Unexpected one-sided defeat, Hyundai Engineering & Construction coach Kang Sung-hyung's face was red.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction was completely defeated by a set score of 0-3 in the match against Pepper Savings Bank in the V-League in the 2025-2026 season of Jin Air at Pepper Stadium in Gwangju on the 30th.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction's first loss this season, which had its second consecutive opening win, was marred by humiliation and regret. He became the victim of the first shutdown game in 11 V-League games this year.




Main guns Kari and Jung Ji-yoon were too sluggish, and Yang Hyo-jin and Kim Hee-jin's middle blockers' movements were not good either. Jastis and Na Hyun-soo worked hard, but it was hard to win a set. Even after a close game in every set, he was hampered by his lack of determination in the clutch situation after 20 points.

Pepper Savings Bank shows Park Jung-ah and Shimamura popping a shot whenever necessary, with Park Eun-seo leading the team's attack all the time. On the other hand, Hyundai Engineering & Construction repeatedly allowed the reversal after a frustrating trend in which neither the central attack nor both wings could be solved as desired.

After the game, coach Kang Sung-hyung entered the interview room with a red face. When I asked for a general review of the game, I lost the players' movements. Our players were too slow" gave a scathing rebuke.




"The overall flowchart and the effective blocking of the middle gin were also good opponents." In particular, it was not easy for our middlemen to block or attack well, so it was not easy to solve the game with only two wing attacks."

Head coach Kang Sung-hyung said "The opponent did much better in the play we had to play. While the opponent's serve was good, our high-ball processing had a very low success rateThere were a few "go-bi"s, but I thought I could play a good game if I passed it, but I couldn't" raised his voice.

In particular, Kari's overall economic trend was twisted as he was so sluggish on the day. Not to mention being a troubleshooter, he couldn't bear the usual burden of attack. Na Hyun-soo, who played as a substitute for Apogit, performed his own performance, but it was not enough.




In particular, if Na Hyun-soo prepares to replace the apogit, it will be difficult to reinforce the middle. Depending on whether Kari is awake or not, this is the part that can hold him back throughout this season.

Director Kang Sung-hyung said, `There will often be this aspect in the future, but the basic success rate should come out…I have a lot to think about," he sighed.
