The surprise performance of "Special Joker" Lee Sun-woo (22, 184cm) led Jeong Kwan-jang to the final of the cup competition.

Jeong Kwan-jang defeated GS Caltex with a set score of 3-2 (23-25 25-20 23-25 25-17 15-10) in the women's semifinal match of the 2024 Tongyeong-Dodram Cup Professional Volleyball Championship held at Tongyeong Gymnasium in Gyeongnam on the 5th.

Until the third set, the team was led by a set score of one to two. Jeong had to turn the tables in the fourth set.
Lee Sun-woo, who was substituted at the moment of crisis, turned the tables. He scored seven points in the fourth set alone, including one block. Thanks to Lee's performance, Jeong won 25-17 in the fourth set, heading for the fifth set.

Jeong made it to the finals by winning the final set 15 to 10. At 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, he will compete with Hyundai Engineering & Construction for the trophy.

After the game, coach Ko Hee-jin gave a thumbs-up to Lee Sun-woo. "This is why I have high expectations for him. He served as a game changer," he said. "Lee Sun-woo is a player who is ready to play his role no matter where he chooses, such as Mega or Bukirich."

Lee Sun-woo said, "I think I will be able to win the 4th set and go to the 5th set."

"I had to do it when Bukrich and Mega couldn't do it, but I'm glad I helped you today," he said with a smile, adding, "I'll try to play a good role in the season."

Although he played the role of a "special Joker," he must be greedy to become a starting member. "I want to play, but if I can help my team, I will focus on this role," Lee said.

Jung Ho-young also stood out on the day. Notably, he successfully blocked GS Caltex for four consecutive games in the fourth set.

"I think the moment I start the game and block it, the atmosphere is decided," Jung Ho-young said, smiling, "and I think today was a day when the 안전놀이터 ball was stuck in my hand."

Chung is aiming to win his third career championship in six years since 2018. "It's my first finals since my debut. I think it will be meaningful if I win as a member of my team. I really want to win," Chung Ho-young said.
