The division of roles between Lee Ho-geon and setter Noh Jae-wook was good, and with the addition of libero Jo Guk-ki, the accuracy of receptions improved. Furthermore, the height was upgraded with the addition of middle blocker Kim Jae-hwi (201 cm). Kim Woo-jin (9 points, 66.6%), who started in place of Fazly in the fourth set, also made an impressive contribution.
