The results of salary adjustment applications filed by Lee Gwan-hee (38, Seoul Samsung) and Kim Dong-hyun (24, Busan KCC), who had been engaged in a tug-of-war with their respective teams over 2026-2027 season compensation, have been announced. The KBL Financial Committee sided with Lee Gwan-hee but rejected Kim Dong-hyun's application, accepting the team's proposed offer.
The KBL announced on the 28th at 2 p.m. that it held the 32nd session's first Financial Committee meeting and deliberated and decided on the salary adjustment applications of Lee Gwan-hee and Kim Dong-hyun. Previously, both players had applied for KBL mediation after failing to reach an agreement with their respective teams by the domestic player registration deadline for the 2026-2027 season.
According to the Financial Committee results released by the KBL, the fates of the two players diverged sharply. First, Seoul Samsung's veteran guard Lee Gwan-hee (38) secured a "judgment victory." In this negotiation, Lee Gwan-hee demanded 320 million won, while the team offered 230 million won, leaving a gap of 90 million won. After careful deliberation, the Financial Committee determined that the player's claim was reasonable and ultimately set his final salary at the 320th million won proposed by Lee Gwan-hee.
In contrast, Busan KCC's Kim Dong-hyun (24) saw the team's offer accepted as is. Kim Dong-hyun requested 120 million won, but the team countered with 75 million won. The Financial Committee concluded that the team's proposed amount was reasonable, finalizing Kim Dong-hyun's salary for the next season at the team's offer of 75 million won.
With this decision, the salary negotiation and compensation adjustment procedures for all KBL domestic players, who endured last-minute struggles ahead of the new season, have now reached their conclusion.
