In the middle of the second set against Woori Card, Hyundai Capital's Leo successfully executed a back-row attack from the center, prompting the scoreboard to announce his record-breaking achievement.

He reached 2,015 points in back-row attacks, making him number one in V-League history.

Compared to the second place, Park Chul-woo, who played in significantly more matches, this is an outstanding record.

Leo debuted in the V-League in 2012 wearing a Samsung Fire & Marine uniform and has won the regular season MVP for three consecutive seasons, earning the love of fans with his Korea-friendly demeanor.

In his seventh season, he is expecting to achieve various records in this V-League season.

However, on the day he achieved this remarkable record, Leo could not smile.

After losing two sets in a row to Woori Card, he fought hard in the latter part of the third set but ultimately lost 3-0.

In a tense match that went to full sets, Jung Kwan Jang Mega's attacks were fierce.

Park Eun-jin also blocked the opponent's attacks with a solid defense.

With setter Yeum Hye-seon distributing the ball evenly, five players scored in double digits, leading Jung Kwan Jang to a 3-2 victory over GS Caltex.

Jung Kwan Jang escaped a four-game losing streak, while GS Caltex recorded a five-game losing streak.
