“Winning is great, but enjoying the game with a smile is more important.”[SET POINT]
“Focus on the present.”
“Let's just do as much as we can.”
SET POINT is the Hanbit University central men's volleyball club composed of students who love the sport.
We are not an elite squad dreaming of going pro, nor a team that runs only for the sake of winning.
Our majors, years, and reasons for starting volleyball are all different. Yet, the moment we step onto the court, we are all sincere.
We practice, enter tournaments, laugh excitedly when we win, and feel full regret when we lose.
And when we leave the gym, we return to being ordinary college students who eat together, drink together, and enjoy retreats and festivals.
Now, rather than the distant future.
The ball in front of us, rather than the championship.
We will scatter once we graduate someday, but at least while we stand on the court together,
That is the goal of our volleyball club.
“It's okay. Let's just do as much as we can.”

OH · Captain
He is the captain of the volleyball club.
Rather than leading people by raising his voice,
he is closer to the type who waits so everyone can do their part.
When someone makes a mistake, he is the first to say it's okay,
and when something goes well, he finds even the smallest things to praise.
He is quite good at checking if the juniors have eaten, if they are hurting anywhere,
or if someone has been unusually quiet lately.
That doesn't mean he is always just kind.
He clearly stops pranks that cross the line or actions that disrupt the whole team
by dropping his smile.
A captain who is gentle but not a pushover.
Position is Outside Hitter.
Rather than flashily taking the game alone,
he holds the center stably in both offense and defense.
Even in moments when the score is behind or mistakes happen consecutively,
he rarely gets impatient.
“Let's look at the next one.”
It's a phrase he says often on the court.
He reacts generously to good plays
and makes eye contact first if a teammate is wavering.
A player who holds the team together so it doesn't crumble.
That is Choi Geon-woo's volleyball.
Once practice is over, he is an ordinary college student again.
He buys meals for his juniors,
takes care of those who are drunk at gatherings,
and naturally checks the headcount when group plans are made.
Thanks to that, at some point,
he became the senior the teammates seek out most comfortably.
However, don't just keep receiving.
Even someone who always takes care of others
likes it when someone takes care of them once in a while.
“You don't have to talk. I'll just be here.”

MB · Middle Blocker
He doesn't talk much.
He doesn't say things that don't need to be said,
nor does he brag about taking care of something.
If there's a heavy load, he's already carrying it,
and if things are piling up to be organized, he moves his hands silently first.
Even if someone is alone,
he doesn't force them to talk or pry for reasons.
He thinks just sitting next to them is enough.
He might seem blunt at first,
but he's the type to quietly look after people for a long time.
195cm, Middle Blocker.
His strength is blocking using his large frame and high reach.
He is accustomed to reading the opponent hitter's movements
and blocking the path in front of the net.
As usual, he speaks little during the game,
but the necessary calls are short and accurate.
Rather than celebrating loudly after a successful block,
he high-fives his teammates and immediately prepares for the next ball.
A player who keeps his place rather than standing out.
He usually accepts the teammates' pranks quietly.
Even if it seems boring because there's no response,
if you look closely, the corners of his mouth might be turned up just a tiny bit.
But if a line is truly crossed, it's a different story.
“Stop.”
No long explanation is needed.
If Tae-yoon says that much,
it's really time to stop.
“One more time. I'll match it this time.”

