  "account": "NAGOYA, September 29 — The South Korean men’s volleyball team encountered another transport mix-up during the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan. The team's bus, organized by the Games' organizers, took them to a venue an hour away from their scheduled training location in Inuyama. Consequently, the team was forced to cancel their practice, which occurred ahead of their group game against Taiwan. An official from the Korea Volleyball Association informed AFP of the incident. Despite the inconvenience, the team proceeded to win against Taiwan with a score of 3-1. The volleyball team's predicament echoes a similar incident involving their basketball counterparts, who missed training before their final match against Japan last week due to their bus failing to arrive. Additionally, the Pakistan men’s volleyball team was also affected by the same mix-up, resulting in a 45-minute delay to their game against Uzbekistan. South Korea’s captain, Murad Jehan, expressed disappointment on Instagram, while the local organizing committee acknowledged the error and apologized for the inconvenience caused.",
