Heungkuk Life Insurance's No. 1 regular league has been confirmed. On the 26th, Jung Kwan-jang, the second-ranked team in the women's division of the V-League, lost to GS Caltex in the sixth round of the 2024-2025 Dodram V-League at Jangchung Gymnasium by 1-3, destroying all the remaining 'Magic Numbers' of Heungkuk Life.
This will keep Heungkuk Life in first place even if it loses all the remaining games. This is the new record for the remaining games based on the confirmation time of the women's all-time No. 1 team. The previous record was four games, and Heungkuk Life secured the top spot with five games left.
It is not surprising that Heungkuk Life Insurance ranks first in the regular league. He was considered the most likely favorite from the season's opening game, and another favorite ran out of steam at the last minute. Heungkuk Life also suffered from the aftermath of struggling with the teams in the middle and lower ranks after the winning streak was cut off, but rather revived in the second half of the year. Tutku's return, which had been out due to injury, also gave Heungkuk Life a momentum.

In the 2023-2024 season, just a year ago, he advanced to the championship as the runner-up in the regular league, but failed to overcome the wall of Hyundai Engineering & Construction, which was the strongest power last year. He beat Jeong Kwan-jang in the playoffs, but in reality, he lost three consecutive games to Hyundai Engineering & Construction. Even though they played a close game in the full set of each game, they failed to win by a single margin and finished second for two consecutive years.

There is no denying that this season is the best opportunity. First of all, he won a direct ticket to the championship as the No. 1, and his strongest rivals, Jeong Kwan-jang and Hyundai Engineering & Construction, have not been able to fully operate due to a string of key foreign players.
Heungkuk Life will face Jeong Kwan-jang in the 6th round on March 1st. It could have been a championship match in advance, but the opponent is currently losing power as key player Vanya Bukiric was injured. Now, as we wait for the playoff winner to enter the championship, we are gearing up to make a shrewd preparation for the final spectacular finale.
