  "account": "South Korean volleyball players secured a 3-1 victory over Vietnam in the final women's group match at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Friday, overcoming the memory of a similar loss at the previous Asiad. Setter Kim Da-in emphasized the team's determination not to let their guard down until the match's end, after squandering a 25-24 match point in the third set. The South Korean players quickly regained their advantage in the fourth set and went on to win the match, clinching three wins and toppling Pool D to avoid China in the quarterfinals. The victory brought back memories of South Korea's collapse at the Hangzhou Asian Games in 2023, where they lost the final preliminary-round match against Vietnam, finishing second in the group and meeting China in the quarterfinals, where they lost 3-0. Kim Da-in recorded six service winners in the match, surpassing her personal record of four in the domestic volleyball league.",
