A total of 58 players submitted applications for the draft, including 56 high school graduates, one university student, and one from the unemployment team.
The application list includes Lee Ji-yoon (MB, JoongAng Girls' High School), Park Yeoreum (OH, JoongAng Girls' High School), and Choi Yoon-young (S, Ilshin Girls' High School), who participated in the 2025 International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) U-21 World Championship.
Based on the reverse order of last season's final rankings, this year's draft nomination order selects players through a probability lottery of 35% Pepper Savings Bank, 30% GS Caltex, 20% Korea Expressway Corporation, 8% IBK Industrial Bank, 4% Hyundai Engineering & Construction, 2% Jeonggwanjang, and 1% Heungkuk Life.
Meanwhile, Heungkuk Life Insurance's first round nomination will be exercised by Pepper Savings Bank. This is because Pepper Savings Bank handed over the second round of the rookie draft to Heungkuk Life Insurance in June 2024 with setter Lee Go-eun and the first round of the 2025-2026 season. Therefore, Pepper Savings Bank can select two players in the first round and Heungkuk Life Insurance can select two players in the second round.
The draft will be delivered through Naver's online live broadcast.
