Under the leadership of Coach Kim Yeon-koung, the Pilsung Wonderdogs are set to take on Japan’s top high school team in a prideful Korea-Japan showdown.
The fourth episode of the Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) variety show ‘The Rookie Coach Kim Yeon-koung’, airing on the 19th, will feature the first-ever intense match between the Pilsung Wonderdogs and Shujitsu High School, Japan’s strongest high school team. This game marks Coach Kim Yeon-koung’s international debut and carries the symbolic weight of a Korea-Japan volleyball rivalry, drawing keen attention from fans.
However, in the early stages of the match, the Pilsung Wonderdogs struggle as their attacks fail to break through. The Japanese team’s technical prowess, characterized by Shujitsu’s solid fundamentals and powerful spikes, proves far stronger than anticipated, leaving the players in disarray.
Amid the turmoil, captain Pyo Seung-ju rallies her teammates by shouting, “Focus! Focus!”—rekindling their fighting spirit.

Notably, Pyo Seung-ju’s performance as captain evokes memories of her days playing alongside Coach Kim Yeon-koung at the 2020 Summer Olympics (Tokyo 2020). Now, she shines as the leader of the Pilsung Wonderdogs.
Will the Pilsung Wonderdogs be able to claim victory over Japan’s powerhouse, Shujitsu High School? The outcome of Coach Kim Yeon-koung’s first Korea-Japan showdown—filled with sweat and determination—will be revealed in the broadcast, promising to excite all viewers.
