After starting the season with five consecutive wins, Korea Electric Power Corporation fell into a five-game losing streak following the departure of foreign player Elian, but they managed to endure through sheer willpower.

In the early stages of the first set, Seo Jae-duck took the initiative with a block, and Gu Gyo-hyeok shook the opponent with sharp back-row attacks.

In the second set, veteran Shin Yung-suk joined the fray.

Shin Yung-suk roared with success, following his signature quick attacks with a beautifully placed service ace.

In the third set, they fell behind the opponent, trailing by four points.

Coach Kwon Young-min focused on uplifting the players rather than giving special tactical instructions.
