At the end of November 2024, Uijeongbu Gymnasium was immediately discontinued as a result of a detailed diagnosis under the Facility Safety Act. In consultation with Uijeongbu City and Kyungmin University, the KB Volleyball Team successfully finished the season by setting up an alternative home stadium as the Kyungmin University Memorial Hall and creating it in accordance with the standards of the professional volleyball stadium.
For the 2025-2026 season, the renovation of Uijeongbu Gymnasium was scheduled to be completed in September 2025, but the reopening schedule was delayed after the first half of next year due to the delay in deliberation on the roof reinforcement design. As a result, KB Volleyball faced the difficulty of closing its home stadium for two consecutive seasons, but it agreed with Uijeongbu City to play home games within its home base to keep its promise to realize the club's core values of 'Fan First' and 'Respect Trust' and impress fans.
Uijeongbu City decided that Kyungmin University, which was an alternative home stadium in the 2024-2025 season, was the most realistic alternative and held discussions with Kyungmin University on renting a gym. Kyungmin University also experienced a positive synergy effect by hosting KB Volleyball Team's home game last season, and appreciated the increase in school awareness and the performance of community contributions. Based on this positive evaluation, the government readily accepted Uijeongbu's request and decided to provide the Kyungmin University Memorial as an alternative home stadium for the KB Volleyball Team in the 2025-2026 season.
An official from the KB Volleyball Team said, `We are sorry for the inconvenience caused to home fans due to the delay in the reopening of the Uijeongbu Gymnasium. We will prepare for the home game in time for the opening schedule"I am grateful to Kyungmin University for its active cooperation with Uijeongbu City for searching for an alternative stadium."
An official from Kyungmin University also said, `We are happy to host the KB Volleyball Team's home game again, and we will support the KB Volleyball Team as much as possible to continue the myth of 'Gyeongmin Undefeated' in the 2025-2026 season"I promised.