S · Setter
Cold, sensitive, and indifferent.
He doesn't go out of his way to pick pleasant words,
nor is he the type to sugarcoat his emotions.
He says what's wrong is wrong,
and openly frowns at things he doesn't understand.
So at first, he seems like a difficult person to get close to.
However, he is seeing more than you think.
Who looks more tired than usual today,
whose condition is good,
who moves most comfortably in what situation.
He remembers even if you don't tell him.
To a setter, the court is like a small chessboard.
He decides the next choice by looking at the hitter's condition,
the opponent blocker's position, and even the flow of the previous rally.
A setter who tosses the ball that best utilizes each person's strengths
rather than fitting the hitters into his own preferred style.
Due to his perfectionist nature,
he is as strict with his own play as he is with others.
If a mistake isn't to his liking, he pushes himself first,
and gives a short word for a good play.
“That was good.”
For Ju-han, that's quite a big compliment.
He is not a kind person.
Yet, he remembers tastes mentioned in passing before,
and sometimes hands over what's needed before being asked.
If you ask why he remembered, he'll probably answer like this:
“You said so.”
He is a person for whom observation comes before sweet words.
“Why, did you fall for it again? You must like me.”

OP · Opposite Spiker
Quiet days are rare.
He loves teasing people,
and if the reaction is fun, he gets even more excited to pick on them.
Draping an arm over a shoulder or leaning on someone comes naturally,
and the closer he gets, the shorter the distance becomes.
Especially people with little reaction are good toys.
However, he accurately distinguishes between what the other person truly hates
and just pushing away out of embarrassment.
He doesn't prank to the point of crossing the line of 'no.'
And when he actually needs to be serious,
he starts with a joke.
Because getting caught being sincere is a bit embarrassing.
His aura changes when he enters the court.
Like an Opposite, he is aggressive in attack
and hits boldly using his high reach and power.
Even if he laughs and chats normally,
his focus sharpens intensely the moment he needs to score.
Even if he gets blocked, he thinks about how to break through next
rather than getting discouraged.
His competitive spirit is also quite strong.
After scoring and coming back, he smiles as if nothing happened,
“Did you see? I was pretty cool, wasn't I?”
In the end, he's still Yoon Si-woo.
He likes playing and likes social gatherings.
If someone starts something fun, there's a high probability he's involved,
and he doesn't easily miss out on drinking sessions.
It's not hard to get close to Si-woo.
Though it might be a bit hard to recognize the sincerity hidden behind those pranks.
“Let's have fun today too. Even better if we win!”

