Jung Kwan-jang is looking forward to the spring volleyball season with a positive outlook, thanks to the performance of Megawatti Puttiwi (registered name Mega).

Mega, who arrived in Korea under the Asian quota system that professional volleyball introduced this year, has made waves in the women’s game since joining the league. An outside hitter and right-side spiker, Mega scored 138 points in the first round and was named the inaugural Asian Quarterfinal Most Valuable Player (MVP). A former Indonesian player with experience in the Thai-Vietnamese League, 토토 Mega caught the attention of volleyball fans by wearing a hijab to every match. She is the only one of the seven players from the Asian Quarter to be named the Most Valuable Player through five rounds this season.

Chung’s performance this season has followed her offense. After finishing Round 1 in third place, he struggled in Rounds 2 and 3 with a 3-9 record, but rebounded in Round 4 with a 4-2 record and continued his upward trend in Round 5 (5-1). This was in line with Mega’s round-by-round offensive success rate trend (48.46%→38.17%→42.32%→46.06%→47.43%). As Mega’s offense revived, so did the team’s performance. As of the 26th, Mega has scored 660 points in 31 V-League games (118 sets), ranking seventh in scoring, fifth in total offense (43.38% success rate), and second in serving, making him the de facto starting foreign player.

As Mega’s “megaton” offense intensifies, Jung is also feeling the “mega effect. “After Mega became the best player in the first round, Indonesians in Korea came to visit the stadium. Just like Son Heung-min in Korea, Indonesians feel that Mega is honoring the country,” he explained. The number of subscribers to Jung’s YouTube account, Ginseng TV (Teevee), has surged from about 30,000 to about 150,000 since Mega’s signing, with about 80 percent of the subscribers being Indonesians, Jung said. SPOTV has been broadcasting the V-League in Indonesia since the third round.

The trio of Giovanna Milana (registered name Jia), Mega, and So-Young Lee has been revitalized since the fourth round, when domestic ace Lee So-Young started playing full-time. Spring volleyball for the first time in seven years is within reach. In the first match of the sixth round, the team won three points against second-place Heungkuk Saengsim and went on a four-game winning streak to move into sole possession of third place (53 points, 17 wins, 14 losses). On the 27th, they will try to make it five in a row against Korea Expressway Corporation.
