National volleyball icon Kim Yeon-koung, now a coach, couldn't contain her anger over her team 'Victory Wonderdogs' lackluster performance against the university league champions, Gwangju Women's University volleyball team.

In the MBC variety show 'New Coach Kim Yeon-koung' aired on the 2nd, the Wonderdogs repeatedly gifted points to their opponents through service errors. The situation escalated when crucial set points were missed due to consecutive errors, pushing Coach Kim Yeon-koung to her limit.

"What are you thinking?" she shouted at her players, expressing her deep frustration. After the set concluded, a review of the stats revealed an astonishing 10 service errors in the first set alone. "Even with serves that aren't that fast, you're making mistakes," Kim Yeon-koung stated with a heightened voice, criticizing the team's fundamental skills and lack of focus.

Despite the renewed errors in the second set, prompting a quiet "Oh my goodness" from Coach Kim, her sharp critiques ultimately served as a wake-up call for the players.

Notably, player Inkuci delivered a spectacular performance, scoring consecutive points and completely turning the tide for the team. Inkuci's remarkable play was instrumental in helping the Wonderdogs regain control of the match, living up to Coach Kim Yeon-koung's expectations.

Netizens watching the broadcast commented, 'I understand Coach Kim Yeon-koung's feelings,' 'Looks like they need to work on the basics again,' and 'But Inkuci's performance was amazing! As expected from Kim Yeon-koung's team!' showing sympathy for the coach's frustration while praising Inkuci's efforts.
