Hyundai Engineering & Construction won the set score 3-1 25-9, 29-31, 26-25, 25-19 against Pepper Savings Bank in the 2023-2024 Dodram V League at Pepper Stadium in Gwangju on the 19th, recording a four-round victory and six consecutive wins.

The victory further widened the gap between Hyundai Engineering & Construction 18 wins, 5 losses and 55 points and Heungkuk Life Insurance 18 wins, 6 losses and 50 points.

Before the game, the away team, Hyundai Engineering & Construction, appeared in line with the announcer's introduction, and the head coach, Kang Sung-hyung, greeted the fans after being introduced. Then, players from Pepper Savings Bank entered, and coach Joe Trinzie also greeted the fans.

After introducing Joe Trinzee, manager of Pepper Savings Bank, Kang Sung-hyung, manager of Hyundai Engineering & Construction, was looking at the bench of Pepper Savings Bank. Coach Joe Trinzee gave a high-five to the coaching staff, handed over a jumper to the staff, and drank water.

Kang gave a signal to shake hands with his hands after waiting for a long time. However, Cho never showed any reaction. The assistant referee, who was preparing the bowl for the match, also smiled at Kang's embarrassing situation.

The coaches of both teams come up to the middle of the court to win a fair play and a great match before the game, shake hands, and shake hands after the game to mean "well done."

Of course, managers sometimes forget when they focus on preparing for the game.

In such a case, the coaching staff informs the coach of the situation. Hyundai E&C coach Kang Sung-hyun slightly extended his right hand for about five seconds, but Pepper Savings Bank coach Kang's handshake gesture was not seen in the coaching staff of Pepper Savings Bank. 스포츠토토

Hyundai Engineering & Construction director Kang Sung-hyun's expression, who thought basic etiquette was ignored, hardened and drank water to calm his emotions.

It is hard to find a case where coaches refused to shake hands in the volleyball world since the "handshake bullying" of coaches started by acting coach Kim Sani of IBK Industrial Bank under the leadership of GS Caltex coach Cha Sang-hyun in 21.

After the game, Pepper Savings Bank coach Joe Trinji and Hyundai Engineering & Construction coach Kang Sung-hyun shook hands and greeted each other lightly as if nothing had happened and headed to their respective courts.

Meanwhile, Pepper Savings Bank, which has lost 16 consecutive games, will try to escape its losing streak against Hyundai Engineering & Construction in Suwon on Jan. 31 after the All-Star Game.
