The men's professional volleyball team OK Savings Bank designated outside hitter Kim Jeong-ho (29) as the free agent (FA) compensation player for Lee Min-gyu (34), who left for KEPCO.

On the 30th, the OK Savings Bank club stated, "With Kim Jeong-ho joining, we have added depth to our outside hitters. Given his strength in serving, we expect him to fill in some of the areas where the team was somewhat lacking last season."

Kim Jeong-ho, who will now wear the OK Savings Bank uniform, was selected in the second round, fourth pick of the 2017 men's rookie draft by Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, making his V-League debut. He later played for KB Insurance and Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance before joining KEPCO, and is now set to play for OK Savings Bank in the new season.

Last season, Kim Jeong-ho appeared in 34 games, recording 380 points, ranking 15th in that category. He also posted an attack success rate of 11th (43.68%) and ranked 8th in serves (0.314 per game).

Through the club, Kim Jeong-ho said, "I will do my part to help the team win the championship. I am also looking forward to receiving the enthusiastic support of Busan fans, which was impressive last season. I will live up to those expectations."

OK Savings Bank head coach Shin Young-cheol said, "He is a player with great momentum and clear strengths," and added, "He will be a significant asset to the team's roster in the upcoming season."

Meanwhile, Lee Min-gyu, who joined OK Savings Bank in 2013 and remained with the club until last season as a one-club man, established a new home at KEPCO through an FA transfer on the 22nd.
