'Best friends of 22 years, Kim Yeon-kyung and Kim Su-ji'

finally stand side by side on the same court.

Heungkuk Life Insurance and Korea Expressway Corporation faced each other in the championship game last season. Heungkuk Life Insurance won both the 1st and 2nd games at home and advanced to the championship, but the Korea Expressway Corporation won the 3rd and 4th games at home, and the game came to a close.

This season, Heungkuk Life Insurance had a player wearing a new uniform. This is Kim Yeon-kyung's best friend, Kim Su-ji. FA Kim Su-ji signed a three-year contract with Heungkuk Life Insurance worth a total of 310 million won (annual salary of 270 million won and option of 40 million won). The reason why he decided to wear the Heungkuk Life Insurance uniform was because of his desire to win and his close relationship with Kim Yeon-kyung.

Kim Yeon-kyung and Kim Su-ji played volleyball together at Wongok Middle School and Hanil Jeonsan Girls' High School, but this was their first time wearing the same uniform as a professional.

Ahead of the first game of the season, Kim Su-ji did not feel awkward at all with her teammates. Kim Su-ji played for Heungkuk Life Insurance from the 2016 to 2017 season, so she returned to her former team after 7 years.

Before the game, Kim Yeon-kyung and Kim Su-ji were seen chatting happily while training. And as he was a senior member of the team, he was also seen taking care of the younger players.

Kim Yeon-kyung, who started as a starter in the first game against Korea Road Corporation, led the team to victory by scoring 16 points (53.33% attack success rate), ranking second in scoring after Jelena with 20 points (53.13% attack success rate).

Kim Su-ji, who was substituted in the second half of the first set, also showed a stable performance with 5 effective blocks and 1 point.

In particular, Kim Yeon-kyung approached Kim Soo-ji, who threw herself forward for the third set of digs, held her hand, and then patted her shoulder in a friendly manner.
