Bucheon Hana Bank's momentum is scary. Hana Bank, which has been making a splash by recording all five games in the third round, has faced a double celebration, producing both round MVP (best player) and MIP (Technology Development Award).

The WKBL (Korea Women's Basketball Federation) announced the results of the third round MVP and MIP voting for the "flex 2025-2026 Women's Professional Basketball" on the 19th. As a result of the vote, Jinan (30), who is in charge of Hana Bank's basketball, was selected as the MVP. In addition, Park So-hee (23), who showed explosive growth on the outskirts, took the MIP.

Jinan won 30 votes in the MVP selection by media reporters (a total of 77 votes), beating Kim Sonia (BNK Sum, 18 votes) and Park So-hee (Hana Bank, 15 votes).

Jinan averaged 16.0 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 3.0 assists during five games in the third round, driving Hana Bank's victory in all five games in the third round. In particular, in a match against his former team BNK Sum on the 14th, he delivered eight assists, the most in a single game in his personal history, showing off his appearance as a "control tower." This is Jinan's third round MVP award.

Park So-hee won the MIP (Technology Development Award), which is determined by voting for the WKBL referee and the game team. Park So-hee enjoyed the joy of her first round of MIP, receiving overwhelming support of 32 out of a total of 36 votes.
