MVP with ‘Phonepoon Hair’… Seungju Pyo “I Gained a Lot From my First All-Star Game”
Seungju Pyo (31, IBK Industrial Bank of Korea), who appeared on the All-Star stage for the first time in the 14th season of professional volleyball, enjoyed the honor of being named Most Valuable Player (MVP).
Seungju Pyo, who felt overwhelmed just by participating, gained fame and profit (prize money of 3 million won).
Seung-ju Pyo played as a V-star player in the 2023-2024 Professional Volleyball V-League All-Star Game held at Samsan World Gymnasium in Incheon on the 27th, and scored 4 points in the second set of the women's game. 카지노사이트
In the MVP press vote, Seung-ju Pyo received 13 votes, beating Yeon-kyung Kim (Heungkuk Life Insurance) with 8 votes.
Pyo Seung-ju, whom we met after the game, said, “It was my first time playing in an All-Star game, and I even won MVP.”
He added, “I was selected as an All-Star by fan voting (2,207 votes), so it’s all thanks to the fans.
“Thank you so much,” he said.
On this day, Pyo Seung-ju was responsible for the V-Star attack in the early part of the second set.
Outside of the game, Pyo Seung-ju caught the attention of fans several times.
In the first set of the men's game, he acted as a video referee and said, "Hello, this is Ponpoon.
It's a four hit," drawing laughter.
He had the same so-called ‘Pucca haircut’ as his colleague at IBK Industrial Bank of Korea, Ponpun Gedart (registered name: Ponpun).
Seungju Pyo said, "Punpun's hairstyle is cute and unique even to me.
I promised with my IBK Industrial Bank colleagues who came to the All-Star Game together, 'Let's do the Ponpun hairstyle,'" and added, "I wanted to make the fans laugh at least that way."
Even during the game, Seungju Pyo actively provided fan service, such as dancing in a trio with Ponpoon and Jeongmin Choi.
Seungju Pyo is a member of the national team and a member of the semifinals of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics held in 2021.
However, his connection to the All-Star Game took place only in his 14th year.
As such, his first All-Star Game will remain as a strong memory.
Seungju Pyo said, "I don't know how the day passed today.
It was really fun," and "I will remember for a long time the time I spent with the fans and the players who played in the All-Star Game together."
He also foreshadowed a 'gift', saying, "I will use the prize money for IBK Industrial Bank colleagues and players who participated in this All-Star Game together."
The best gift that can be given to IBK Industrial Bank fans is 'advance to the postseason'.
IBK Industrial Bank finished rounds 1 to 4, falling to 5th place (33 points, 11 wins, 13 losses).
After the All-Star Game break, the winner must be decided in the 5th or 6th round.
Seung-ju Pyo said, “I trained hard even during the break.
I will accumulate as many points as possible in the remaining 5 to 6 rounds to advance to the postseason, which is my ultimate goal.”
He pledged, “I will do my best until the end and get good results.”
