It's rather shocking news. It has been confirmed that KB Insurance's Asian quarter player Mohamed Yaqoob (registered name Yaqoob) has left Korea.

KB Insurance won Woori Card with a set score of 3-1 (25-17, 26-24, 21-25, 25-19) in the men's fourth round of the Jin Air 2025-2026 V-League at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 11th.

The triangular formation played an even role. Andres Villena (registered name Villena) succeeded in her first triple crown of the season with 27 points, including four blocking points, three serve points and 10 rear points. Na Kyung-bok helped Villena with 21 points and Lim Sung-jin with 9 points.

It is the second consecutive win after two consecutive losses, but KB Insurance's acting head coach Ha Hyun-yong's expression was not as bright as ever. After the game, acting coach Ha Hyun-yong said, "I want to be happy, but I can't. Still, the players carried out the operation as planned and the concentration on the ball was good. I want to compliment him for his hard work," he said honestly.

There was also a problem with Jakub in the Asian quarter, who left the country on Tuesday. Jakub, who played in the Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance match on the 7th, the previous game, did not appear at Jangchung Gymnasium on the same day, raising questions. As a result of confirmation, Jakub left for Bahrain two days ago after asking the team and the club for understanding.

Acting head coach Ha Hyun-yong said, "To be honest, Jakub left the country. I haven't been able to come into the game much because of my poor condition, but it was because of housework. I don't know the exact timing, but I've been paying attention to the housework that happened a few weeks ago and I can't tell you the exact thing. He said he would only go home and send it to him," expressing mixed feelings.

According to KB team officials, it was not related to former coach Leonardo Carvalho. There is no promise of when he will return, so KB Insurance is also preparing replacement players.

An official from KB said, "We're not replacing Jakub. The player himself promised to solve it well and come back. However, we are also preparing for the next best option because we don't know when we will return," he explained.

Acting head coach Ha Hyun-yong said, "I haven't received a definite answer that I'll come back. I couldn't even tell him not to go because it was a family affair. Yakub was also very sorry after the Samsung Fire and Marine Insurance match. But just in case, I'm looking for a video (alternative player)."

After two consecutive losses, KB Insurance regained third place with 12 wins and 10 losses (37 points), beating KEPCO (12-9, 34 points).

Acting coach Ha Hyun-yong said, "I found the cause of the losing streak, and the players seemed to be feeling a lot of pressure. I told the players that the results were good only when the process was good, but certainly in the two consecutive wins, they showed a different appearance from the two consecutive wins."

"There is no easy team. As such, I feel that managing the team's condition is important. It's very difficult to control every player. Still, he was able to quickly lose consecutive games to gain experience of winning and find confidence. We will try to show steady performances," he said.
