if we do our best," he said.

Hyundai E&C finished second in the regular league and advanced to the playoffs. GS Caltex and Heungkuk Life Insurance's semi-playoff (24th) winner will play a playoff of two wins out of three from the 26th. If he wins here, he will face the Korea Expressway Corporation in the championship game.

Yang Hyo-jin is a franchise star who played only in Hyundai E&C for 19 seasons after his V-League debut in the 2007-2008 season. As a middle blocker with excellent blocking ability, quick attack, and steady scoring ability, he was loved by fans as he played an active role not only in his team but also in the national team.

Leading Hyundai Engineering & Construction's three wins (2010-2011, 2015-2016 and 2023-2024 seasons), he also tasted the glory of regular season MVP (2019-2020, 2021-2022) and championship MVP (2015-2016 season). He announced through the club on the 3rd that he will end his career after this season and held a retirement ceremony at the last home game held at Suwon Indoor Gymnasium on the 8th.

Yang Hyo-jin also said at the official Media Day event that day, "I don't have much different feelings about his last postseason. We are a team with good teamwork, so we will try to do it until the end as we always have done, and I will also finish the last really well," he said calmly.
