Chang made a strong start to her career by winning the Most Valuable Player of the Year award in 1989.[1] She was named "best server" at the 1989 FIVB Volleyball Women's World Cup, and "best defender" at the 1991 FIVB Volleyball Women's World Cup. In 1996, she stated that she had no intention of getting married or retiring in the near future.[3] After the 1996 Summer Olympics, she stepped down from the national team, but continued to play at the club level.[4] She married national cycling team member Lee Kyung-hwan in April 1997.[5] Though initially concerned about her ability to balance married life and the demands of volleyball, she returned to the national team again in 1998.[4] She retired in 2002, and later became a coach for GS Caltex.[6]
