From the first set, deuce's bloodshed was unfolded. South Korea, which led early in the set, faced a fierce chase from Canada. However, at the last minute, Yuk Seo-young took the lead by winning a touchout score like a thousand gold. In the second set, Kang So-hwi scored seven points, and Lee Da-hyun helped with five points, including two blocks, to win the second set.

However, he lost to Canada in three or four sets in a row. The pain of the last VNL, which gave up points due to chronic lack of physical strength, seemed to come to mind one after another.

However, South Korea recovered its concentration in the fifth set, and Kang So-hwi's sharp spike hit 14-13 to win. The players roared and went wild, hugging each other hotly.

The goal of the Korean national team, led by Fernando Morales, is to remain in the VNL. This requires two wins. The national team will play the second game of the second week against Belgium (15th in the world) on the 20th.
