The first two sets were a seesaw game with one-point differences. Kim Yeon-koung blocked Mega's attack and clenched her fist, roaring in triumph.

With their pride wounded, Mega attempted to attack with all their might once again in front of Kim Yeon-koung, but was blocked again.

After being blocked even by Fitzi, Mega's expression showed despair as if the game was not going their way.

As Mega fell into a slump and the score gap widened, Heungkuk Life Insurance even showed the luxury of resting their ace, Kim Yeon-koung.

With her energy conserved, Kim Yeon-koung soared in front of Mega.

With a slight change in direction to induce a touch-out from Mega, head coach Ko Hee-jin couldn't help but smile in disbelief.

In the crucial final moments of the fourth set, Kim Yeon-koung showcased her ace instincts with 24 points, including four consecutive points, leading Heungkuk Life Insurance to victory over Jung Kwan Jang and continuing their five-game winning streak.

Heungkuk Life Insurance, having won all consecutive matches against Jung Kwan Jang, widened the point gap with second-place Hyundai Construction to eight points, maintaining their lead.
