Park Jeong-ah (30), one of the largest free agent players, has transferred to Pepper Savings Bank. Pepper Savings Bank has signed FA contracts with a total of four people.
Pepper Savings Bank said, “I signed with Park Jung-ah for a total of 775 million won (475 million won in salary, 300 million won in incentives) per year, including annual salary and incentives. The contract period is three years.” This is the maximum amount a V-League women’s player can receive in one season.
Park Jung-ah is currently one of the best strikers in Korea. She was nicknamed ‘Clutch Pak’ for her trouble shooting, especially in her winning spots or important matches. In 2017-18, she was voted MVP of the championship and won the league’s best 7 four times. She showed some ups and downs with a total of 308 points in rounds 1-4, but survived with 218 points in rounds 5-6. She also played a big role in this postseason, leading Korea Expressway Corporation to win the second championship match in her career.
Park Jung-ah said, “I thought it was the last chance to take on a new challenge in my volleyball life.”
Aachen Kim Pepper Savings Bank’s new head coach said, “I thought Park Jung-ah would be a very important key in our team, and he is very happy to finally be a part of the team.”
Pepper Savings Bank, which joined as the youngest club in the 2021-22 season and ended up at the bottom for two consecutive years, reinforced its strength through an FA contract in addition to Park Jung-ah.
KGC Ginseng Corporation’s outside heater Chae Seon-ah (31) signed a contract of 100 million won per year (annual salary 90 million won, incentive 10 million won) for 3 years, a total of 300 million won.
In addition, internal free agent outside heater Lee Han-bi (27) combined annual salary and incentives with a total of 1.06 billion won over 3 years (total annual salary of 800 million won), and libero Oh Ji-young (35) with a total of 1 billion won over 3 years (700 million annual salary, 3 incentives) billion) and completed the renewal of the contract. 메이저놀이터
The club said, “The retention of Oh Ji-young and Lee Han-bi is very important in terms of laying the foundation for the team’s future, and with Chae Sun-ah joining, we can add veteran leadership and strengthen the team’s ball control ability.”
Lee Han-bi said, “I met Pepper Savings Bank and got another chance, and I was able to play volleyball happily even though it was difficult. I think it’s another chance in my life.” Oh Ji-young said, “I am really grateful to the club for taking care of me so that I could remain at Pepper Savings Bank on good terms in a situation where I might be the last free agent. I will try to become a player,” he said.
Pepper Savings Bank said, “We have finalized the recruitment of players in the FA market.”
