Busan OK Savings Bank has secured two key players.

OK Savings Bank announced on the 20th that it has signed libero Kim Do-hoon (28), who obtained free agent (FA) status. Kim Do-hoon signed a contract with a total compensation of 250 million won (base salary 200 million won, option 0.5 billion won). The club also re-signed Park Chang-seong (28), who has been a starting middle blocker, to a contract with a total compensation of 550 million won (base salary 500 million won, option 0.5 billion won).

Kim Do-hoon, who was selected as the first pick in the third round of the 2020 rookie draft by KB Insurance, served as the starting libero for the 2025-2026 season, demonstrating stable defensive skills. He ranked fifth in reception (reception efficiency 37.18%) and fifth in dig (1.971 successful digs per set), earning praise for his outstanding performance in both reception and dig, proving he is fully capable as a starting libero.

OK Savings Bank expects that Kim Do-hoon's addition will deepen the depth of its libero position while further strengthening defensive stability. With Kim Do-hoon, who is entering his prime, joining the veteran-centered existing libero lineup, the team has built a more energetic defensive unit and is expected to play a crucial role in the upcoming generational transition of the libero position.

Park Chang-seong, who was selected as the third pick in the first round of the same year's rookie draft by OK Savings Bank, has established himself as the starting middle blocker for the OK Savings Bank volleyball team since the 2024-2025 season. During the 2025-2026 season, he continued his upward trajectory by recording career highs in points (249 points) and attack success rate (58.85%), and has also been named to the national team.

Park Chang-seong's retention has added stability to OK Savings Bank's central lineup for the upcoming season. With his tall stature, he possesses not only blocking and attacking skills but also a sharp float serve, making him a key resource for future team operations.

Shin Young-cheol, head coach of OK Savings Bank, stated, "Kim Do-hoon is a young player who can bring new energy to the team, equipped with well-rounded reception and dig skills. We expect him to be a great asset in managing the libero position in the future." He added, "Park Chang-seong is a player who shoulders both the present and future of our team, capable of performing a definitive role in the center. He will be a significant help to the team's lineup for the upcoming season."

Kim Do-hoon, who has joined OK Savings Bank, expressed, "I am happy to start anew with OK Eumman Volleyball Team, and I am grateful to the club for recognizing my value. I will do my best to help OK Eumman Volleyball Team go beyond spring volleyball and achieve even more in the upcoming season."

Park Chang-seong, who will continue his career as a "one-club man" through re-signing, said, "I am delighted to continue playing with OK Eumman Volleyball Team. Since we successfully launched the 'Busan OK' era last season, I will do my utmost to contribute from the center of the team moving forward."
