Busan KCC issued an official press release on the 28th and recruited Huh Hoon, the biggest FA player this season. It was announced that it is a five-year contract, the condition of 800 million won.
In the end, Huh Hoon decided to go to KCC, where his brother Heo Woong was.
Huh Hoon's move raised many questions.
Huh Hoon, who received an annual salary of 700 million won last season, is the best guard in the league. There were times when he was temporarily sluggish due to injuries early in the regular season, but he showed his true value in the playoffs. He showed an explosive scoring ability in the semi-final match against Daegu Gas Corporation and played his part in the semifinal match against Seoul SK.
Huh Hoon's trip to KCC has already been rumored since the regular league. However, it did not seem easy to recruit Huh Hoon from the perspective of KCC, which has four big players such as Huh Woong, Choi Joon-yong, Song Kyo-chang, and Lee Seung-hyun.
There was a salary cap problem, and if Huh Hoon was recruited, there was also a burden to give up one of the big four.
The FA market was opened, but there was no talk about KCC's recruitment of Huh Hoon.
KT, the original team, dismissed the general manager and manager, and put forward 'Winning unconditionally' as the cause. If you don't catch ace Heo Hun, is this justification an empty fire??He put his life and death into recruiting Heo Hoon.
Coach Moon Kyung-eun's first requirement, who took the helm, was also the recruitment of Huh Hoon.
KT made contact with Huh Hoon several times, but did not receive a cool answer. In the process, SK considered recruiting Huh Hoon, as it was not easy to sign a contract with franchise star Kim Sun-hyung.
However, KCC, who was working behind the scenes at the end, finally recruited Huh Hoon. KCC already brought Choi Jun-yong in this way two years ago.
With Huh Hoon's recruitment, KCC is aiming to win once again. KCC, which won the championship in the 2023-2024 season, was humiliated by the core's string injury last season, failing to advance to the semifinal playoff.
Head coach Jeon Chang-jin stepped down and head coach Lee Sang-min took the helm. KCC, which missed Jung Chang-young in the FA market this season, has fully upgraded its power itself by bringing in Choi Dae-eo Heo Hoon.
