KB Insurance won a set score of 3-2 (15-25, 17-25, 25-17, 25-19, 15-12) in the third round match against the Korean Air Jumbos in the Dodram 2024-2025 V-League at Gyeyang Gymnasium in Incheon on the 29th. KB Insurance, ranked third, won four games in a row and recorded nine wins, nine losses, and 26 points. It was followed by a 10-point gap with the second-place Korean Air (11 wins, 7 losses, 36 points).
KB Insurance's first half was eventful. Ahead of the first game of the season, head coach Miguel Rivera abruptly resigned for health reasons, and his home stadium, Uijeongbu Gymnasium, was also closed in the middle of the season due to facility problems. In addition, Ramirez, the new coach of the men's national team, was appointed, but the appointment was unsuccessful due to the prohibition of concurrent employment.
KB Insurance, which had remained at 1 win and 5 losses in the first round, quickly stabilized as national team Hwang Taek returned in early November. KB Insurance, which finished with 3 wins and 3 losses in the second round, finished the first half in a perfect upward atmosphere with 5 wins and 1 losses in the third round.
In the beginning, it was the atmosphere of Korean Air. Amid Maxim's performance, Korean Air took a clear lead from the first set. With Maxim's blocking from the start, he cut off the flow of KB Insurance, and later won 25-15 with Lee Joon, Maxim and Kim Min-jae's scoring streak.
The flow of Korean Air continued in the second set. Maxim's firepower exploded from the beginning, and he took the lead early on. In the end, Lee Joon's quick opening at 24-17 also held the second set.
