Goyang Sono Skygunners took the first step to strengthen their roster in the free agent (FA) market.

The Goyang Sono organization officially announced on the 26th via official materials that "we have signed guard So Jun-hyeok (24), who delivered a breakout performance last season." The contract terms are for a three-year term with a total compensation of 80 million won in the first year.

According to the organization, So Jun-hyeok, the first FA selection for Sono, is expected to serve as a reliable backup resource to alleviate the physical burden on the team's core guards, Lee Jung-hyun (27) and Lee Jae-do (34).

A graduate of Myongji University, So Jun-hyeok made his professional debut after being selected 10th overall in the second round of the 2024 KBL Rookie Draft by Anyang Jung-gwanjang. Despite being in his debut season, he appeared in 41 games, averaging 8 minutes and 11 seconds per game, and recorded a 33.3% three-point shooting percentage and a 62.1% two-point shooting percentage, demonstrating efficient and solid performance in a short amount of time.

Sono head coach Son Chang-hwan expressed high expectations for So Jun-hyeok's determination and outside shooting. Coach Son praised him, saying, "He has shooting ability and his hustle play on the court was impressive," and added, "He will definitely raise the team's energy level on defense and provide significant help."

So Jun-hyeok, who is making his first move since his professional debut, also conveyed his firm resolve through the organization. So Jun-hyeok stated, "After receiving an offer from Sono, which was a team full of emotion and a storm, I signed without hesitation, and I am happy to join. I will do my best to pour my passion and effort into helping the team. I will also strive to achieve personal growth, so please keep an eye on me."

By signing So Jun-hyeok, Sono has deepened its guard depth but is not satisfied with this alone and intends to continue monitoring the "air conditioner league." A Sono official said, "We are closely watching the FA market to strengthen our roster for the next season," leaving open the possibility of additional signings.
