IBK Industrial Bank, which was considered the 'champion candidate' before the season, fell into a quagmire for seven consecutive losses.

IBK Industrial Bank of Korea was completely defeated by Hyundai Engineering & Construction by 0-3 (22-25, 21-25, 24-26) in the second round of the Jin Air V-League 2025-2026 Women's Division at Hwaseong Indoor Gymnasium on the 22nd. Hyundai Engineering & Construction has escaped four straight losses. IBK Industrial Bank of Korea lost seven games after winning its second game against Pepper Savings Bank after losing the opening game.

It's an unexpected development. IBK Industrial Bank of Korea was classified as the winner. She won the KOVO Cup in September. In the media day ahead of the opening, five of the seven team head coaches pointed to IBK Industrial Bank as the favorite to win.

However, he was helpless in front of his injury. Main striker Lee So-young was out for the season after deciding to have shoulder surgery. Main setter Kim Ha-kyung also injured her ankle.

Ahead of the game, IBK Industrial Bank coach Kim Ho-chul highly praised the players' fighting spirit.

Coach Kim Ho-chul said, `The players are motivated to win, but the rhythm doesn't match on the court. Overall, it's down, but the players will do their best to play."

Coach Kim expected Yuk Seo-young and Kinkela to pioneer a way out.

Coach Kim said, `We need one of the two to break through to somehow solve the game. I did a lot of that training. Won't one of them work out?"
