Shin Ho-jin and Jeong Han-yong Combine for 34 Points; South Korea Sweeps Indonesia 3-0 in Men's Volleyball

The men's national volleyball team (ranked 29th in the world) secured a dominant victory against Indonesia (55th) in the second match of the group stage at the 2026 Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) Cup.
The national team, led by head coach Isanaye Ramires, defeated Indonesia with a set score of 3-0 in the second match of Group B, held today (the 22nd) at the Veer Savarkar Sports Complex in Ahmedabad, India.
In their first match held on the 20th, the team suffered a 2-3 upset loss to Thailand, a team considered to be lower in the rankings.
Having regrouped to defeat Indonesia, South Korea now holds 4 points (1 win, 1 loss), placing them second in the group behind Qatar (4 points).
In this tournament, the top two teams from each group advance to the semifinals.
The national team is scheduled to play their third match against Oman on the 25th and their fourth match against Qatar on the 26th.
Shin Ho-jin (Hyundai Capital), who scored a team-high 21 points in the previous match against Thailand, once again led the team in scoring as an opposite spiker, tallying 18 points against Indonesia.
Outside hitter Jeong Han-yong (Korean Air) also contributed 16 points, with the duo combining for a total of 34 points.
Although the 3-0 set score suggests a one-sided affair, the national team faced close contests in every set.
In the first set, with the score tied at 20-20, the team pulled ahead following a point from Shin Ho-jin, and secured the set by capitalizing on a point from Im Sung-jin (Armed Forces Athletic Corps) and opponent errors.
The second set was also a back-and-forth battle, but the team seized control at the crucial moment with a powerful strike from Jeong Han-yong and a quick attack from Cha Young-seok. In the third set, they took a 20-15 lead by exploiting the opponent's attacking errors and closed out the match.
