On the 22nd, at the final third round of the KLPGA Tour Daebo House D Open (total prize money 1 billion KRW) held at Seowon Valley Country Club in Paju, Gyeonggi Province (par 72, 6,792 yards), she shot 4-under par to secure a 2-stroke victory (9-under par 207). This marked her first time reaching the top since debuting on the regular tour in 2022. The winner's prize was 180 million KRW.

Mun Jeong-min started tied for the lead with Ji Han-sol by 2 strokes, recording 7 birdies and 3 bogeys. After a slow start losing one stroke over the first six holes, she changed the momentum with 'stepping stone birdies' on holes 7 and 9, then took the lead on the leaderboard with consecutive birdies on holes 11 and 12. Although she lost the birdie gained on hole 14 with a bogey on hole 15 (both par 4s), she reduced one more stroke on hole 16 (par 5), moving into a 3-stroke lead and effectively 'reserving' her victory.

Mun Jeong-min was last year’s KLPGA Dream Tour money leader. She had one top 10 finish each in the past two years. This year, before winning this tournament, she had three top 10 finishes, including a tie for 5th at the Doosan Match Play, and 6th place finishes at the Doosan Construction We’ve Championship and the BC Card·Hankyung Ladies Cup.

Ji Han-sol finished with 2-under par, settling for a tie for 2nd place (7-under par 209). Lee Jun also joined this group. Lee Ye-won made a strong showing with a 5-under par round, finishing tied for 4th place (6-under par 210). Jang Soo-yeon and Kim Su-ji also joined the group tied for 4th. Lee Seung-yeon placed 7th (5-under par 211), while Yoo Hyun-jo, Lee Dong-eun, and Hong Hyun-ji tied for 8th place (4-under par 212). Park Ji-young finished tied for 15th (1-under par 215), and defending champion Park Joo-young ended the tournament tied for 27th (even par 216).
