The professional volleyball V-League will end its short break and start the second half of the race tomorrow (7th).

Korean Air and Heungkuk Life Insurance have replaced foreign players and heralded a fiercer competition for the lead.

What to watch, reporter Lee Kyung-jae reports.

Hyundai Capital and Korean Air.

Heungkuk Life and Hyundai Engineering & Construction.

Korean Air and Heungkuk Life Insurance chose to change the structure of the two rivers in the first half of the year.

Korean Air chose Yosvani, a giant who returned from injury, instead of Maxim, who had a stable performance, and replaced Aref in the Asian quarter with Ryohay Rivero, who played for KEPCO last season.

In the first half, he lost three games to No. 1 Hyundai Capital.

This is because the points are also 10 points apart, putting the team on alert to win the integrated championship for the fifth consecutive year.

Heungkuk Life, which couldn't have been better with its opening 14 consecutive wins, then collapsed for three consecutive losses after Tutku's injury, urgently transfused Matteiko, a 197-cm-tall striker.

It is two points behind Hyundai Engineering & Construction, which is in second place.

The women's lead race is actually back on.

The battle for the third and fourth places, the spring volleyball Maginot line, is also expected to be fiercer.

In the men's category, KB Insurance, ranked third, is preparing for a stronger sensation by giving Afonso a new baton, while Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, ranked fifth, brought in Maxim from Korean Air to reinforce its offense.

In the women's division, third-ranked Jeong Kwan-jang and fourth-ranked IBK Industrial Bank, who finished the first half with eight consecutive wins, returned from injury in earnest, have power comparable to the leading team.
