The men's volleyball team lost to South American powerhouse Argentina in the second Group C match of the 2025 International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) World Championship held in Quezon City, Philippines on the 16th, with a set score of 1-3 (22-25, 25-23, 21-25, 18-25). As a result, the Korean national team, which lost 0-3 against France on the 14th, was confirmed to be eliminated regardless of the result of the remaining Finland match with two consecutive losses. Argentina won two consecutive games and confirmed its advance to the round of 16. South Korea is scheduled to play Finland in the last three rounds of the group stage on the 18th.
The men's volleyball team, ranked 27th in the world, had an early neck-and-neck race with Argentina, ranked 9th in the world, but the wall of powerhouse was high. Both height and strength were pushed, and the last hindsight was lacking. South Korea, which gave up the first point with consecutive runs in the last minute after a neck-and-neck race in the first set, scored its first point with a fierce attack in the second set. However, he failed to prevent the loss by losing consecutive points in the third and fourth sets.
The national team led the attack by combining 32 points with Heo Soo-bong scoring 17 points and Lim Dong-hyuk scoring 15 points, but it was not enough to prevent the opponent's wave offensive. Unfortunately, he failed to advance to the round of 16 at the World Championship and will return home after the match against Finland.
