"So that I can't make a congratulatory shot in the sky..." Dictitious Hyundai Capital Commitments to Reality [the scene of Cheonan]

The men's professional volleyball championship match (Champ match, 3 wins out of 5 games) will eventually go "to the end." Hyundai Capital, which had been on the brink of losing two consecutive games, won all two consecutive home games with a complete shutdown victory, turning the game to square one. The "will" that Hyundai Capital players strengthened after suffering a bitter loss due to a dubious decision in the second game eventually became a reality.

Hyundai Capital defeated Korean Air 3-0 (25-23, 25-25, 31-29) in Game 4 of the Jin Air 2025-2026 Professional Volleyball V-League Men's Championship held at Cheonan Yoo Gwan-soon Gymnasium on the 8th. It is the second consecutive 3-0 shutdown since two days ago. As a result, the two teams tied at 2-2 against the Champs. At 7 p.m. on the 10th, the Incheon Gyeyang Gymnasium will play the last single game where the championship is at stake.

Hyundai Capital, which lost both the first and second games, brought the game to square one. Hyundai Capital was pushed to the brink after losing 2-3 after a close full-set match in both the showdowns held at Gyeyang Gymnasium in Incheon on the 2nd and 4th. In the past championships, "100%" of the winning teams in the first and second games reached the top. He was already in a tight race against Woori Card in the playoff (PO) for two consecutive full-set games, so he was also in a state of great physical burden.

However, Hyundai Capital's "angry" was caused by the dubious decision in the match point situation of the fifth set in the second round of the championship. Leo's serve seemed to be slightly on the sideline, but he failed to close the game as he was ruled out, and Hyundai Capital eventually lost two consecutive games after a close deuce match. Since then, Hyundai Capital has even raised objections to the decision, but the Korean Volleyball Federation held a post-reading and appeal review committee and read it as "correct reading." Since "opposite" decisions came out several times in almost the same scene, not only coach Philip Blanc but also Hyundai Capital players were forced to be enraged.

The anger motivated Hyundai Capital. Now, they fail to win even if they lose one game, and the 3rd and 4th games scheduled on their home turf. Hyundai Capital players had a "courage" as they moved to Cheonan after losing the second game. Hwang Seung-bin said, "As I returned to Cheonan, everyone strengthened their will. "Let's make sure (Korean Air) doesn't set off a celebration in Cheonan, so let's not let that happen in my house," he said. The coach also asked me to melt it into the stadium with anger."

And Hyundai Capital, which returned to its home turf, became a completely different team. Following Game 3, Game 4 ended the game with a complete shutdown victory. As Hyundai Capital players vowed, the celebration of Korean Air's victory at Cheonan Yoo Gwan-soon Gymnasium did not explode in the end. Rather, after losing the 1st and 2nd games, the atmosphere was completely changed by winning the 3rd and 4th games, preparing for the last 5th games. Hwang Seung-bin smiled, saying, "It was a happy day to have those feelings as a result."

Even though it could have been greatly shaken by the controversy over the decision, Hyundai Capital has raised its confidence to the fullest and is on the road for Game 5. The complete shutdown of two consecutive games even erased the physical burden of playing a full set for four consecutive games from the last PO to the first and second games against the Champs. Heo Soo-bong said, "I think there is less burden of physical strength and I think I'm in good condition because I play three sets after five sets," adding, "I feel good because the players' performance is improving and the desire to win comes from their performance." "There is only one last game left to decorate the drama of winning the come-from-behind victory," he said with confidence.
