With the defeat, Jeong Kwan-jang's defeat in consecutive games since the match against Heungkuk Life Insurance on the 4th of last month increased to 11 games. It is the most consecutive losing streak in the season.

Jeong Kwan-jang was pushed into a corner by giving up the first and second sets one after another, but he won the fourth set following the third set, leading the game to the fifth set.

However, he failed to continue his steep rise and ended up with a somewhat lethargic performance in the fifth set, eventually giving up 5-15 to lower his head again.

On this day, Jung Kwan-jang helped Janete with 26 points and Park Yeoreum and Park Eun-jin with 13 points and 12 points, respectively, but he swallowed his disappointment in the concentration of the last five sets.

In the men's match held earlier, Korean Air won 3-0 (25-20, 25-20, 25-18) shutout victory over OK Savings Bank.

Russell was responsible for 20 points, the most by both teams, and Eden, who started for the first time since his V-League debut, accumulated 13 points, including one block and one serve ace. Jung Ji-seok also scored 13 points with four blocks and three serve aces, but failed to achieve the triple crown by succeeding only one rear attack.
