Korean Air has been consistently competing for the championship since the 2016-2017 season. During the 2019-2020 season, when the postseason was not held due to the followingmath of Corona 19, the league was suspended while running in second place in the regular league.
After finishing third in the 2017-2018 season, Korean Air reached the championship game and won its first championship.
In the 2020-2021 season, the team completed their first combined championship.

Hu In-jeong (52), manager of KB Insurance, said, “I am greedy to win, but I can’t win by greed alone. I will play volleyball to enjoy.”

KB Insurance ranked first in this category with 1.576 sub-aces per set in the regular league. He also pressured the opponent with a strong serve, such as scoring 12 serves in the PO with Korea Electric Power Corporation.
Korean Air ranked second in the regular league with a receiving efficiency of 34.75%. If Korean Air’s solid receive lines such as Oh Eun-ryeol, Kwak Seung-seok, and Jung Ji-seok withstand the sharp serve of KB Insurance, Korean Air can play the game more easily.
The performance of Keita Noumori (KB Insurance, registered name Keita), the best striker in the V-League, is also an important variable in winning or losing.
KB Insurance gave up the 1st set that Keita was sluggish in the PO, but as Keita recovered her performance, she won the 2nd, 3rd and 4th sets.
Keita recorded a 50.66% attack success rate in the regular league match once morest Korean Air.
Although it was lower than the overall regular league performance of 55.51%, it maintained an attack success rate of more than 50% while occupying a whopping 66.26% of attack share in the Korean Air Battle.
In order for Keita to be a little more free, the roles of native left Kim Jeong-ho and Han Seong-jeong are important.
Kim Jung-ho had a high attack success rate of 55.88% in the Korean Air battle. Han Seong-jeong’s attack success rate in the Korean Air War was 49.21%.
KB Insurance is ahead in the destructive power of foreign players, but Korean Air has more resources for native strikers.
Korean Air foreign striker Lincoln Williams (registered name Lincoln) raised the attack success rate to 57.33% once morest KB Insurance. The attack share was 38.21%.
Lim Dong-hyeok, who stepped on the court when Lincoln was sluggish, also recorded a 50% success rate with a 20.28% attack share in the KB Insurance match.
The national left left was also responsible for 27.26% of the attack in the KB Insurance match, maintaining a decent attack success rate of 47.66%.
Korean Air setter Han, who has a lot of experience in big games, is expected to shake the KB Insurance blocker and defense line with various attacks.
Taek-Eui Hwang, the setter of KB Insurance, who had his first postseason in this PO, presents a challenge with the precision technique using Keita.
In the regular league, Korean Air and KB Insurance faced 3 wins and 3 losses. He also played 3 full set battles.
Korean Air’s prestige and KB Insurance’s momentum collide in the championship game to determine who will take the throne for the 2021-2022 season.
