The Women's Professional Basketball (WKBL), which is about to end the regular league, has entered the final spurt of the individual title. In particular, the competition between Lee Hae-ran (23, Samsung Life Insurance) and Kim Dan-bi (36, Woori Bank) for the top scorer is developing into an ultra-close match of only 0.26 points.

The Korean Women's Basketball Federation announced the current status of individual title competition at the end of the BNK Financial 2025-2026 WKBL regular league on the 10th.

The most eye-catching part is the scoring category. Currently, Lee Hae-ran and Kim Dan-bi are in an all-time close race. According to the federation, Lee Hae-ran averaged 18.15 points as of the 10th, leading Kim Dan-bi by only 0.26 points.

If Lee Hae-ran wins the top spot until the end, he will write a milestone of winning the scoring award in five seasons after his tie-in debut in the shortest period in history with Park Ji-soo (KB Stars).

In the three-point field goal category, competition among players seeking their first career win is also tight. According to the federation's announcement, Lee Chae-eun (26, KB) is ranked first with a 39.81 percent success rate, while Onizuka Ayano (27, Woori Bank) is closely behind with 38.61 percent, 1.2 percent.

In the free projection category, Bae Hye-yoon (37, Samsung Life Insurance) ranks first with a 90.32 percent success rate. Bae Hye-yoon, who is trying to win her first statistical award in 18 years since her debut in the 2007-2008 season, is 1.8 percent ahead of her teammate Kang Yoo-rim (29).

Meanwhile, the Korean women's basketball team will head to Lyon, France, for its 17th consecutive FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup. South Korea was in Group B with France, Germany, Nigeria, Colombia and the Philippines in the final preliminary round starting on the 12th (Korea Standard Time). If the national team qualifies for the finals, it will build a golden tower of advancing to the World Cup finals for the first 17 consecutive times as an Asian country.
