If KEPCO advances to spring volleyball as it is, it will remain the best choice. Moussawel Khan (21, registered name Moussawel), an Asian quarter player from Pakistan, is leading Korea Electric Power Corp.'s second-half leap forward.
KEPCO beat Woori Card with a set score of 3-1 (26-24, 31-33, 25-23, 25-17) in the fifth round of the regular league of Jin Air 2025-2026 V-League at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 2nd.
Korea Electric Power Corporation, which earned three points, trailed second-place Korean Air (16-8, 47 points) by four points with 15 wins and 11 losses (43 points).
On the same day, foreign ace Sharon Benon Evans (registered name Benon) led KEPCO with an explosive score. He bombed Woori Card Court with 34 points, the most in both teams.
The role of both wings could not be ignored. Kim Jung-ho scored 17 points, including three serve aces, even though ankle pain remained, and Musawel scored double-digit points by catching as many as four blocking points. As Kim Jung-ho and Musawel showed even performances, Benon also maintained his strength and was able to show destructive power throughout the fourth set.
After the game, head coach Kwon Young-min said, "Ha Seung-woo plays his part. As Moussa-well comes in, the fastball and side-out are revived, and the number of balls being concentrated on Benon is decreasing, and it is going in a good flow."
In particular, Musawel's joining is adding momentum to KEPCO. Initially, KEPCO selected Eddy Zargacha (registered name Eddie) from Mongolia, who played for Samsung Fire and Marine Insurance two seasons ago, in the Asian quarter. However, Eddie was replaced in the middle of a performance in which he scored 33 points in 35 sets in 12 games, failing to score an average of one point per set.
Expectations for Musawel were not very high either. Based on the Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO), he was 198cm tall and weighed 87kg, which was not a big height for a foreign middle blocker, and there was no proven performance in the upper leagues.
However, he made up for the shortcomings with long flight time and high jump power compared to his height. He has 0.643 blocks per game, keeping the center with Shin Young-seok, creating KEPCO that does not lose easily.
Since Musawel made his debut against OK Savings Bank on Jan. 6, KEPCO has not won many games, with four wins and three losses in seven games, but it is solidifying its third place with 13 points.
The head coach also seems to be satisfied with the mature performance of the dog. Coach Kwon Young-min said, "Mousa Well is sincere and quick-witted. He is short, but he is good at fastball because of his long flying time. "I'm young, so serving and fighting are okay, and I'm helping the team a lot," he praised.
He continued, "I'm not good at English, but I have no problem with communication at all. It goes well with Benon, too, but I think they have different personalities. Benon is well-traveled outside, but Musawel seems to be mostly staying in his accommodation except when exercising, and not walking around very much," he said with a smile.
