Huh Hoon said in a phone call with this newspaper on the 28th that `In fact, Suwon KT has been really good for seven years. He also actively negotiated in this FA. "However, I was so desperate to win." I thought about which team, KT or KCC, would have a high probability of winning. There was also the influence of the older brother. In the end, he chose KCC."
Huh Hoon (29), the FA's biggest fish and the league's best ball handler, chose to go to KCC in Busan in a surprise move.
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 Heo Woong's KCC, where his brother belongs.
With Huh Hoon's recruitment, KCC emerged as the best candidate for next season. Huh Hoon and Huh Woong's backcourt team are top of the league. The front court that Song Kyo-chang, Choi Jun-yong, and Lee Seung-hyun endured is also a practical national team lineup.
However, since Heo Hoon was recruited, it has become important to organize. As FA compensation, you can choose 200% of annual salary or one compensation player (excluding three protected players) and 50% of annual salary.
The choice of KT, a club belonging to Huh Hoon's circle, has become important. Huh Hoon's annual salary last season is a whopping 700 million won. You can choose 1.4 billion won in cash, or you can receive 350 million won in cash with a reward player.
KCC General Manager Choi Hyung-gil said, `I wish KT would rather choose cash. I haven't thought about protective players yet."
Huh Hoon's trip to KCC didn't seem easy. The big four were already in place. There was a lot of pressure on Sally Lee Cap. It was not easy to recruit Huh Hoon, the league's highest ransom. However, KCC threw an FA offer to Huh Hoon on the 27th after much consideration, and allowed Huh Hoon, who needed to win. There was also a desire to play with his brother Hur Woong.
Huh Hoon said "A proposal came from KCC on the 27th. There was also a recommendation that my previous brother keep running with me. KT offered good conditions, but in the end, they chose KCC.
Initially, Seoul SK and KT had risen sharply about Huh Hoon's destination. SK said "I met with Huh, and I'm coordinating the conditions." However, Heo Hun has never met SK directly. We only talked once."
KCC, which surprisingly recruited Choi Joon-yong two years ago, brought Huh Hoon again this time.
