With Incheon Korean Air enjoying the joy of winning in the men's professional volleyball division, attention is now shifting to the free agent market.

The Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) announced on the 13th the list of 16 players who qualified for the 2026 men's FA.

These players can freely set up a negotiation table with all clubs for two weeks from this day until 6 p.m. on the 26th without a negotiation period.

After that, the FA recruitment club's presentation of protected players will be completed by noon on the 27th, and the deadline for selecting compensation players for the original club will be completed by 6 p.m. on the 30th.

The level of compensation varies by group. Clubs that recruit A group players with a base annual salary of 250 million won or more must compensate the original team for 200% of the previous season's annual salary and one player other than five protected players, or pay 300% of the previous season's annual salary as transfer fees. The method of compensation can be chosen by the original team.

If a group B with a basic annual salary of less than 100 million won to less than 250 million won and a group C player with less than 100 million won are recruited, they will be replaced with 300% and 150% of the previous season's annual salary, respectively, without compensation players.

The most eye-catching thing is Hyundai Capital's Heo Soo-bong (28). In order to recruit him, who received an annual salary of 800 million won last season, a transfer fee of 1.6 billion won and a compensation player or 2.4 billion won are required. Although it is burdensome, it is also a card that can achieve solid power reinforcement as it is the best outside heater in Korea.

There are 12 A group players who can receive compensation players, including Heo Soo-bong, Cho Jae-young (Korean Air), Hwang Seung-bin (Hyundai Capital), Park Jin-woo, Oh Jae-sung, Lee Sang-hyun (Woori Card), Ha Seung-woo (Korea Electric Power Corp.), Jung Sung-hyun, Lee Min-kyu, Park Chang-sung (OK Savings Bank), Lee Sang-wook and Kim Woo-jin (Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance).

By team, Woori Card had the largest number of four, followed by OK Savings Bank, Korean Air, Hyundai Capital, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, and Korea Electric Power Corp. with two, and KB Insurance with one.
