Volleyball Legend Kim Yeon-koung Teams Up with Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation for Exciting New Variety Show

Kim Yeon-koung to Step into the Spotlight with MBC’s Latest Volleyball Variety Show

Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) is set to launch a brand-new volleyball-themed variety show featuring legendary ‘Volleyball Empress’ Kim Yeon-koung. Fresh from her retirement at the end of the 2024-2025 season, Kim will make her highly anticipated broadcast debut, promising to showcase new sides of her personality beyond the court.

This marks Kim Yeon-koung’s first television appearance since stepping away from her illustrious playing career. The MBC program is expected to offer a refreshing perspective on volleyball, drawing from Kim’s storied experiences and inspiring attitude that made her a global icon. Having completed a last dance that rivaled the drama of any sports manga, Kim is now ready to embark on her ‘first dance’ in a new chapter of her volleyball life.

MBC has expressed high expectations, noting, “As Captain Kim Yeon-koung continues to pursue challenges fearlessly, we look forward to seeing what new stories she will create. She has inspired millions with her determination and never-give-up mindset, and this show will further spotlight her journey.”

The new volleyball variety series starring Kim Yeon-koung is scheduled to premiere in the second half of 2025. Stay tuned to witness the next evolution of an international volleyball superstar on screen.
