"Give up today's game for the next season? That's not something a professional should do."

This year, IBK lost 1 win and 10 losses. There is no bottom in the quagmire that IBK Industrial Bank has fallen into.

At the end of the third round, he was in fourth place, 31 points behind the third-place Jeong Kwan-jang (33 points at the time). Spring volleyball was, of course, a position where you could dream of more than that.

However, it crashed at the start of 2025. Following all six losses in the fourth round, the game is losing only one win to Pepper Savings Bank in the fifth round. Although he is still in fourth place, he has 37 points, and the difference with Jeong Kwan-jang (55 points) is now insurmountable.

Industrial Bank of Korea will play a road construction match in the fifth round of the Dodram V League 2024-2025 season at Hwaseong Gymnasium on the 20th.

Despite the despair, the veteran was not discouraged. "I'm preparing hard for every game. The players are also motivated and working hard, but it's hard to see them in the stadium. It seems to be full of anxiety, "What if I lose again?"All you can do as a director is to change the atmosphere and boost your confidence,' he said.

Hwang Min-kyung, who suffered a thumb injury, will focus only on receiving and digging at the back. Other teams are on the rise and breathing together toward the end of the season, but only IBK is experiencing the basement under the floor.

Coach Kim Ho-chul said, `Why don't you use a rookie setter for next season?' It's not something that should be done to the fans by my standards. It's something to do in the offseason, and I have players who will do their best now, but I can't give up the game in front of me just because I can't go to spring volleyball.

In reality, the situation has become more difficult as Chen Shintong has left due to injury. Coach Kim Ho-chul said "(Kim) Ha-kyung has to work hard with motivation. "Didn't he seize this far-off opportunity again?" "He has to show that he can lead this team."," he reiterated.
