The list of men’s free agents in the V League has been released. Veteran Korean Air setter Han is known as the biggest fish.
The Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) announced the list of men’s FA in the V League through a press release on the 5th. Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance had the largest number of five, and KB Insurance released three. KEPCO, Hyundai Capital, OK Financial Group, and Korean Air each had two. Jung Sung-kyu (26), who entered the free agent market for the first time in his life, is the only Woori Card.
According to KOVO, the announcement date was set on May 5, three days after the end of the men’s division. Three days ago, Korean Air beat OK Financial Group in its V-League championship match for the 2023-2024 season to achieve its first four-game winning streak in the men’s division.
The negotiation period is from today, the day of the announcement, to 6 p.m. on Saturday, two weeks after the announcement. The players who are protected are entitled to present themselves by 12 p.m. the day after the FA negotiations are over. The selection of players for compensation will end at 6 p.m. on Sunday.
The men’s division, like the women’s division, is divided into three FA groups. Group A has players whose annual salary exceeds 250 million won. If a player from Group A is recruited as a compensation method, the club will have to pay 200 percent of the entire season’s salary, one compensation player besides five protection players, and 300 percent of the entire season’s salary as transfer fees. The compensation method is decided by the original club.
Group B’s annual salary is between 100 million and 250 million won. The compensation method is 300% of the previous season’s annual salary. Group C is based on an annual salary of 100 million won or less. The compensation amount is 150% of the previous season’s annual salary. Neither group is obligated to pay compensation players.
One of the leading setters in the V-League enters the free agent market for the fourth time in his professional career (2013, 2018, 2021, 2024). A player who was drafted by Korean Air in the 2007-2008 draft continued his professional career with only one team.
This season, Han has played a part in Korean Air history. After achieving a dramatic regular-league win in the 2023-2024 season, Korean Air achieved a sweep against OK Financial Group in the championship game, becoming the unified champion. 토토사이트웹
