Coach Kim Ho-chul officially expressed his resignation after losing 0-3 to Hyundai Engineering & Construction in the women's division of Jin Air 2025-2026 V-League at Hwaseong Indoor Gymnasium on the 22nd.
It was his seventh consecutive loss. Coach Kim Ho-cheol made up his mind to retire after losing the match against the Korea Expressway Corporation (0-3) on Sunday. Regardless of the result, the modern game was the last one.
Coach Kim Ho-chul said, `I really did my best. Our players worked hard, too. Anyway, there was no stable setter, so it was not enough at the moment when I had to make a decision. I'll stop talking about the game."
IBK Industrial Bank of Korea was mentioned as a favorite. It topped the KOVO Cup in September. On the opening media day, five of the seven team head coaches pointed out IBK Industrial Bank as the favorite to win.
However, it was reduced to an injured ward. 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. If the main setter falls out, no matter how strong the team is, it will inevitably falter.
Coach Kim Ho-chul said, "In my career, IBK Industrial Bank was the first female team. He had previously coached only the men's team. In December 2021, he entered the women's division by taking office as the head of IBK Industrial Bank. It failed to lead IBK Industrial Bank to spring volleyball.
Coach Kim Ho-chul said, `Our players went through a difficult process as they continued to lose consecutive games. The volleyball team worked hard and helped me a lot. thank the club's staff. I am especially sorry for not keeping my promise to volleyball fans. I think it's until today. I'll put it down here and cheer hard outside."
After contemplating for a while about how he felt about leading the women's team, he slightly expressed his mental distress, saying, "It's hard for women's volleyball." Even so, "I won't say anything else today. I wanted to show the fans the reviving IBK. I tried so hard but I couldn't keep my promise," he repeatedly apologized.