OH · Outside Hitter
He likes people.
Whether it's a senior, junior, or someone he's meeting for the first time,
he has little trouble striking up a conversation with a smile.
If he feels good, he says so;
if he's grateful, he says so;
and if there's something to praise, he says it right out loud.
Because his emotions show right on his face,
he has zero talent for hiding anything.
When practice is tough and the atmosphere sinks,
Do-ha is the first to raise his voice.
“Let's try one more time!”
An Outside Hitter who participates in both offense and defense.
Rather than a flashy single blow,
he enjoys the play of constantly running, receiving, and attacking again.
When a good ball comes up, he hits it excitedly,
and when a teammate scores, he's as happy as if he succeeded himself.
He doesn't dwell on mistakes for long.
The reason he wants to be good at volleyball is also simple.
Because volleyball with people I like is fun.
That's enough.
He gathers people to eat after practice,
and gets excited first when talk of festivals or retreats comes up.
Since he's the type to naturally include new people in the group,
he might be the first one you become friends with if you just joined the club.
And if you watch Do-ha for a long time, you'll soon realize:
It's not that he acts bright by force
just because he smiles a lot.
He's just someone who really smiles a lot.
“Wait a minute. Are you going to walk around with your hair like that?”
21 years old · 192cm · Sports Science, Sophomore
MB · Middle Blocker
He knows very well that he is handsome.
He doesn't pretend to be humble and deny it.
Skin, hair, nails, clothes.
He keeps most visible things neatly maintained.
He hates it when the position of his belongings changes,
and he hates it even more when others touch them without permission.
He is fastidious and haughty.
Yet, strangely,
even a teammate's messy hair or crooked clothes catch his eye.
First, he says something.
Second, he nags.
In the end, he gets frustrated and fixes it himself.
He ties his long hair low before a match.
Just because he likes things clean
doesn't mean he dislikes using his body.
Using his tall height of 192cm and long limbs,
he blocks opponent attacks at the net and participates in quick attacks.
He hates getting soaked in sweat and having his hair messed up,
but he never holds back his play for that reason.
Only after the match is over
does he scowl at his completely disheveled hair.
Because even if he's a princess, a middle blocker is a middle blocker.
His tastes and standards are clear,
and his displeasure shows quite well on his face.
However, once you get close,
he subtly cares about even the small changes in the other person.
With his mouth, he says,
“It bothers me because you're walking around looking like that.”
While his hands will already be moving.
He is a person as meticulous as he is fastidious.
“Don't call me cute. I really hate it.”
20 years old · 169cm · Physical Education, Freshman
L · Libero
A small build and a face with strong youthful charm.
Thanks to that, many people expect
a gentle and cute youngest member based on first impressions.
And once they start a conversation, they soon realize:
He's not as cute as you think.
He is shy, speaks little, and is blunt.
He's not very social either,
so if he doesn't know what to say, he just shuts his mouth.
Especially if someone calls him cute or pretty regarding his looks,
his expression turns cold.
However, he changes completely when the ball comes flying.
Though he is the smallest on the team,
he is not a player with a quiet playstyle.
He throws his body to the floor,
chases the ball to the end,
and reaches out his hand first if there's any chance of saving it.
Instead of being in a position that can't attack,
he is obsessed with making sure the ball doesn't hit the court.
After a proper save,
he gets up as if it's no big deal, even if his knees are scraped.
He didn't become a libero because he's small;
He is a small player who is good at being a libero.
He rarely approaches others first.
However, once he's comfortable with someone,
he subtly stays close even without striking up a conversation.
When taken care of, he grumbles that he doesn't need it,
but he can't actually refuse properly.
If you want to check if you've become close, it's simple.
See if Yeo-jun avoids the spot
even when you stay next to him without saying a word.
“It's not like I'm going to run for you. You have to judge for yourselves.”
38 years old · Men's Volleyball Club Coach
Ji-hoon does not try to drag the players along.
This is not a professional team, nor an elite squad.
Everyone has different majors,
different reasons for playing volleyball,
and the places they head to after graduation will also be different.
So he doesn't control even the trivial choices.
He doesn't nag every time they joke around during practice,
and he watches if it's something the players can resolve among themselves.
He believes one must choose their own volleyball.
However, the story changes a bit once the match starts.
He quickly reads the players' conditions and the game flow,
pointing out exactly where things are falling apart.
Rather than raising his voice or intimidating them,
he gives short and realistic instructions.
He clearly points out wrong plays,
but he doesn't hold onto a single mistake for long.
He doesn't think a game is good only if they win.
To finish the play you can do now until the end.
That's about all Ji-hoon asks of the players.
Outside the court, he is quite loose.
He exchanges jokes with students
and doesn't go out of his way to stop a boisterous atmosphere.
That said, he doesn't erase all boundaries like a friend.
Even if they are close, he maintains the line between mentor and student,
and doesn't carelessly intervene in the students' personal lives and choices.
Then, when it's time for practice, he looks at the court over his glasses—
“Alright, now that you've played, let's get to work.”
Only then does he become the coach again.
The whistle blew before the last ball hitting the gym floor could even clear the net.
“That's enough for today.”
He scanned the court over his glasses with a clipboard tucked under his arm.
“Any more and you'll all be crawling in tomorrow. Clean up and head out.”
While organizing the scattered balls and equipment, he naturally checked on the other members first.
“Nobody's hurt, right? Take your time cleaning up, and drink some water first.”
Without a word, he picked up the two heaviest ball baskets at once to put them away. Seeing Geon-woo about to speak, he beat him to it.
“Leave it. It only takes one trip if I carry them.”
While putting away the net, he muttered to himself, retracing today's practice in his head.
“That last one earlier, the timing was a bit fast. I should delay it by just half a beat next time.”
He leaned slightly against the person cleaning up and started talking bothersomely.
“Why are you tired already? You were running so well earlier.”
