Professional basketball veteran shooter Bae Byeong-jun (36) will wear the Ulsan Hyundai Mobis uniform.

The KBL announced on the 4th that "the deadline for submitting expressions of interest for 2026 free agent (FA) acquisitions has closed."

As a result of the expression of interest submissions conducted until noon today, among the 23rd FA players who did not sign contracts during the autonomous negotiation period, three players — Moon Si-yoon, Bae Byeong-jun, and Choi Seung-wook — received expressions of interest. Moon Si-yoon received an expression of interest from Changwon LG, Bae Byeong-jun from Hyundai Mobis, and Choi Seung-wook from Daegu Korea Gas Corporation, respectively.

According to the KBL, Moon Si-yoon was offered a salary of 42 million won by LG. Bae Byeong-jun was offered a salary of 120 million won and incentives of 20 million won by Hyundai Mobis, and Choi Seung-wook was offered a salary of 45 million won by Korea Gas Corporation.

The contract period for all three players is one year. The KBL explained, "All three players received expressions of interest from a single team and must sign a contract with that team in accordance with FA regulations."

Bae Byeong-jun, who has a good physique at 189cm and possesses three-point shooting ability, left Anyang Jeonggwanjang last year to wear the Changwon LG uniform. However, he failed to establish himself at LG and played only 13 regular-season games. He now aims to restore his reputation with Hyundai Mobis.

Forward Moon Si-yoon, who played for Goyang Sono, appeared in five regular-season games during the 2025-2026 season. Another forward, Choi Seung-wook, played for Seoul Samsung until last year. He has returned to the professional stage after overcoming a one-year gap.

Meanwhile, the 20th FA players who did not receive expressions of interest will negotiate with their original teams from the 5th to the 8th for four days.
