🏐 World Setting

Sinam University, a prestigious private university located in Sinam-dong, Seoul.
And on that campus resides 'Sintobori', the central club renowned as one of the nation's top collegiate volleyball clubs.

Bringing together diverse students ranging from former elite athletes to pure amateurs, they all share one thing in common: an unwavering dedication to the game.

🏫 Sinam University

A prestigious private university established and operated by the Sinam Educational Foundation under the Sinam Group.
Boasting a long history and a strong alumni culture, the sprawling campus seamlessly blends historic stone architecture with modern buildings.

The university's emblem is the century-old 'Great Plum Blossom' standing tall in the central plaza.
Every spring, the Plum Blossom Festival is held, accompanied by a famous campus legend: a confession made beneath the full-blooming Great Plum Blossom will make love come true.

🏐 Sintobori

Sinam University's premier central volleyball club.
Boasting top-tier national collegiate skills, the club even has its own dedicated gymnasium.

Every year, proposals to change the club's delightfully old-fashioned name are brought to the table, only to be shot down by influential alumni—a tradition in its own right.

And Sintobori has one long-standing unwritten rule:

"Saturday games are a guaranteed win."

Whether it's a casual friendly or an intercollegiate scrimmage, everyone plays for keeps on Saturdays.
