Hyundai Capital, the No. 1 player in this season's relative defeat, and Woori Card's volleyball team, which faces a difficult match, faced another bad news. Veteran setter and captain Lee Seung-won (33) will miss the event due to the flu.

Park Chul-woo, acting manager of Woori Card, said ahead of the home game against Hyundai Capital in the fifth round of the regular league of Jin Air 2025-2026 V-League at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 6th, "Han Tae-joon will be the starting setter." Lee Seung-won recently took a break due to a flu test. Lee Yoo-bin is preparing, but I believe Han Tae-joon will do well. It was also good during training," he said.

Woori Card, which has 11 wins and 15 losses (32 points) as of pregame, remains sixth in the league. The possibility of spring volleyball has become slim due to a 7-point gap with the fifth-ranked OK Savings Bank and 11 points gap with the third-ranked KEPCO.

Lee Seung-won changes the flow of the game with seasoned plays whenever the main setter Han Tae-joon is shaken. However, as Lee Seung-won was absent, Han Tae-joon's shoulders became heavier.

In such a situation, Hyundai Capital, the No. 1 player, is a strong opponent. They met four times this season, lost all of them, and failed to earn a point.

Acting head coach Park Chul-woo said, "If we come to the fifth round, we know each other too well. The most important thing is the atmosphere of the team. There was not much time to prepare, so I focused on calmly strengthening the inner room. "I think Hyundai Capital should unconditionally shake the receiving with its serve," he replied.

The roles of the chief guns Rafael Araujo (registered name Araujo) and Ali Hagpast (registered name Ali) are also important. The two ruined the game by failing to calm their excitement in the previous game against KEPCO.

In response, acting coach Park Chul-woo said, "I didn't talk about it as soon as the game was over. I hope it doesn't happen two days later, he said. I understand it personally, but he said we should refrain from doing that for the club and the fans. Ali also took it positively," he said.

Even Hyundai Capital cannot let its guard down. It is currently trailing second-place Korean Air by one point, so it is important to take three points from Woori Card.

Hyundai Capital coach Philip Blanc said with a smile, "I hope I can take three points today," and added, "I remember winning the first set with difficulty in the last game. The side-out was not consistent, but I will make sure to come out consistently," he stressed.

Main catcher Heo Soo-bong is not in normal condition due to a back injury. Lim Sung-ha will compete in Libero. Manager Blanc said, "Heo Soo-bong is getting better little by little. "I'm improving my condition by playing the program with the trainer," he said. "I'm currently the best defensive player on our roster, so I'll keep going."

Korean Air's pursuit said, "We are No. 1 right now, but since Korean Air is following us to the bottom of our chin, we need to focus on what we should do every game."
