It was a game against the strongest No. 1 Hyundai Capital, but KEPCO coach Kwon Young-min had no choice but to make a big change in the starting lineup. Setter Kim Joo-young started, and middle blocker Jung Sung-hwan and Kim Dong-young played as an apogee spiker.
Even if Hyundai Capital won 16 consecutive games and suffered a shocking 0-3 loss to KB Insurance on the 5th, not many people would expect Korea Electric Power Corp., which has lost many key players, to win.
As expected, Hyundai Capital took the first and second sets. He increased his momentum with strong serve and high blocking.
But the third set was different. The game went close, and KEPCO was not behind. In the 6-6 tie, KEPCO led 8-6 with Park Seung-soo's spike succeeding in Huh Soo-bong's offensive error. Hyundai Capital immediately turned it over 11-9, but KEPCO led 12-11 again with Kim Joo-young's second consecutive serve ace, and had a margin of 16-13 and 3 points due to Leo's offensive error in the forward line's speedy attack. And Kim Dong-young and Lim Sung-jin's spike and Kim Dong-young's serve ace continued, leading 19-14 to win the third set.
However, Hyundai Capital, which changed the atmosphere with Jung Tae-joon's fastball, followed Jeon Kwang-in's spike by 17-20 and three points, followed Heo Soo-bong's spike and Choi Min-ho's block to 21-22. KEPCO left two points to the 23-21 victory thanks to Yoon Ha-joon's score, but gave Leo back-to-back attacks to allow a 23-23 tie. Heo Su-bong's serve mistake led 24-23 but allowed Leo to score again, eventually 24-24 deuce. However, KEPCO players did not give up. Following Kim Dong-young's serve ace at 26-26, Leo's net-touch error finished 28-26 to win the third set.

Jeon Jin-seon scored six blocks and added nine points, and Kim Joo-young scored eight points, including three serve aces, even though he was a setter. Jung Sung-hwan scored 7 points and Park Seung-soo and Yoon Ha-joon scored 5 points each.
After the game, coach Kwon said, `There were no foreign players, Shin Young-seok and Seo Jae-deok, but I think they did a good job"There were some parts that were disappointing, but the will to play was good. There was a difference in strength against the No. 1 team, but it wasn't bad." Although he lost, he gave a positive evaluation. Then "If there were foreign players when receiving was bad, I could have solved it, but that was a shame." I don't think it was bad for young players."
Coach Kwon said, `We practice together without deciding whether to play the main or non-main game. It was to make the replacement stronger because he was weaker than other teamsIt seems that young players have grown a lot. I give you a chance, but it's the player who catches it. It's good to take this opportunity to do my part. There is a lack of defense or control, but I can see that it has grown overall."
As for setter Kim Joo-young "I'm in my third year after graduating from high school, but when I came to the professional program, I opened and fixed all of them. I made him prepare to play this season, but he did a good job without being nervous"There are a few things I don't like, but I want to compliment him a lot." Will there be another chance. Coach Kwon said, `We plan to use the team according to the opponent team. Today, I gave Joo-young because of her height. I needed a tall setter to catch the receiving going over"I'll put a player in the next game accordingly."
