The Wonder Coach director Kim Yeon-koung's Wonder Dogs produced a memorable scene in which they seized the initiative with a dramatic strategic change after a tense duel.
On the 16th episode broadcast on MBC's The Wonder Coach, the fiery meeting unfolded between Kim Yeon-koung's Pilseung Wonder Dogs and the 2024-2025 V League champion and women's volleyball team with the most championships, Heungkuk Life Pink Spiders (hereinafter Heungkuk Life).
The match kept tension high as it continued to be decided by one point. At 7-7, Moon Myeong-hwa's quick attack succeeded, giving the Wonder Dogs the point, and another successful quick attack put them up by two points. But the opponent's persistent chase tied it at 10-10, bringing the match back to square one.
Moon Myeong-hwa immediately scored one point with a quick ball to take the lead again, but a subsequent service error conceded a point, leaving regret.
Meanwhile, when Inkusshi committed an error, Kim Yeon-koung sharply criticized her. Kim Yeon-koung said, "How are you supposed to hit when Inkusshi's ball is bad?" as she again ordered a straight attack, not hiding her displeasure.
Afterward, tall player Gu Sol was substituted in for Lee Na-yeon, and Gu Sol steadily ran the toss and succeeded in bringing the score back. The fierce exchange of single points continued, making the outcome unpredictable.
At the turning point of the match, Kim Yeon-koung's strategy shone. Kim Yeon-koung immediately changed the blocking strategy to stop the attacks of the opponent's Shin Eun-ji. The changed strategy worked like a charm, and the Wonder Dogs scored an important point with a successful block.
At that moment, Wonder Dogs manager Bu Seung-kwan shouted, "Wow, block it right away!" and ran toward Kim Yeon-koung to high-five her, expressing intense joy. Bu Seung-kwan was known to have been a longtime fan of the Red Sparks, and the broadcast team couldn't help but laugh at such a fervent reaction that perfectly proved he was the Wonder Dogs' manager.
