Even the cold weather could not stop the enthusiasm of volleyball fans.
The 2022-2023 V-League All-Star Game held at Incheon Samsan World Gymnasium on the 29th was a box office hit. The area around the stadium was full of fans wearing uniforms marked with the names of the players they usually cheer for. In addition, fans did not cease to come to the All-Star Game merchandise store.
Fans couldn’t hide their surprise when ‘Volleyball Empress’ Kim Yeon-kyung, who participated in the All-Star Game for the first time in 16 years, appeared at the photo booth of ‘4 Cuts of Life’. Kim Yeon-kyung had a great time taking pictures with her fans. Fans’ faces were full of smiles at the surprise meeting with the world star.
At the All-Star Game on this day, the M-Star of dignity and the Z-Star of ambition will face off properly.
Reflecting the trend of the MZ generation, this all-star player was newly formed as a male M-Star and Z-Star before and after birth in 1995, and a female M-Star and Z-Star before and after birth in 1996. M-Star, a collection of seasoned veterans, and Z-Star, a collection of young, spirited young guns, compete against each other with their competitive power.
The way the game is operated is also completely different from the last 21-22 All-Star Game. Unlike last year, which consisted of 15 points per set for women, 2 sets for men and women, and 3 sets for men, a total of 4 sets of 15 points per set were composed of 1st and 2nd sets for women and 3rd and 4th sets for men. Court changes are also conducted after the 1st and 3rd sets in the same operation as in the actual game. 안전놀이터
