Did I lose too much energy in the Hyundai Capital match.

KB Insurance suffered a blow to Korea Electric Power Corp. He failed to win a set and suffered a shock defeat.

KB Insurance was completely defeated by a set score of 0-3 (23-25, 26-28, 19-25) in the second round match against KEPCO in the 2025-2026 Jin Air V-League at Kyungmin University Gymnasium in Uijeongbu on the 2nd. KB Insurance failed to catch up with the leader Korean Air due to the loss. On the contrary, KEPCO jumped from fifth place to third place at once with 6 wins and 5 losses and 17 points.




KB Insurance is in an advantageous position in terms of power and ranking. KB Insurance, ranked second, lost consecutive games due to fierce competition with Korean Air, but succeeded in rebounding by winning the match against Hyundai Capital 3 to 2. The rise was likely to be followed by KEPCO.

But there were variables. Physical stamina. In the match against Hyundai Capital, they had a warlike full set battle and only took two days off. And I had to play. KEPCO had enough time to rest because the previous game was on the 28th.

Before the game, KB Insurance manager Carvalho "We had a tough game against Hyundai Capital, and there was no time to rest. The schedule is tight. He said, "I focused on recovery and training within the given time" and plans to run the team by rotating the rotation. That's the right choice for the team." In fact, coach Carvalho rarely let Lim Sung-jin play in the first and second sets. I made an outside heater line with Na Kyung-bok and Yakub.




Was it the aftermath of the Hyundai Capital match. On this day, KB Insurance players were heavy. Korea Electric Power Corporation did well, but a mistake came out of a decisive chance. Villena, who has a bad knee, was also not in 100% condition. On the contrary, the opponent's foreign player Benon hit a terrible ball.

KEPCO took the first set. In the 19-18 KEPCO lead situation, Villena and Jakub made consecutive mistakes, widening the gap. In the second set, Korea Electric Power Corp. was leading, but KB Insurance took a close game of deuce. However, in the last chance, Jakub lost the set as he suffered a decisive mistake and even blocked the last attack.

The variable during the game was Benon. Until the second set, he was clearly tired of hitting too many balls. KB Insurance took the lead for the first time as Bennon shook in the third set. But the joy is also brief. KEPCO turned the game around. KB Insurance players didn't fall off their feet. There have been a series of mistakes that would not normally be done. There were too many mistakes on the serve. In the last minute of the game, he also self-destructed due to a serve mistake. 13-11 KEPCO Lead Situation Shin Young-seok's serve ace burst and the game actually flowed toward KEPCO. In the 23-18 situation, Kim Jung-ho's serve ace was a winning shot. Benon scored 19 points, the most in both teams, in the midst of hard work, giving the team a valuable win.




Ahead of the match, KEPCO head coach Kwon Young-min emphasized to the players that they should win one game each against Korean Air, KB Insurance and Hyundai Capital (which are classified as strong teams) within the second round. Hyundai Capital caught it, and if they beat KB Insurance, the players will have confidence from the third round, but they won a cool victory over KB Insurance. What's left is a victory in the Korean Air match.
