All the key figures behind Park Cheol-woo's magic, which led to a dramatic second-half turnaround in the V-League last season, have remained at Jangchung.

Seoul Woori Card WON Volleyball Team announced on the 24th that it has signed renewal contracts with all four internal free agents: Kim Young-jun, Park Jin-woo, Oh Jae-sung, and Lee Sang-hyun.

Veteran middle blocker Park Jin-woo (36) signed for a total compensation of 422 million won (base salary 350 million won, option 72 million won). Woori Card Volleyball Team stated, "We expect Park Jin-woo to continue playing a central role both on and off the court in the upcoming season."

Lee Sang-hyun (27), who drew significant interest in this FA market, signed for a total compensation of 602 million won (base salary 570 million won, option 350 million won). Woori Card classified Lee Sang-hyun as a future core player and retained him despite his scheduled enlistment in the Army Sports Promotion Team (Sangmu) on the 27th, which will prevent him from playing during the 2026-2027 season.

In the heated libero market, Woori Card focused on retaining its existing resources. Veteran libero Oh Jae-sung (34) signed for a total compensation of 422 million won (base salary 380 million won, option 422 million won), while Kim Young-jun (26) signed for a total compensation of 342 million won (base salary 310 million won, option 350 million won).

Woori Card Volleyball Team explained, "With both players remaining on the team, we expect the stability of the reception and defense line to become even more solid."

As a result, Woori Card was able to quickly finalize its internal free agents before training began and focus entirely on signing foreign players. Last season, after the third round concluded, the team switched to an interim head coach system under Park Cheol-woo and recorded 14 wins and 4 losses (win rate 77.7%). Once a team that had even shown signs of being in last place, it dramatically secured spring volleyball with an undefeated road record without any changes to its roster, earning the nickname "Park Cheol-woo Magic."

Building on that achievement, interim head coach Park Cheol-woo officially took office as the fifth commander of Woori Card. With members who experienced that sense of accomplishment gathering ahead of the May call-up, the team can now enter training with even stronger cohesion.

Woori Card Volleyball Team expressed its determination, stating, "By retaining all internal free agents, we have been able to maintain a stable roster. Based on our solid teamwork, we will show an even stronger performance next season."
