Jeong Kwan-jang of women's professional volleyball grasped the probability of '100%'. In the first round of the playoffs, he overpowered Hyundai Engineering & Construction and came close to the championship game. In the women's V-League, there has never been a case in history where the winning team in the first round of the playoffs did not reach the championship game. In the championship game, 'Kim Yeon-kyung's Heungkuk Life' is waiting for first place in the regular season.

Jeong Kwan-jang defeated Hyundai Engineering & Construction by a set score of 3-0 (26-24, 25-23, 25-19) in the first round of the women's playoff of the Dodram 2024-2025 V-League at Suwon Gymnasium on the 25th. Sharp serve like an awl came out at every match, shaking Hyundai Engineering & Construction.

The key to the day was whether Jung Kwan-jang's main gun Bukirich and middle blocker Park Eun-jin would participate. Bukrich and Park Eun-jin injured their ankles side by side in late February. Since then, he has focused on rehabilitation and sought to return to the playoffs. The two eventually joined the team's training dramatically the day before the game.

Coach Ko Hee-jin said before the game that he was okay in the training part. The players themselves said they were okay and said they would fight, so thank you. Because I trained for a day, my condition or sense of play is not 100%, but just the fact that the two players are on the court can help my teammatesexpected "

Jeong Kwan-jang took the lead in the first set. He maintained his concentration well while playing a close game of deuce. At 23-23, Mega blew up a spike serve ace to boost the mood. At 25-24, Pyo Seung-joo's serve was tricky. Hyundai Engineering & Construction's receiving was shaken and the right to attack was handed over. Bukirich won the set point with a clean open attack.

The second set was similar. With the seesaw game continuing within two points, Jeong Kwan-jang was persistent until the last minute. When Jeong Kwan-jang ran away, Hyundai Engineering & Construction immediately caught up. It was Jung Ho-young's serve that shook off Hyundai Engineering & Construction's pursuit. In 24-23, it was Jeong Kwan-jang's turn to serve, and if it was a loss, it was another deuce. However, Jung Ho-young's serve fell sharply into the empty space. Hyundai Engineering & Construction Ko Ye-rim managed to get the reception. Since then, the toss has continued to be unstable. Moma attempted an unreasonable attack and was out.

The third set ended blandly. Jeong Kwan-jang, who took the lead, easily broke down Hyundai Engineering & Construction. After Hyundai Engineering & Construction's mistake at 21-18, Park Hye-min sealed it with a serve ace. At 23-18, Jung Ho-young blocked the ball, ensuring victory.

Meanwhile, all the winning teams in the first round of the women's playoff in the past 18th (2019-2020 season, 2021-2022 season, not held due to COVID-19) advanced to the championship game. The third-place team's 'Upset' was six times. For the men's team, the winning team of the first leg advanced to the championship game with 89.4% (17/19).
