Jeong Kwan-jang worked hard. He captured Hyundai Engineering & Construction and advanced to the championship game for the first time in 13 years in the club's history. Hyundai Engineering & Construction has unfortunately finished its season.

Jeong Kwan-jang won the third round of the women's playoff of the Dodram 2024-2025 season at Suwon Indoor Gymnasium on the 29th, with a set score of 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-19.25-20) against Hyundai Engineering & Construction.

As a result, Jeong Kwan-jang defeated Hyundai Engineering & Construction with the final 2-1 loss of the playoffs to advance to the championship game and compete for supremacy this season with Heungkuk Life Insurance, which went straight to No. 1 in the regular season. Heungkuk Life is also in the season of 'Last Dance', when Kim Yeon-kyung announced her retirement.




Chung Kwan-jang's advance to the championship match is the first time since the 2011-2012 season, when foreign players Madelaine Montagno and Han Yu-mi were active.

It was literally a battlefield created by 'Injury Ward'. Jeong Kwan-jang faced the bad luck of foreign players Bukirich and middle blocker Park Eun-jin being injured at the end of the regular season at the same time.

Then, ahead of the second round of the playoffs, main setter Yeom Hye-sun's knee pain was relieved, and Jeong Kwan-jang, who won the first round earlier, rested Yeom Hye-sun in the second round. The result was a set-score 0-3 shutdown.




Coach Ko Hee-jin of Jeong Kwan-jang, who met before the game, said of Yeom Hye-sun's condition, `He recovered a little. I'm participating today," he said, looking full of dark clouds.

A situation where swelling and pain remain in the knee, but no more consideration can be given to the player. Yeom Hye-sun told Hyundai Engineering & Construction Director Kang Sung-hyung, "I will send it home today."I played the game with such determination that I felt nervous.

Bukirich is also unable to make a proper jump. Bukirich was in charge of the team's receiving, while using his tall height of 1m98 to look at the empty spot and focus on hitting back-to-back hits. Mega was responsible for most of the attack share. Coach Ko Hee-jin reiterated that "(Mega needs Hye-sun) to do well."

Hyundai Engineering & Construction visited the site with Wipawi on crutches in the Asian quarter, which was out of the season. Wi Pawi remained in Korea until the end of the season due to Hyundai Engineering & Construction's consideration. Wipawi watched the game with a nervous face all the time. Setter Kim Da-in and outside heater Ko Ye-rim, who had a stiff shoulder, all started.

Both teams had nowhere else to back down. The performance was not very good, but it was a desperate effort.

Coach Kang Sung-hyung "Everyone has injuries that they originally had…"I've been treated, but I'm in an uncomfortable state..." but if I lose today, the season is over. There is nothing more to say. We just want to show our strengths."

In the first set, Jeong Kwan-jang took the lead. At 15-15, Ko Ye-rim took the lead with a mistake, but was swayed by Hyundai Engineering & Construction Moma and allowed a 19-21 turnaround again.

However, he miraculously turned the game around by winning four consecutive points at 22-24. Park Eun-jin tied the game with an open attack and a serve ace, and Jung Ho-young and Bukirich finished the set with consecutive blocks.

The second set is Hyundai Engineering & Construction's counterattack. Yang Hyo-jin's fastball and Kim Da-in's consecutive serve ace burst at 8-8 to take the lead. Since then, Moma Yang Hyo-jin and Jung Ji-yoon have scored one after another, shaking the opponent Reevis, widening the gap to 16-10.

At this time, coach Ko Hee-jin's winning move came out. Park Hye-min was put into the new Libero, excluding both the main Libero yellow and backup Libero Choi Hyo-seo from the entry, who came to the scene on this day, but failed to play due to injury. Park Hye-min, who does not have a Libero uniform, played a role while wearing only a blue Libero vest. Jeong Kwan-jang played all the key players in 10-19? 馨?I prepared the next set.

And in the third set, Jeong Kwan-jang's performance, which received Park Hye-min's stable reception, was revived. Mega scored seven points and Bukirich and Jung Ho-young scored four points each, pushing Hyundai Engineering & Construction. Hyundai Engineering & Construction coach Kang Sung-hyung also rested without key players at 10-15.

However, the articles of association, which gained momentum, could not be stopped. Mega and Bukirich blasted the Hyundai Construction Court from the beginning of the fourth set. The gap widened to 10-4 in an instant.

With Mega at the center, Jung Ho-young and Park Eun-jin supported the side, and the score widened to 19-13. Mega showed off its all-round attack power not only from the apogit position, but also from the center rear, the cut-in quick open, and the time difference. Hyundai Engineering & Construction made the final chase with Moma, but it was not enough to turn the game around.

Jeong Kwan-jang celebrated his advance to the championship with four players, including Mega (23 points), Bukirich (14 points, 4 blocks), Park Eun-jin (13 points, 5 blocks) and Jung Ho-young (12 points, 6 blocks), scoring double-digit points. Hyundai Engineering & Construction's Moma (22 points and 3 blocks) Lee Da-hyun and Jung Ji-yoon (11 points and 5 blocks) struggled, but Yang Hyo-jin, who scored only 4 points, was disappointing.
