The Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) released the results of free agent contracts on the afternoon of the 17th, when the 2024 V-League women’s free agent (FA) market closed.

Outside heater Kang So-hwi, who attracted attention as the ‘biggest fish’ even before the free agent market opened, left GS Caltex and transferred to Korea Expressway Corporation, signing a three-year contract worth 2.4 billion won.

Kang So-hwi can receive up to 800 million won per year (annual salary 500 million won, option 300 million won) for three years.

This is a new salary record for the women’s division, surpassing the 775 million won of Kim Yeon-kyung (Heungkuk Life Insurance) and Park Jeong-ah (Pepper Savings Bank), who were the highest earners in the 2023-2024 season, by 25 million won.

IBK Industrial Bank simultaneously recruited outside hitter Lee So-young and middle blocker Joo-ah Lee.

Lee So-young receives a total annual salary of 700 million won (annual salary 450 million won, options 250 million won), and Joo-ah Lee receives a total annual salary of 400 million won (annual salary 330 million won, options 70 million won) for three years.

Libero Han Da-hye, who played for GS Caltex, transferred to Pepper Savings Bank, and outside heater Eun-ji Choi transferred to Heungkuk Life Insurance.
