The Wonderdogs, led by volleyball legend Kim Yeon-koung, have achieved a thrilling victory against the top-tier Japanese high school volleyball team, Shujitsu High School.

In the MBC variety show 'Rookie Director Kim Yeon-koung' aired on the 19th, Kim Yeon-koung's team, the Wonderdogs, faced off against Shujitsu High School, a formidable opponent known for its participation in the Inter-High School Championships.

Although initially pressured by the opponent's strong start, the Wonderdogs managed to secure the first set. In the second set, team captain Pyo Seung-ju rallied her teammates, stating, 'We need to push harder. When I hit soft shots, their defense handles it all, so hit hard!' She added, 'In a Korea-Japan match, we absolutely must win.'
