'Volleyball Empress' Kim Yeon-kyung, who is making her debut as a commentator through KBS, advised against Vietnam, the first women's volleyball match at the Asian Games, saying, "It is true that Vietnam is on the rise, but if they use their serve and play strong, they can easily win."

Regarding the Vietnam match, Commissioner Kim Yeon-kyung showed a competitive spirit, saying, “We lost to Vietnam in the Asian Championships, so we need to make up for it this time.” Also, “Vietnam is on the rise. “Even in the Asian Championships, our country was winning, but then suffered a come-from-behind loss,” he said. He prayed for victory, saying, “If we take advantage of Korea’s advantage, the serve, and make it stronger, we can win.”

Kim Yeon-kyung emphasized, “In women’s volleyball, you have to pass the preliminaries as first place in your group to be in an advantageous position.” He continued, “It will be very tiring and difficult as we have to go through many competitions, including the Asian Championships, Paris Olympic qualifiers, and the Asian Games, but I hope everyone does their best without getting injured. “I will fight alongside you,” he said, energizing the national team.
