It is a backup setter, but it changes the team's atmosphere with its unique strengths. This is why Kwon Young-min, the head coach of KEPCO, entrusts him with the role of Joker.

This is the story of setter Lee Won-joong (30). Whenever Lee is substituted in every difficult moment in his team, players' morale is high regardless of the score.

KEPCO defeated OK Savings Bank with a set score of 3-1 (27-29 25-23 25-18 25-18) in the men's fourth round away match of Dodram 2024-2025 V-League at Sangnoksu Gymnasium in Ansan, Gyeonggi-do on the 21st.

During the match, KEPCO was hit by a lot of bad news. Foreign player Matheus collapsed again as soon as he returned from his abdominal injury.
At 25-25 in the first set, Matheus sprained his ankle and collapsed while landing after blocking. After complaining of pain for a while, he eventually came off the court on a stretcher.

Since then, the team atmosphere has been sagging, but KEPCO has become more active after Lee Won-joong was replaced. KEPCO, which lost the first set, won three sets and won a thrilling come-from-behind victory.

Lim Sung-jin, the "native ace" who contributed the most to the victory by scoring 21 points in both teams, said, "I was grateful that (Lee) Won-joong led the team well. The mood was subdued, but he showed me a hole in my tights' knees, which made me laugh. Everything like that helped change the mood."

Lee Won-joong said, "It's the second time I've had a hole in my tights. I lost at first, but I had another hole this time," adding, "I was embarrassed."

Lim didn't stop complimenting him. "(Lee Won-joong) is good at leading the team because he is good at fighting," he said. "Yamato is quiet, but Won-joong is very active. He always makes me excited, so I feel excited."

Lee Won-joong, who serves as the team's mood maker, said, "Since I have a strong personality, I play a lot of jokes around me," adding, "I think positive energy comes from the court. I'm going to scream one more time because I shouldn't be upset."

Lee Won-joong smiled, saying, "Mateus returned, and his morale fell because he was hurt during the first set, but I'm glad that Korean players came together and produced good results."

On this day, he replaced the team in a difficult situation, saying, "I'm not ready yet, but I'm still preparing. I'm trying to boost the atmosphere because I go in when the team is in a bad situation."

Coach Kwon praised, "When Yamato was shaking, (Lee) Won-joong came in and did a good job. That brought back the atmosphere." 토토사이트

In response, Lee Won-joong said, "The coach makes me comfortable outside of sports. During the losing streak, the mood may not be good, but he brightens up the mood by playing a lot of jokes."

At the same time, he subtly appealed to director Kwon, saying, "I hope you continue to trust and use it."

Korea Electric Power Corporation will play a home game against Hyundai Capital on the 24th. It is also Lee Won-joong's former team. "If I play, I really want to win Hyundai Capital," he said.
