Changwon LG is expected to apply for an annual salary adjustment with Jeon Sung-hyun. There is room for dialogue. But the situation is unusual. Some in the basketball world say that LG and Jeon Sung-hyun are likely to break up. It is said that Jeon Sung-hyun has requested a trade and is looking for a new team. An official from A said, `LG and Jeon Sung-hyun failed to reach an annual salary agreement. It is expected to apply for an annual salary adjustment. It has been reported that the two sides are also looking for a trade with the agreement of the two sides. However, there is only a lot of 'seol' to the end.
Then, in reality, is the Jeon Sung-hyun trade a possible option. Basketball officials take a bite and put a 'question mark' on it.
An official from B said "It doesn't seem easy to put it coldly. First of all, the ransom is too high. Even if the ransom is lowered by applying for an annual salary adjustment, the problem remains. It's chemistry with the team." Jeon Sung-hyun received 550 million won in the 2024-2025 season. It is the 10th highest paid record.
An official C said "I heard that Jeon Sung-hyun is looking for a new team. There is a real problem. If Jeon Sung-hyun applies for an annual salary adjustment, there is a possibility of a 50% cut. The ransom will fall to the level of 300 million won. In this case, there could be a possibility of a trade. However, most teams have set 'Salary Cap'. It's not easy to get a player at that price. "Basketball is a sport that requires personal skills, but basically, the team comes first. That part is also an important issue." The KBL salary cap in the 2025-206 season is 3 billion won.
A D official also said, `I've heard that a specific team has sought to trade Jeon Sung-hyun. But all this is likely to be confirmed after the application for a salary adjustment`"As Jeon Sung-hyun has not played in a while, he does not know the exact physical condition. He also failed to play in the championship game. There is also no clear reason why LG did not take the opportunity. If necessary, LG clubs and players will actively explain. It will not be easy to make a trade based on one's past reputation."
