Kim Yeon Koung Picks Inkuci for Mongolian Volleyball

KBS's 'Charles Next Door' will share an update on Inkushi, Sama, and Anonggo, who came to Korea from Mongolia as student athletes for volleyball. Among them, Inkushi, who succeeded in entering the professional league, is receiving the most attention. Inkushi gained recognition last year by appearing on MBC's entertainment program 'New Director Kim Yeon-koung' and debuted as a professional player after his outstanding skills were acknowledged. Their 'Charles Next Door' appearance videos from their high school days are also regaining attention.

At the time, the three 18-year-olds came to Mokpo, Jeollanam-do, South Korea, from Mongolia with dreams of becoming volleyball players. Despite their young age, they moved viewers with their confident and honest demeanor and their strong friendship, relying on each other through their difficult lives in a foreign land.

As adults, the three are charting their futures in their own ways. Inspired by Yeom Eoreong, who was selected as the first overall pick in the Korean professional volleyball league rookie draft, they decided to come to Korea. After graduating from school, they chose different paths and went their separate ways.

After a long time, they visited their alma mater and met with their juniors. Currently, Mokpo Girls' High School has the Mokpo Girls' High School Student Athlete Volleyball Team, the first all-foreign student volleyball team in Jeollanam-do, consisting of 16 Mongolian student athletes. The seniors offered their juniors generous advice and encouragement.

Even after graduation and in the face of reality, their passion for volleyball has not waned. Inkushi is solidifying his position as a volleyball player, Sama is exploring new career paths, and Anonggo has left the volleyball court to challenge himself in a completely new field.
