I'll do as I always do."

A big match is coming up that will have a decisive impact on the early-mid-league game, but veteran Kwak Seung-seok is not shaken at all. I'm just trying to show my best as I always do.

Before the opening of the season, Korean Air faced a major negative factor. Outside heater Jung Ji-seok, who plays a big role in offense and defense, is out of power due to a back injury. Jung Ji-seok's return schedule has not been confirmed until the end of the second round. In a difficult situation, Kwak Seung-seok firmly supported the team. He is playing as a housekeeper for the team, filling Jung Ji-seok's vacancy with his 13-year-old junior Jeong Han-yong.

Kwak Seung-seok also performed well in the men's second round of Dodram 2023-2024 V-League between Korean Air and Hyundai Capital at Cheonan Yu Gwan-sun Gymnasium on the 25th. He scored 10 points, including two blocks, and the success rate of the attack reached 72.73%. The receiving efficiency was also as high as 50 percent. Thanks to Kwak Seung-seok's performance, Korean Air crushed Hyundai Capital with a set score of 3-0 (25-21, 25-16, 25-23), marking 25 points and beating Woori Card (22 points), which played one less game, to become the league leader.

After the game, Kwak Seung-seok had a brief meeting with head coach Tommy Tilikainen before entering the interview room. Kwak Seung-seok, who said, "We played one more game, but I feel good to be No. 1," said, "Hyundai Capital has recently changed its pattern play, so we practiced accordingly. He also introduced how he responded to various changes in the opponent, saying, "There were many replacements during the game, and I played while modifying my tactics to suit the characteristics of the players coming in."

Both of Kwak Seung-seok's two blocks came in the first set, both of which were decisive blocks that had a great influence on the flow of the first set. Kwak Seung-seok first explained about the scene in which Cha Young-seok's fastball was blocked at 13-12, "I put a sweatshirt block on the fastball because I thought Ahmed Iqbairi (registered name Ahmed) would not be able to participate in the attack because he received a short reception." Regarding the scene that blocked Ahmed's attack alone in 18-16, he continued to explain, "I blocked a straight line after seeing Ahmed's attack form until the end, and it worked well."

Kwak Seung-seok originally played spike serve, but as his serve mistakes became more frequent, he mixed up floater serve. However, he played a stable and threatening spike serve on this day. He had only one error while hitting 11 serves. Kwak Seung-seok, who said, "I hit it on time because the serve toss was bad, but when I got an error, my mind seemed to shake more," smiled, saying, "So I'm just using my serve with the mindset of throwing confidently and hitting confidently, but fortunately, it's going well."

The match against KEPCO on the 18th was the worst match played by Korean Air this season. He didn't show any of his strengths in both offense and defense. However, in the two matches after that match, Korean Air has been performing better than before the defeat. When asked about the secret, Kwak Seung-seok said, "The players were not feeling well overall in the match against KEPCO. Still, the players talked about preparing well for the next game because they lost, and tried not to pay too much attention to the game that was already over. Then, I think I'm getting a better look."

Jung Ji-seok is still not on the court. However, Kwak Seung-seok and Jeong Jung-yong have been consistently in good shape, buying time for the team and Jung Ji-seok. "The team is taking good care of your body, so there is no big problem with your physical strength. In addition, (Jeong) Han Yong is growing a lot with this opportunity. Kwak Seung-seok, who said, "I'm proud that I'm showing my ability well," said, "It would be better if (Jeong) Ji-seok came back soon, but I'm not sure about the schedule yet, so I'll continue to hold out and wait for him to come."

Korean Air's next opponent is Woori Card. The game is expected to be a fierce match between the two teams, which are guarding the top of the ranking table side by side. However, Kwak Seung-seok said, "Everyone may think it's an important game, but I don't think it's more important because the opponent is our card. "I think it's one of the usual games, and I'll try to show you a good performance as I always do," he said, expressing his veteran-like composure.

Lastly, Kwak Seung-seok greeted the away fans who visited Cheonan. He said, "Even though the weather got very cold, I felt really good because a lot of fans came. Thanks to this, I was able to cheer up and play well. "I hope you continue to support me a lot in the future," he said, expressing his sincere gratitude to his fans.

Veteran Kwak Seung-seok's composure was like an ice field. He was not excited about the complete victory and was not swayed by the upcoming big matches. Attention is drawn to what Kwak Seung-seok, who is faithfully doing his part for the team, will do for the rest of the season.
