Why did Pyo Seung-joo end the FA negotiations as an unregistered contractor.

The Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) officially announced the results of the 2025 Women's Free Agent (FA) negotiation contract on the 24th.

A total of 14 women's players qualified for FA, with 13 completing the contract and only one ticket winner failing to sign the contract. Pyo Seung-joo, a veteran outside heater born in 1992, played as Jeong Kwan-jang's main outside heater in the 2024-2025 season and played an active role as the team's rising star.




Jeong Kwan-jang named Pyo Seung-joo as a compensation player for FA Lee So-young. I knew I would be an FA after one season, but I also knew I could play one season and leave, but I recognized his ability and boldly selected him.

It was a huge success. As Pyo Seung-joo did bad things at the outside heater position like Altoran, the twin guns such as Mega and Bukirich were able to concentrate on the attack with confidence.

Jeong Kwan-jang won the runner-up prize unfortunately, but achieved better-than-expected results. Of course, Pyo Seung-joo was expected to be treated well.




However, he became an unregistered contractor. You can't sign with any team this season. He is in his mid-30s, in fact, in retirement.

Why was this decision made. First of all, the articles of association wanted Pyo Seung-ju. He persuaded him right before the deadline on the 24th. But Pyo Seung-joo's mind has not changed. An official of the articles of association said "From the time Pyo Seung-joo came to our team, the dilemma was that he had to live a 'divide family' life. I've moved away from home. However, for the club that named him a reward player, he said he would do his best for one season and think about the next" he said.

Pyo Seung-joo wanted to join the club in the Seoul metropolitan area, which is close to the main house. However, it was inevitable that it would take a compensation issue to take a veteran player. The articles of association also tried to push for sign-and-trade, but the opponent's card did not fit.




The only way to continue his career is to remain in the articles of association. Pyo Seung-joo eventually made a big decision. Before I was a volleyball player, I had to prepare to be a mother. The timing of childbirth is also known to have affected the choice.

Meanwhile, Yang Hyo-jin, who remained at Hyundai E&C, recorded the highest amount by signing a total of 800 million won, including 500 million won in annual salary and 300 million won in options. Lee Da-hyun, who transferred from Hyundai Engineering & Construction to Heungkuk Life Insurance, signed for 550 million won.

Of the 13 players, only Lee Da-hyun and Ko Ye-rim are transfers. Ko Ye-rim signed a contract for 370 million won when she transferred from Hyundai Engineering & Construction to Pepper Savings Bank.
