According to a person familiar with KT's situation, KT and Kim Hyun-soo completed an agreement on the FA contract on the 25th. The terms of the contract are up to 5 billion won for three years.
KT suffered a lot in the FA market this time. Early on, he declared that he would catch big fish in the FA market. The ammunition was heavily loaded.
But it kept getting twisted. He sought to recruit Park Chan-ho, the biggest shortstop, but fell behind in the competition with the Doosan Bears. Park Chan-ho chose to go to Doosan on the condition of a four-year total of 8 billion won.
Next was Kang Baekho, 'House Rabbit'. KT fans believed that Kang Baek-ho would remain on the team if he did not go to the U.S. However, Kang Baek-ho chose a shocking transfer to the Hanwha Eagles on the condition of a four-year total of 10 billion won. KT also did its best until the end, but had to let Kang Baek-ho go.

The last remaining big fish was Kim Hyun-soo. One more local team was competing with the original team LG and the former Doosan Bears. There was also a scuffle between LG and agent Kim Hyun-soo. That's how long it took.
In the end, Kim Hyun-soo agonized over LG and KT for the last time. And I had my last meeting with LG last weekend. There was no conclusion at that time. At that point, the possibility of going to KT increased.
KT will be able to breathe by adding firepower to its central lineup and recruiting Kim Hyun-soo, who will demonstrate dugout leadership.
