South Korea emerged victorious with a score of 3-1 (25-21, 25-21, 26-28, 25-18) in Pool D, securing the top position and advancing to the quarterfinals against Kazakhstan. Cha observed his players' focus and determination, noting that they were intent on winning despite the loss of the third set, reminiscent of their 2023 loss to Vietnam in Hangzhou. Having set the goal of revenge against Vietnam, his team was determined to secure an advantageous position for the quarterfinals. The coach acknowledged that some players felt nervous at times, but their determination to win remained strong. Having played Vietnam three times in 2026, Cha prepared detailed set plays for blocking and defense, which proved effective in the match. Looking ahead, Cha aims to advance the team to the semifinals, leaving behind the victory over Vietnam and facing Kazakhstan next.",
