Pro volleyball team Korean Air secured its first win of the cup competition after facing Tommi Tiilikainen, who once led the team's golden age, as the head coach of the opposing side.
Director Tiilikainen had led Korean Air to three consecutive combined championships starting in 2021.
He took the helm at Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance starting this season.
In his first match as the new head coach of Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, he fell victim to his "former disciples."
Taking the lead in the victory was native powerhouse Jung Ji-seok.
He scored 18 points, including three blocks, leading Korean Air to a 3-1 victory.
In particular, he performed passionate celebrations every time he scored, foreshadowing fierce matchups against Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance in the regular season as well.
