Suwon KEPCO Vixtorm stunned defending champions Incheon Korean Air Jumbos 3-1 (25-23, 18-25, 26-24, 27-25) away at Gyeyang Gymnasium handing coach Seok Jin-wook his first win since returning to the V-League sideline after three years.
Import Sharon Vernon-Evans exploded for a match-high 26 points at 56% attack. Yoon Ha-jun added 14 with three aces — including back-to-back serves that flipped set three from 23-24 to 26-24. Setter Lee Min-gyu sealed match point with a block at 25-25 in the fourth before Shaw’s quick-open finished it 27-25.
Korean Air got 19 from Lim Dong-hyuk and 15 from Xander Kettschinski, but both sides now sit 1-1 with three points. Veteran setter Han Sun-su became the first player in V-League history to reach 21,000 career set successes, though the milestone was overshadowed by the defeat. Korean Air were without head coach Renan Dal Zotto (recurring back pain).
