Woori Card’s in-house fan broadcast, which attracted a cumulative 1.58 million viewers last season, will continue into the new season. Announcer Jung In-young (41), known as the “Volleyball Goddess,” will host for a second consecutive year to engage with fans.

The Seoul Woori Card Woori WON Professional Volleyball Team (team owner Jin Sung-won) announced on the 30th that it will conduct its in-house fan broadcast starting from its first match of the 2026–2027 season against KEPCO at 7 p.m. on November 3.

Woori Card’s in-house fan broadcast first began during the 2020–2021 season, when games were played without spectators due to the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). It was a content initiative designed to allow fans who could not attend the arena to watch matches online and communicate in real time.

The team continued operating the broadcast even after spectator attendance resumed. Through its in-house broadcasts, the team has delivered diverse volleyball information to fans and fostered an online cheering culture by sharing opinions via real-time chat.

The results have been clear. According to Woori Card, the cumulative viewership for its in-house fan broadcast during the 2025–2026 season reached 1.58 million. The average number of concurrent viewers per match was as high as 2,400. During the home game against KB Insurance on January 11, approximately 40,000 cumulative online viewers tuned in to the fan broadcast, in addition to the 3,358 spectators present at the arena. At that time, cumulative viewership surpassed 900,000 for the entire season, and the peak concurrent viewership reached 5,260.

Based on this popularity, Announcer Jung In-young will join Woori Card fans again this year. Jung gained recognition among sports fans by hosting volleyball-focused programs such as “Special V” on KBS N SPORTS, as well as “I Love Baseball” and “La Liga Show.” In particular, she took on the role of host for Woori Card’s in-house fan broadcast last season, leveraging her experience in volleyball-related broadcasting and her understanding of the sport.

Last season, she called games alongside former player Choi Seok-gi, who is a Woori Card alumnus, while engaging with fans. She offered content differentiated from traditional broadcasts by not only describing game situations but also introducing players’ characteristics and tactics.

Announcer Jung’s connection to Woori Card extends beyond match broadcasting. She also hosted the official inauguration press conference for Head Coach Park Cheol-woo (41) in April. At the time, Woori Card introduced Head Coach Park Cheol-woo, who had been appointed as its fifth head coach, and announced a new beginning together with fans. Announcer Jung is also scheduled to serve as host for the open training event for fans planned for November 10.

Woori Card has recently strengthened its fan-centric team management. In April, it drew attention by first revealing the official appointment of Head Coach Park Cheol-woo to membership members before making a public announcement. This in-house fan broadcast is also an extension of these fan engagement activities. Fans who cannot visit the arena can watch matches in real time and participate in cheering.

Woori Card will begin its in-house fan broadcast starting from its first match of the new season against KEPCO at 7 p.m. on November 3. The broadcast hosted by Announcer Jung In-young can be viewed on the “Woori Card Official Broadcast Station” within the SOOP platform.
