# V-Queen Yang Hyo-jin's second or Kim Yeon-koung's second consecutive award

It was a six-month long journey. The "Dodram 2023-2024 V-League" ended with the combined victory of Korean Air in men's category and Hyundai Engineering & Construction in women's category. However, the curtain has not yet come to an end. The V-League Awards ceremony will take place at The K Hotel in Yangjae, Seoul on Tuesday.


The biggest concern is the winner of the MVP of the regular season league. First of all, the women's team is a competition between veteran middle blocker Yang Hyo-jin (35, Hyundai Engineering & Construction) and top ace Kim Yeon-koung (36, Heungkuk Life Insurance).

Yang Hyo-jin, who ranked second in the blocking, open attack and fast attack categories, was a model for his juniors with thorough self-management and led the team without noise with mild leadership. Hyundai Engineering & Construction slowed down for a while at the end of the regular league, but after confirming the first place on its own, it won three consecutive games against Heungkuk Life Insurance in the championship game and achieved its second integrated victory and third championship game.

Yang hopes for personal glory, too. She aims to reclaim the title for the first time in two years after winning the MVP award in the women's division in the 2021-2022 season during the COVID-19 pandemic. On top of that, Yang seems to be in a prime position to win the Best 7 Middle Blocker category for 10 consecutive years, which has continued since the 2014-2015 season.

Yang Hyo-jin's strongest rival is her best friend, Kim Yeon-koung. Despite the contrast, Kim Yeon-koung and Yang Hyo-jin were so close that they asked each other's regards over the phone and promised to do well before Heungkuk Life had a championship match with Jeong Kwan-jang.

Not everyone can laugh, however. Kim only finished in second place. Still, she is eligible for the MVP award. She was more than a foreign striker, leading Heungkuk Life forward. If Kim wins the MVP award, it will be her second consecutive year. As her contract with Heungkuk Life expires at the end of this season, she will be able to express her position in any form at the award ceremony.

The men's MVP is a rivalry between Lim Dong-hyuk, 25, the Korean Air's native ace, and Leo, a 34-year-old Cuban foreign player who significantly exceeded expectations. Lim, who is set to join the Korean military athletic unit (Sangju Sangmu) on Friday, was the best option for coach Tommy Tilikainen (Finland), who had been agonizing over injuries sustained since the beginning of the season. He strengthened his team by winning the first place in offense and the second place in the time difference and the Quick Open. Leo, who ranked first in open attack and second in attack, scored, served, and served. Leo is looking for his fourth individual title in nine years after winning the MVP title in the 2012-2013, 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 seasons.
