Shutout games for both men and women in the V League came out for the first time in a long time.

Jeong Kwan-jang lost to Heungkuk Life Insurance with a set score of 0-3 (19-25, 13-25, 20-25) in the fourth round of the women's league of Jin Air 2025-2026 at Chungmu Gymnasium in Daejeon on the 4th.

As a result, Jeong Kwan-jang failed to finish last while maintaining a two-point gap with sixth-ranked Pepper Savings Bank (7-12, 20 points) with 6 wins and 14 losses (18 points). On the other hand, Heungkuk Life Insurance, ranked third with 10 wins and 10 losses (33 points), chasing second-place Hyundai Engineering & Construction (13-7, 38 points) by five points, igniting a competition for the lead.

It was a complete defeat that failed to take advantage of the merits of the Jeonggwanjang. It fell to 3 to 7 in blocking points and 36% to 45% in attack success rate, and the number of mistakes was rather high, 16 to 9. I couldn't find the performance of the previous game. Strikers were unable to use their strength as the receiving line was shaken and the toss of the two sets, Choi Seo-hyun and Yeom Hye-sun, was also unstable. Elisa Zanete (registered name Zanete) scored 9 points and Park Hye-min scored 7 points, but the attack success rate was all below 27%. Only Jamyanpurep Enkh (21, registered name Inku City), well known as "Kim Yeon-kyung's student," struggled with 16 points, the most points in the team.

Heungkuk Life stood out with another "Kim Yeon-kyung student" setter Lee Na-yeon's stable toss. Kim Dae-eun and Rebecca Lashem (registered Rebecca) took 60% of the attack share and bombed the court of the articles of association by scoring 17 and 19 points, respectively.

In the first set, it was actually a match. The initial trend was the articles of association. While Heungkuk Life's hands and feet were out of sync, Park Hye-min's serve ace, Incusi, Jung Ho-young, and Zanete scored consecutive points, leading Jeong Kwan-jang 11-7. However, Heungkuk Life also scored four consecutive points at 10-14 to balance it. Heungkuk Life reached 20 points first as Rebecca's hard hit hit Jung Ho-young's hand following Kim Dae-eun's time difference and Peach's blocked score.

Since then, Jeong Kwan-jang's attacks have missed one after another when Kim Yeon-soo was substituted for the 21-19 lead. Kim Yeon-soo did not miss the opportunity and finished the first set with a serve ace.

In the second set, Jeong Kwan-jang continued to be disappointed. He gave the mood by allowing five points down from 10-10. Incusi hit the open ball well to prevent consecutive runs, but Heungkuk Life again scored 20 points as Peach's serve ace. Lee Da-hyun brought the second set to Heungkuk Life by lightly putting the ball that Incusi received into the empty place.

Heungkuk Life Insurance ended the game easily as Rebecca revived in the third set. Rebekah brought the mood to a 12-11 lead with a serve ace and even a back-attack. Since then, Heungkuk Life Insurance has not lost its lead, and Jung Yoon-joo scored and completed the shutdown victory.

Earlier on the same day, in the men's game held at Gyeyang Gymnasium in Incheon, Korean Air was completely defeated by Hyundai Capital 0-3 (17-25, 14-25, 18-25).

Korean Air, which recently suffered injuries to two outside heaters, Jung Ji-seok and Lim Jae-young, failed to fill their gaps. Hyundai Capital is on the verge of retaking the lead, with Huh Soo-bong and Shin Ho-jin scoring 14 points each, and Leonardo Leiva (registered name Leo) and Bayarsaihan Vatsu (registered name Bayarsaihan) scoring 11 points each.

Korean Air, which lost its first consecutive game of the season, only had 41 points (14 wins and 5 losses). On the other hand, Hyundai Capital won two consecutive games and closed the gap with the leader Korean Air with 38 points (12-7) to three points.
