Wonju DB Promy continues its partnership with Jeong Hyo-geun (33), an internal free agent (FA) and the team's key big man.

Wonju DB officially announced on the 30th that it has re-signed Jeong Hyo-geun to a two-year contract with a total compensation of 360 million won.

Debuting in the professional league as the third overall pick in the first round of the 2014 rookie draft, Jeong Hyo-geun has appeared in 456 career games over 10 seasons, averaging 8.5 points and 4.3 rebounds. He is a veteran forward who particularly excelled last season, averaging 9.5 points and 5.5 rebounds, playing a pivotal role as a core member of the team and making significant contributions to leading Wonju DB to a third-place finish in the regular season.

After re-signing, Jeong Hyo-geun expressed, "I am truly happy to be able to play again with good teammates. Especially, I am so happy to continue playing basketball in front of 'Windy' fans who have always supported and cheered for us," showing deep affection for the fans. He added, "I will do my best next season to help the team achieve even better results," reaffirming his determination.

Head coach Lee Gyu-seop also expressed high expectations for Jeong Hyo-geun's continued presence. Coach Lee stated, "Jeong Hyo-geun is a big man with many strengths. Now, as a veteran, we expect him to firmly anchor the team's core," conveying his trust.

Furthermore, Coach Lee emphasized, "I sincerely thank the club for successfully concluding not only the re-signings of key internal FA players but also the re-signings of Henry and Albano, as well as external acquisitions. With the team's roster now solidly built, we will repay the fans' support with excellent results in the upcoming season."

Meanwhile, Wonju DB is enjoying a productive off-season by simultaneously securing internal players and acquiring external talent. Following successful re-signings of internal core resources Jeong Hyo-geun and Choi Sung-won, the team has further strengthened its roster by making surprise acquisitions of Lee Yoon-ki and Jo Eun-hoo in the external FA market. It is expected that Wonju DB, having built a solid team, will create a significant impact in the upcoming new season.
