Pyo Seung-ju (34) will wear the Heungkuk Life uniform following a sign-and-trade deal. Jeong Kwanjang has signed re-contracts with internal free agents (FA) Yeom Hye-seon (35) and Lee Seon-woo (24).

Jeong Kwanjang announced on the 21st that it has finalized contracts with veteran setter Yeom Hye-seon and outside hitter Lee Seon-woo. Yeom Hye-seon, who has now signed her fifth FA contract, stated, "I will do my best to overcome last season's slump and contribute to the team's playoff qualification and restoration of honor." Lee Seon-woo, who has earned FA eligibility for the first time, also expressed his intention to repay the expectations of fans as a franchise player.

Outside hitter Pyo Seung-ju, who declared his retirement from active duty after failing to reach an FA agreement following the end of last season, will return to the court just one year later after joining the Heungkuk Life Pink Spiders immediately after signing with Jeong Kwanjang. Pyo Seung-ju's contract terms amount to a total of 200 million won (annual salary of 160 million won and an option of 40 million won).

Pyo Seung-ju was selected as the first overall pick in the 2010–11 rookie draft and has played for Korea Expressway Corporation, GS Caltex, IBK Industrial Bank of Korea, and Jeong Kwanjang as a veteran. It is reported that he has solidified his resolve to return to active duty through activities as a commentator and appearances on the TV program "Rookie Director Kim Yeon-koung" over the past year.

Meanwhile, Heungkuk Life continued its efforts to strengthen its roster by acquiring top FA target Jung Ho-young and Asia quota player Justine Yaucci during the off-season, and has now added Pyo Seung-ju to its ranks.
