Has that feeling been conveyed to the players as well. The Korea Expressway Corporation won the shutout with a set score of 3-0 (25-23, 26-24, 26-24) in the fifth round of the women's V-League at Hwaseong Gymnasium on the 20th.
With the victory, the Korea Expressway Corporation is 11 wins and 18 losses and 33 points, one step ahead of Pepper Savings Bank (30 points), and the possibility of overturning Industrial Bank of Korea (37 points) is in sight.
On the other hand, Industrial Bank of Korea, which had 31 points until the end of the third round at the end of last year, continued to fall, closely chasing the third-ranked Jeong Kwan-jang (33 points). Following all losses in the fourth round, he has a disastrous record of one win and five losses in the fifth round and one win and 11 losses in 2025. It is a swamp that has won one game after six consecutive losses and five consecutive losses again.
Kim Jong-min, manager of the Korea Expressway Corporation, met before the game, said, `If our team wants to be stronger, we need a player with a sense of responsibility to winIt won't be easy, but Kang So-hwi should play the ace, not the assistant striker," he stressed.

Manager Kim Jong-min said, `This year was a time to adjust to the new team" declared. "In order to prepare for the next season, I plan to take the starting lineup as it is until the end of this season. There are no more players to go in anyway, and the top priority is to work with Kim Dae-eun and the other members."
The context is the same, but Industrial Bank of Korea director Kim Ho-chul's position was the opposite. He said it is important to change the team's atmosphere, which is shaken by repeated losses.
Coach Kim Ho-chul said, `I'm not as good as I was in practice. The players are not confident and anxious on the court." Kim Ha-kyung, Yuk Seo-young, and Choi Jung-min, who are members of the national level such as Lee So-young, Hwang Min-kyung, and Lee Joo-ah, are now players who have taken off their rookie T-shirts. There is no reason to be sluggish, such as the main setter Chun Shin-tong leaving due to injury, but even the 70-year-old veteran is in a deep quagmire that is difficult to understand.

But the last thing that lacked was the Industrial Bank of Korea. It led to a close game until the end of the set, but the Korea Expressway Corporation was one step ahead in its ability to determine the outcome.
The game was fierce. The Korea Expressway Corporation trailed 22-23 by the end of the first set, but won the set with Tanacha's shot, block and IBK Victoria's error.
The second set was also 21-23 at the end of the set thanks to the scores of Industrial Bank of Korea Nicolova and Lee So-young. However, the Korea Expressway Corporation turned the game around with Nicolova and Kang So-hwi, and Kim Se-bin's quick attack at 25-24 ended the set.
