Cheongju KB Kookmin Bank Stars veteran guard Yeom Yoon-ah (39) leaves the court.

KB Stars announced in a press release on the 20th that "Yum Yoon-ah's retirement ceremony will be held at 7 p.m. on the 27th against Yongin Samsung Life Insurance at Cheongju Gymnasium."

Yeom Yoon-ah, who made her professional debut in 2006, is a representative veteran guard of the league, which has continued to manage and grow steadily. Since moving to KB Stars in 2018, he has contributed to achieving two unified wins and has been at the center of the team until last season as captain.

Yeom Yoon-ah, who has solid defense and game management skills, has played a role as a housekeeper to save the team at every crisis. However, the injury suffered in the second half of last season was a drag. He has repeated surgery and painful rehabilitation processes several times to try to return, but eventually decided to end his career after much consideration.

Even after the retirement ceremony, Yeom Yoon-ah will accompany the team until the last schedule of this season and help her teammates as a mental support.

An official from KB Stars said, "Yum Yoon-ah is a player who has always devoted herself to fans and teams on and off the court. We plan to provide a meaningful place to support her new start with fans."

With three games left in the regular league, KB Stars will continue their fierce competition for the lead starting with the first game, which will resume on the 23rd after the break of the final qualifying round for the 2026 FIBA World Cup.
