Hyundai Capital captain Huh Soo-bong (26) couldn't just smile even though he led his team to victory by achieving a triple crown. Hyundai Capital won the third round match against Korean Air (25-16, 25-19, 25-21) in the men's team of Dodram 2024-2025 V-League at Cheonan Yu Gwan-soon Gymnasium on the 25th. Hyundai Capital (43 points), which ranks first, has established a leading solo system by beating second-ranked Korean Air (35 points) by 8 points.
Huh Soo-bong's attack did not work out well on the day. He scored only 7 points and had a 33.33% attack success rate. Instead, he took the lead in shaking the opponent by recording three blocks and three serve aces. Heo Soo-bong added four rear attacks to achieve a triple crown and was responsible for 13 points. It was the second highest score in the team after Leo (19 points).
Outside heater Heo Soo-bong started as an apogee spiker on the day. Shin Feng was not in normal condition due to his injury, but Heo Soo-bong shared his luggage.
Heo Soo-bong did not have much difficulty changing the position. I think I was sluggish in the attack today (25th) because the timing of the attack was a little different. But since I have my team members, if it helps the team in blocking, defense, or serving, I thought I should play more boldly because the players are doing well" he said.
Hyundai Capital overwhelmed Korean Air with serves and blocks throughout the game, but was dragged to 0-6 at the beginning of the third set when it did not receive a serve from an opponent setter. It was the most frustrating moment of the day that Heo Soo-bong picked, as he managed to break the flow due to Han's serve mistake. Heo Soo-bong, who started serve at 1-6, made a big contribution to return to 6-6 origin. The serve ace recorded two, but he hit a huge serve in a row so that Leo handled the ball, which was immediately sent to Hyundai Capital Court due to the shaking of Korean Air's reception, with two open attacks.

Hyundai Capital coach Philip Blanc praised Huh's responsibility. Director Blanc said "It was an amazing performance. It was precarious at the beginning of the third set as the side-out did not go well, and thanks to Heo Soo-bong's leadership on the court, the players seem to have come back on track. He was perfect as a captain" he raised his thumb.
Foreign player Leo is also "Heo Soo-bong is a very reliable and reliable player. Heo Soo-bong was one of the players who gave me a hard time when I played on the court opposite Hyundai Capital in the past, and one of the players who hindered me from winning the game. Now he is a reliable and reliable player who played together." Leo played for OK Financial Group from the 2021-2022 season to the last season before moving to Hyundai Capital this season.
Regarding the meaning of achieving triple crowns despite the difficulty of attack, Heo Soo-bong said, "Failing an attack does not discourage you. He is playing with the idea of helping in other areas. I don't think it's bad if you don't hit a lot of balls. It's because other players are doing so well. I think I can help to win," he said calmly.
The goal of leading Hyundai Capital players is to prevent Korean Air from winning the five-year losing streak. Korean Air won the integrated championship for four consecutive years until last season, marking the first time in V-League history. Hyundai Capital has been swallowing regret while watching Korean Air's festival on the other court.
Heo said "We went to the championship game and lost every time (to Korean Air). My opponent laughed and we cried, and when I watched him win on the other side of the court, I wanted to take the lead but I was also angry. I have a lot in our players' hearts, and I think there's a mindset that I have to win this year unconditionally"I hoped that the current trend would continue until the end of the season.
