Why is Go Hyojun a Yook Sung player? The inside story of the 100 million won development contract → Doosan has to wait for two weeks when it is urgent

Doosan announced on the 17th that it signed a contract with Ko Hyo-joon for a total of 100 million won (80 million won per year, 20 million won in incentives). Recruitment of a player in personal training without his team in the middle of the season means that he was in such a hurry. However, Doosan has to wait nearly two weeks to put Ko Hyo-joon in the real game.
Doosan had no choice but to sign a contract with Ko Hyo-joon as a nurturing player.
Ko Hyo-jun was 'released free agency'. After last season, SSG Landers did not include Ko Hyo-joon when submitting the list of players on hold. It is often described as being released.
Free agents are different from free agents. There are some kind of restrictions compared to players who have filled all service hours and qualified as FA.
The KBO League Code stipulates that the club cannot register a player who is not included in the list of players withheld under paragraph (1) as an affiliated player and a nurturing player for one year from the date of disclosure of the list of players withheld, and if a batting team other than the original club signs a player contract with the player, the club that signed the contract must register as a player by January 31st.
This means that the original team cannot sign a contract for at least one year for players released after the season. At the same time, if another team wants to officially use the player, it must be registered by Jan. 31.
In the case of Doosan and Ko Hyo-joon, only the 'cultivation player' contract was possible because January 31st has passed. Yook Sung- athletes will be able to register for the first team from May 1.
It's a very coincidental situation. If Ko Hyo-joon was the so-called 'FA Mia', he could play right in the first team. In addition, even if Ko Hyo-joon's contract was made after May 1, he can play in the first team immediately. Last year, Samsung's Song Eun-beom entered the first-team entry on July 31 after registering as a nurturing player on July 25.
However, Doosan is in a position that there is nothing urgent. Ko Hyo-joon recently showed off his strong performance by throwing 147 kilometers through a tryout test. However, his sense of play has become dull. Only individual training was conducted at the center. The process of playing in the Futures League game is necessary anyway.
