'Spike War' features 'the emperor of volleyball' Kim Yeon-koung delivering blunt, straight-to-the-point commentary during the final match between Sinboom and Strange teams.
Today (25th) on the MBN sports variety show 'Spike War', a final match between Sinboom and Strange teams will be held to decide the team that will compete in the Korea-Japan match against the volleyball team led by 'Japanese volleyball legend' Nakagaichi Yuichi.
On the day, 'the emperor of volleyball' Kim Yeon-koung visits the stadium to watch the final match between Sinboom and Strange teams in person. Kim Yeon-koung will also provide commentary alongside Director General Kim Se-jin and caster Kang Seong-cheol.
Ahead of the final match between Sinboom and Strange teams, Kim Yeon-koung expresses anticipation for the heavy responsibilities of the two teams' setters, Woo Ji-won and Si Eun-mi, who firmly support their ace attackers, the performance of Sinboom team's other ace, middle blocker Song Min-jun, and the strategies and tactics of the two coaches who must win at all costs.
Watching the game from the commentary box, Kim Yeon-koung, after seeing spikes from both teams' aces Kael and Yoon Seong-bin, could not hide her surprise, reacting, "So this is it! It's even stronger in person," and "They hit the ball like professional players."
Also, the fantastic set plays of Sinboom team's Kael × Song Min-jun × Woo Ji-won and Strange team's Si Eun-mi × Yoon Seong-bin draw Kim Yeon-koung into the match. In addition, Kim Yeon-koung shows a merciless side toward a player who committed an error at a crucial moment, saying, "You have to do well! You must not make errors."
True to a final match, players on both teams bite down and fiercely engage in the game. In particular, it was reported that during this 'Spike War' match, for the first time, a situation arose in which a strong video review request was made to the referee.
In their immersion in the game, player injuries continued. Sinboom team's Song Min-jun had an accident falling while defending. How Song Min-jun's injury, which occurred while coordinating with Kael and Woo Ji-won to score, will affect the game raises expectations for the intensely absorbed final match between Sinboom and Strange teams, even for Kim Yeon-koung.
