11년만에 돌아온 '배구 여제' 김연경, 오늘 복귀 인사
The world's highest-paid volleyball player, Kim Yeon-koung, will hold a press conference this afternoon, marking her return to the Korean V-League after eleven years plying her trade overseas.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest players ever, Kim recently revealed she was rejoining her former club Heungkuk Life Pink Spiders on a year-long deal worth almost 300-thousand U.S. dollars.
The terms of her contract grabbed headlines here as Kim's salary alone is more than the rest of the entire squad combined.
A club official said they initially proposed double the salary to Kim, but she refused, asking instead that her younger teammates be given a pay rise.
Kim's press conference will be held at 2PM, Korea time.

Everybody should be like her, not becoming blindsighted from greed when the money talk start, but think about the younger sunbae as well !

@Smirk i get your point but not everyone is being paid as high as her considering that she's almost at the age of retiring now and that's more of a reason for someone to be greedy over money but she proved us wrong. not to mention that she was also offered a blank cheque by china, where she can write any amount she wishes, when her contract ended but then she declined because her goal was to play in european league. in conclusion, kim yeon koung is not only one of the world's best volleyball players; a legend at thatㅡ but she's also passionate and a very good role model to look up to.

@John Richardson She receives around 1.8 million usd annual salary. She can't confirm the exact amount because it's part of the contract but she hinted that it's more than that. However, she decided to return to korea this year, after 11 years of playing outside her country, and now receives 300-350k USD after signing a contract with heungkuk life. But it is all for tokyo olympics preparation. She did this even though a lot of agents are contacting her to join their club while offering her the highest salary.
