The Dodram 2022-2023 V-League opened on October 22. The opening match of the men's division was held at Gyeyang Gymnasium in Incheon, where Korean Air and KB Insurance competed. The first game of women's division was at Suwon Gymnasium, competition between Hyundai Engineering & Construction and Korea Expressway Corporation was held.
Personally, the reason why the volleyball league is expected is that the V League women's national team has faced unfavorable factors that the league ends early due to the spread of the coronavirus twice in the past three seasons (19-20/21-22).
This year, the spread of COVID-19 has decreased compared to the past, so a new season of women's volleyball is expected. Also, Kim Yeon-kyung, dubbed the "Volleyball Empress," has returned to Heungkuk Life Insurance this season. Kim Yeon-kyung stayed at Heungkuk Life Insurance for a while in the 20-21 season and left the domestic stage for a while on her way to Shanghai. Many volleyball fans are looking forward to Kim Yeon-kyung's return.
Just like Son Heung-min in men's soccer, there is volleyball empress Kim Yeon-kyung in women's volleyball. Kim Yeon-kyung's return is expected to raise interest in women's volleyball itself.
I haven't watched the V League often, but I became interested in the news of Kim Yeon-kyung's return. But this season, as my home is in Suwon, I'm going to cheer for Suwon Hyundai Engineering & Construction instead of Heungkuk Life Insurance.
After a brief search of the club that I support, it was the strongest team in V League history last season. Last season, Hyundai Engineering & Construction won the opening 12 consecutive games and 15 consecutive wins in the middle of the season, setting a new record for the women's winning streak. However, as the season ended early, they did not win. Based on last season's performance, I think they can win the championship this season.
Hyundai Engineering & Construction won the match at Suwon Gymnasium with a set score of 3-0. We cheer for Hyundai Engineering & Construction, which has been doing well since the first game of the opening game!
