Kim Yeon-koung Instagram – 🏐NE IN A BILLION 💫.
📖 The end of a playing career often signals the closing of a chapter. In Kim’s case, it has become the beginning of another.
After two decades competing at the highest level of international volleyball, the South Korean star stepped away from professional competition in 2025. But the transition away from the sport’s most visible stage had already begun a year earlier.
✨ That realization now guides the next stage of her life. Although the intensity of professional competition is behind her, Kim remains closely connected to the sport through mentorship and development work with younger athletes.
