Yongin Samsung Life and Bucheon Hana Bank have executed a one-on-one trade that includes a rookie player draft pick right.

The WKBL (Korean Women's Basketball League) announced on the 18th via a press release that Samsung Life and Hana Bank have agreed to a mutual trade including the 2026~2027 WKBL rookie player draft pick rights, which will be held on the 19th.

Through this trade, Samsung Life has brought back guard Kim Soo-in, who retired after the end of the 2024~2025 season and was playing for the corporate team Sascheon City Hall, and transferred her to Hana Bank. In return, Hana Bank agreed to hand over the 3rd overall pick in the 2nd round of the 2026~2027 WKBL rookie player draft to Samsung Life.

With the acquired draft right, Samsung Life will be able to exercise two picks in total—the 1st and 3rd picks—in this year's 2nd round of the draft.

Kim Soo-in, who will now wear the Hana Bank uniform, is an alumna of Sungui Girls' High School. She joined Samsung Life as the 3rd overall pick (9th overall) in the 2nd round during the 2023~2024 WKBL rookie player selection process. She has appeared in 25 career games, averaging 0.8 points, 0.5 rebounds, and 0.3 assists.
