[E-Daily Starin Gim Ga Yeong Reporter] As MBC’s “Rookie Director Kim Yeon-kyung” returns for Season 2, the show will meet fans at its first official live match.

On the 14th, the production team of “Rookie Coach Kim Yeon-koung” announced that they are inviting fans to attend the first official live game. Spectators will be able to watch Coach Kim Yeon-koung and the “Victory Wonder Dogs” in action and cheer on the players in person. Applications to attend the game can be submitted until 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, the 16th, via the QR code in the recruitment image or the link provided in the live game announcement post on the YouTube channel “Wonder Dogs Locker Room.” Attendees will be selected by lottery from among the applicants. Winners will be notified individually by phone from Friday, the 17th, through Sunday, the 19th.
In the first official home game of Season 2, taking place on the 21st at the Ansan Sangnoksu Kim Yeon-koung Gymnasium, “Victory Wonder Dogs” will face off once again against “Heungkuk Life Pink Spiders.” The “Heungkuk Life Pink Spiders” are a powerhouse team that faced off against “Victory Wonder Dogs” in the final match of Season 1; they are one of the V-League’s most prestigious and strongest clubs, boasting solid teamwork and formidable strength. In particular, since Season 1 “Pilseung Wonder Dogs” captain Pyo Seung-ju and setter Lee Na-yeon currently play for Heungkuk Life, attention is focused on the matchup between these two players—who were the team’s aces last season—and the “Pilseung Wonder Dogs” players in the new season. Anticipation is high to see what kind of match the two teams will put on when they face off on the court.
MBC’s “Rookie Coach Kim Yeon-koung 2” is a club-building project featuring Kim Yeon-koung—now in her second year as a “veteran coach”—and the “Victory Wonder Dogs” as they transition from “UNDER” to “WONDER.” After helping the team grow in Season 1, expectations are high to see what kind of leadership and strategies Coach Kim Yeon-koung will showcase in the even more intense Season 2.
Meanwhile, MBC’s “Rookie Coach Kim Yeon-koung” is a club-building project featuring volleyball legend Kim Yeon-koung—known as the “Volleyball Emperor”—as she returns as a rookie coach. Season 1, which aired in 2025, was a huge hit, leading to the production of Season 2. Season 2 is scheduled to air in the second half of this year.
