Hwaseong IBK Altos (Korean: 화성 IBK 기업은행 알토스) is a South Korean women's professional volleyball team founded in 2011 making it the youngest team in the league. In the 2012−13 V-League season, just one year after the team was founded, the club won both the regular season title, having won 25 out of 30 regular season games, and its first championship. The club became the first Korean professional sports team to win a championship title on just their second season. Since then, the Altos have won two more league titles, in 2013-14 and 2015-16 seasons and a championship title in the 2014-15 season. They are based in Hwaseong and are members of the Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO). Their home stadium is Hwaseong Gymnasium in Hwaseong.
