"I was complacent. There needs to be a rebuke."

Coach Ko Hee-jin, Jeong Kwan-jang, looked dark even after winning his first win of the season. The result ended in victory anyway, but the process was so bad. I missed a game that could have won three points. It was a relief if we were lucky to secure two points in a crisis where we could not win any points along with the opening two consecutive losses.

Jeong Kwan-jang beat GS Caltex by a score of 3-2 (25-18, 22-25, 19-25, 25-22, 15-11) in the first round match of the 「Jin Air 2025-2026 Season V-League」 at Chungmu Gymnasium in Daejeon on the 23rd. Jeong Kwan-jang recorded one win and one loss in the season.

Jeong Kwan-jang's main catcher Janette played 30 points, including three blocks and one serve. Lee Sun-woo added 17 points and Jung Ho-young added 13 points.

It was painful to give up the flow that was far ahead of the second set. In 3-2 Lee Sun-woo's sub-time, he scored as many as six points and went on a 9-2 run. Lee Sun-woo completely raised the atmosphere of Jeong Kwan-jang by bursting three consecutive serve aces. In the 10-3 game, Jung Ho-young shook GS Caltex with a serve and ran to 13-3.

However, while leading 18-10, Kim Mi-yeon lost seven points during sub-time, making it 18-17. In 21-19, Silva's fourth consecutive attack was failed to prevent it from being overturned 21-23, and in 22-24, Park Hye-min was blocked by GS Caltex Choi Yoo-rim's wall, ending the set 22-25.

Jeong Kwan-jang, who lost the second set, was on the verge of a come-from-behind defeat as he lost the third set. From the fourth set, Janette and Lee Sun-woo revived and struggled to raise the atmosphere and finally settled the situation.

Coach Koh said "It was a bit of a difficult game. I went to a game that was easy to go to. You have to reflect on these things. Since I'm the director, I have to reflect on myself first. There are 34 games left this season, and they shouldn't come out anymore. "I think we need to reflect on ourselves, wake up, and reprimand." he said with a heavy expression.

Regarding the second set, coach Ko said, "I was complacent. Because the opponent pushed us, we completely lost our rhythm there. There should be no more games like that. I have to reflect on that," he said emphatically.

The players accepted Ko's rebuke.

You had a lot of emotional ups and downs in the second set. In the first set, the connection was good, and the players had a good bond. "The problem was that I couldn't concentrate and couldn't control my emotions in the second set," he said, blaming himself "But he trusts his team members." We will be able to develop."

Lee Sun-woo has to follow the winning atmosphere and win the set when he is winning. I'm constantly saying let's manage the score during meetings. Even if there is a difference in scores, it is not easy to overcome the anxiety that follows. So, I think we need to trust each other a little more and think that we can do the side-out quickly even if we follow one point," he said emphatically.
