Kim Sun-hyung (37) will wear the KT uniform.
Suwon KT announced on the 28th that "we signed a contract with Kim Sun-hyung for a period of 3 years, with the total aggregate of 800 million won for the first year."
Initially, KT prioritized re-signing internal free agent and top player Heo Hoon. However, confusion arose when Heo Hoon suddenly announced on the 28th that he was joining KCC. But the response was quick.
Initially reported to be heading to DB, KT entered the acquisition battle late regarding Kim Sun-hyung. The ample funds prepared to secure Heo Hoon and the favorable influence of coach Moon Kyung-eun, who was his mentor during his time at SK, played a beneficial role. Ultimately, Kim Sun-hyung signed with KT in just one day.
Kim Sun-hyung said, "I am very happy to meet coach Moon Kyung-eun again. I appreciate KT for recognizing my value. I will do my best to lead the team to the top with the existing players while targeting the championship."
Although they missed out on Heo Hoon, KT re-signed free agent Han Hee-won for a period of 3 years, with 350 million won for the first year. Jeong Chang-young, a member of the KCC championship team, also transferred to KT for 200 million won and a contract period of 2 years.
KT boasts a strong domestic player base with Kim Sun-hyung, Moon Seong-gon, Ha Yoon-ki, and Moon Jeong-hyun. If the selection of foreign players goes well, they will be strong championship contenders.
