The Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) announced the list of 17 players who received the FA qualification on Thursday. Veteran setter Han who led Korean Air to win the title, setter Kim Kwang-guk from KEPCO, setter Noh Jae-wook from Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, and Kim Myung-kwan from Hyundai Capital have received the FA qualification. Kim is an FA, but he will join the Korean military sports unit.
Han, who led Korean Air to its fourth consecutive win, is the highest paid player in the 2023-2024 season. Han signed the contract as the third FA in 2013, 2018 and 2021 with an annual salary of 750 million won and received 1.08 billion won including options last season. Attention is focusing on the extent to which Han, who was evaluated as a top-rated setter in the league, will receive compensation. The considerable age of those born in 1985 is bound to be a hindrance. The key is how much Korean Air, which is full of star players, will be able to control its salary cap.
Meanwhile, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance has the largest number of FA by team. A total of five players including Noh Jae-wook, outside heater Shin Jang-ho and Son Hyun-jong, middle blocker Son Tae-hoon and Jeon Jin-sun were released.
The FA negotiation period is from Friday to Sunday, and the scope of compensation varies depending on the player's grade. To recruit a player from Group A who has earned more than 250 million won (290,000 dollars) in annual salary, one of the five players other than the previous season's salary must be given as compensation, or compensation must be made to 300 percent of the previous season's salary.
If you sign a contract with a Group B FA that earns between 100 million won and 250 million won a year, you will be paid 300 percent of your entire season's salary. If you recruit a Group C FA that earns less than 100 million won a year, you can pay 150 percent of your entire season's salary.
Group A has five players (Han, Cha Ji-hwan, Kim Myung-kwan, Lee Simon and Noh Jae-wook) and Group B has 12 players (Oh Eun-ryul, Jeong Seong-gyu, Bu Yong-chan, Cha Young-seok, Kim Kwang-guk, Shin Jang-ho, Son Tae-hoon, Son Hyun-jong, Jeon Jin-sun, Kim Hong-jeong, Koreans, and Hong Sang-hyuk). Group C does not exist.
