In the third episode of MBC entertainment program 「"New Director Kim Yeon-koung" aired on the 12th, director Kim Yeon-koung's 『Pilseung Wonder Dogs" was defeated by 'IBK Industrial Bank Altos Volleyball Team" with a set score of 1:3, realizing the high wall of the professional.
Earlier, the must-win Wonder Dogs lost the first set to IBK 17-25. The Wonder Dogs, who were also dragged into the second set, succeeded in turning the tables with Pyo Seung-joo's performance and civilization's serve ace.
In the second half of the second set, the must-win Wonder Dogs began to shake rapidly. From the failure of blocking to the failure of the attack, the lead was transferred to the other side. For the Wonder Dogs, who were in crisis with a score of 20 to 24, head coach Kim Yeon-kyung intentionally applied for a video review, gaining time and using a psychological battle to break the opponent's flow.
In the following game, the Wonder Dogs chased Altos to the bottom of their chin with Baek Chae-rim's sharp attack and civilization's serve ace. After that, the two players blocked the run with a concentrated super dig, and the opponent's mistake was added to it, becoming a deuce at 24:24. The Wonder Dogs, who returned to square one, recorded 26:28 with Yoon Young-in's serve ace and captain Pyo Seung-joo's powerful walk-off spike to grab the second set.
The key player in the third set was Yoon Young-in. At the beginning of the set, the Wonder Dogs were aggressive but were blocked by IBK's solid defense. Coach Kim Yeon-kyung did not mind this and ordered an aggressive attack, raising Wonder Dogs' fighting spirit. Coach Kim hinted at using Yoon Young-in to setter Lee Na-yeon, and Yoon Young-in succeeded in scoring by repaying that belief. However, the Wonder Dogs' defensive line collapsed due to IBK's sharp attack, eventually giving up three sets.
In the fourth set, the two teams' invisible war of nerves exploded. As the saying goes, `This is an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for a pass paint battle. Munhwa, who succeeded in two serve aces in the second set, awakened Wonder Dogs' fighting spirit with another serve aces. In addition, Lee Jin, who faces his former team IBK, played with more determination than anyone else, and helped the team score with a dig that threw itself and a toss that fits the striker's taste. The combination of Lee Jin and Yoon Young-in established itself as a solid scoring formula for the Wonder Dogs in the fourth set.
Thanks to Lee Jin's performance, the Wonder Dogs continued a fierce mega rally, but eventually lost points. Wonder Dogs, who swallowed the bitterness of their first defeat by failing to overturn the fourth set due to the difference in offense that is not easily narrowed down. The loss, which cannot be prevented even by fighting spirit, left a deep regret not only for Wonder Dogs but also for viewers who were watching the broadcast.
