OK Savings Bank won set score 3-1 (25-15, 25-22, 16-25, 25-22), against Hyundai Capital in the opening match of the men's professional volleyball tournament at the 2025 Yeosu-NH Nonghyup Cup at Jinnam Indoor Gymnasium in Yeosu on the 13th.
The day before the tournament, the World Volleyball Federation recommended that foreign players not be allowed to play, and only domestic players were allowed to play without foreigners and Asian quarters. In particular, teams with players from the national team competing in the world championships were forced to increase the burden.
Hyundai Capital coach Philip Blanc, who prepared for this cup with Leo and Bayarsaihan at the center, said, `Lee Si-woo cannot play in this tournament due to his injury. If there are more injured players among the current players, it will not be easy to play.
OK Savings Bank coach Shin Young-chul said, "After spending time checking domestic players rather than foreign players in this competition, it seems that they are not affected by the ban on foreign players.
And the results also showed the same.
OK Savings Bank was overwhelmed from the first set. He led from the beginning with various performances by domestic players such as Song Hee-chae (5 points), Jeon Kwang-in (4 points), Cha Ji-hwan and Lee Min-kyu (3 points above), and won by 10 points. In particular, four serve aces came out, showing a different team color.
