To the president...", "I am grateful for him watching (the match) like that, we received messages from many people and talked a lot about women's volleyball this time. To be honest, I don't think what we did was that big, but I am grateful for all the good stories. I hope you will have more expectations and interests in the future."

To Kim Yeon Kyung who talked so far, as though they were not "yet" satisfied? The moderator said again, "Today (thank you) seats have been set up. To the president..." Kim Yeon Kyung looking surprised said, "You spoke right now right...?"
