‘Uh Woo-heung’ (Heungkuk Life Insurance won anyway) collapsed. Heungkuk Life, a female professional volleyball player who was hit by a’hakpok’ (school violence), was eventually deprived of the undisputed No. 1 position. GS Caltex ran a pleasant 4 consecutive wins and finished with Heungkuk Life’s solo run.

GS Caltex won the final confrontation with Heungkuk Life Insurance in the 6th round of the 2020-21 V-League held at the Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 28th with a set score of 3-1 (25-19, 25-19, 22-25, 25-17). With 18-9 and 53 points, it was a perfect tie with Heungkuk Life Insurance, and the opponent’s performance was the same with 3-3. However, thanks to ending the match in the 4th set, he succeeded in reaching the first place since the opening in the set goal ratio.

On the other hand, Heungkuk Life, who was able to keep the first place even with just one more set, could not finally erase the shadows of sisters Lee Jae-young and Da-young Lee, who were punished for an indefinite suspension. The twins, who are the national left and setter duo, have eaten rice from this season due to the transfer of free agent Lee Da-young. Shortly afterward,’volleyball empress’ Kim Yeon-gyeong returned to Korea, wearing the same uniform, and the team stood out as the strongest team boasting the nickname’Heung-vengers’ (Heungkuk Life Insurance + Avengers).

However, after the middle of the season, Lee Da-young lit up a disagreement in the team through personal SNS, and last month, when the fact that the sisters persistently harassed a fellow player in school was revealed, the team atmosphere was at its worst. In the end, Heungkuk Life Insurance came down from the first place for the first time in four months after taking the lead on October 31 of last year. This is because of the sluggishness of 1-6 in recent 7 games.

On this day, GS Caltex’s triangular flight Meretta Lutz (30 points), Kang So-hui (18 points) and Lee So-young (17 points) shone. He easily won the 1st and 2nd sets, and the 4th set also showed off his backsight, driving the life of Heungkuk in an instant. Captain Lee So-young was the last goal to confirm victory and put the wedge in first place. The direct ticket to the championship match, which seemed to be handed over to Heungkuk Life Insurance, came in front of you.

Heungkuk Life Insurance, who relied solely on the flanking attacks of Bruna Morais (22 points, registered name Bruna) and Kim Yeon-kyung (15 points), took the lead even in the beginning of the fourth set after successful counterattack in the third set. However, the receive suddenly shook, allowing a 13-15 reversal in vain, and the flow was completely delivered to the sub room and the overnet room. After that, I couldn’t use my strength and lost helplessly.
