What will the "Queen of Volleyball" Jin Ruanjing do after retiring, in addition to preparing to enter the film and television entertainment industry, there is also a plan B

South Korea's 37-year-old "volleyball queen" Kim Jung-kyung, who said goodbye to the court and started her second life, will meet fans as a volleyball coach on a TV variety show. MBC (Korea Culture Broadcasting Co., Ltd.) said on the 26th: "We will join hands with Jin Ruanjing to launch a new variety show in the second half of this year." It is reported that MBC was founded in 1961 and is one of the three major TV mainstream media in South Korea, known as the "Kingdom of Korean Dramas".

On May 18, 2025, Kim served as the head coach of the star team at the women's volleyball world all-star game "2025KYK Invitational Tournament" and gave instructions to the players.

At the same time as retiring, Jin Ruanjing's life became busier. Kim Jung-kyung, who joined the Korean women's professional volleyball Heungkook Life Team in 2005 to start her career as a player, has been the main attacker of the world's top women's volleyball team for nearly 20 years. Having played for the Japanese women's volleyball team JT Mabules, the Turkish league Fenerbahce team, Isaqibashi team and the Chinese league Shanghai team, she returned to the Heungkook Life team in the 2020-2021 season.

After a brief season in the Chinese league and return to South Korea in the 2022-2023 season, Kim Jung-kyung led the Heungkook Life team to the overall championship (first place in the regular season, championship competition) in the 2024-2025 season, won the league player of the best (MVP), and retired gorgeously.

Kim is receiving a chair toss from the World All-Star Team players after the end of the "2025 KYK Invitational Tournament".

It is expected that soon, the TV station will reveal what kind of role Jin Ruanjing will play in the program and in what form. On the 18th local time, Kim Ruanjing temporarily coached the head coach through the World Women's Volleyball All-Star Game held at the Samsan Gymnasium in Incheon. At that time, in the first and third games, the coach's tactical board was sandwiched in the ribs to encourage the players, and in the second and fourth games, the players went on the court to play the main attack. After the game, Kim said, "I don't think it's easy to be a coach. If I become a coach in the future, today will be the most comfortable day. He also agreed to return to the court as a coach in the future.

Kim took the stage to applaud after the "2025 KYK Invitational Tournament".

In addition, Jin Ruanjing also said: "The friends who appeared at the World All-Star Game also have opinions that it is very suitable to be a coach, and there are talents in administration and film and television. So I can do whatever I want. Currently, Kim started her career as an "administrator" as an advisor to the Korean women's volleyball national team and Heungkook Life Club, and will be active as a "coach" and "host" through MBC volleyball variety shows.
