At 17-16, Gong Hee-yong received a strong smash by throwing his body forward and pulled out his opponent Beomsil.

Afterwards, China's Jaifan misjudged the line and swung in the air, while Kim So-young accurately read her opponent's shaky serve.

However, starting from the second set, the game turned sharply towards the Chinese team.

Kim So-young, who injured her right calf in training last month, appeared to be struggling with the aftermath of her injury and her partner Gong Hee-yong conceded a goal after trying to force her to cover the court.

The Korean team, which was tied 8-11 at the interval in the second set, lost 9 consecutive points after the game resumed and lost the win.

It was a similar trend in the third set.

As the score grew to 3-5, Kim So-young asked the referee and received brief medical treatment on her right calf.

Kim So-young and Kong Hee-yong, who broke the flow, chased down a point with tremendous defense and exquisite net play in the rally that came immediately.

However, the Chinese team also immediately received medical treatment, turned the tide again, and eventually won the game by scoring 6 consecutive goals.

Kim So-young, whom we met after the game, said brightly, "It's a shame to think it's disappointing, but I'm glad I played the game safely and got a valuable bronze medal."
