The women's professional basketball team, which ended the 15-day All-Star Game break, resumed on the first day of the new year and began its schedule in the second half of the year.

What is interesting compared to previous years is the structure in which there is no absolute strong or absolute weak person. This is because two outstanding players, Park Ji-soo and Park Ji-hyun, have left the domestic stage and advanced to overseas leagues, transfers through FA or trade were more active than any other year ahead of this season, and the introduction of the Asian player quota system has led to one or two Japanese players acting as licorice for each team.

In the meantime, Hana Bank veteran Kim Jong-un scored the most points in 19 years since his professional debut in the first half, and meaningful records are waiting in the second half.




First of all, KB Stars Kang Yi-seul is aiming for 800 three-point shots at the same time, the youngest and minimum game. Kang Yi-seul, who debuted in the 2012-2013 season, has played in 359 games until the first half and has 787 three-pointers. There are only 13 left until 800. The youngest record in this category is held by BNK coach Byun Yeon-ha (32 years and 7 months) and Kim Young-ok (368 retired games).

Kang Yi-seul, who was born in April 1994 and is 30 years and nine months old as of April 1, is expected to achieve both records at once without much difficulty. Kang Yi-seul made 26 3-pointers in 14 games in the first half, recording 1.86 per game. If this trend continues, it is expected to be achieved within seven games.

Kang Yi-seul continues to write the youngest record from 300 to 700 in units of 100. However, it was quite different from Kim Young-ok's minimum game record, but after moving to KB Stars, he is trying to surpass it in the 800th by raising his pitch with the help of an outstanding center named Park Ji-soo. However, it is regrettable that Park Ji-soo's absence caused the pace to drop as the burden of offense and defense increased this season.




Ahn Hye-ji, who is leading BNK, has 37 left until 1,500 assists. The youngest record in this category is held by teammate Park Hye-jin (29 years and 7 months). Ahn Hye-ji was born in February 1997 and has entered 27 years and 11 months, so her achievement can be said to be a given.

Another point to watch is whether Shinhan Bank's Hong Yoo-soon will be able to record a double-double in five consecutive games for the first time as a rookie. Overall, the player's base has become thinner and his playing time has increased due to teammate Choi Yi-sam's injury, but Hong Yoo-soon led Shinhan Bank's turnaround at the end of the first half based on her solid basics and good height of 1m79 in Japan as a Korean-Japanese. While Hong Yu-soon posted a double-double in four consecutive games, the team recorded 3 wins and 1 loss. Hong Yoo-soon will challenge this record in the Hana Bank match on the 2nd.
