Depending on the number of games left, Jeong Kwan-jang had to earn three points for GS Caltex to save his faint hope for first place.

Heungkuk Life became the regular league winner with five games left until the end of the season, which is the new record for the most remaining games for the women's team in the V-League. The previous record was four games.

Heungkuk Life continued its winning streak of 14 consecutive games, lost to the articles of association, and immediately began to suffer from the aftermath of the winning streak. Along with head coach Daniele Turino's mockery of the opponent's bench, the injury of main gun Tutuku overlapped. On top of that, he fell to one win and five losses in six games after 14 consecutive wins due to the declining physical strength of his main players.

In the meantime, the articles of association came to life. Jeong Kwan-jang, who threatened top-ranked Heungkuk Life Insurance by winning 13 consecutive games in the middle of the regular season, lost all of his matches in the fourth and fifth rounds, however, and his dream of winning the championship effectively went up in smoke. Heungkuk Life created a winning mode again based on that victory. He has won 11 consecutive games.

Coach Chung Kwan-jang and Ko Hee-jin fired up their will, saying they would protect at least the second place, but bad luck continues at the end of the season. In the fifth round against GS Caltex, main gun Bukirich stepped on the opponent Silva's foot and greatly bent his ankle. a four-week total injury.

He met GS Caltex again in a chaotic atmosphere, and even Park Eun-jin, the main middle blocker in the middle of the third set, was carried off on a stretcher due to a large left ankle. It was Jeong Kwan-jang, who was in an equal fight with GS Caltex until the third set, but after Park Eun-jin's injury, the players collapsed psychologically and collapsed weakly in the third set and lost in the fourth set without changing the atmosphere.

Heungkuk Life went straight to the championship game. It's been two seasons. However, he was humiliated by the Korea Expressway Corporation at the time. After losing the regular league title to Hyundai Engineering & Construction last season, he failed to lift the trophy by winning three consecutive championships. Attention is focusing on whether Heungkuk Life Insurance and Kim Yeon-koung's drama can be completed with the ending of winning the championship, with Kim Yeon-koung announcing her retirement. Since Industrial Bank of Korea's elimination of 'Spring Volleyball' was confirmed a day ago, it will meet the playoff winners of two teams, Jeong Kwan-jang and Hyundai Engineering & Construction, in the championship match.
