giving away setter Kwak Myung-woo and receiving middle blocker Cha Young-seok and a first-round pick in the 2024-2025 rookie draft.
KOVO has not yet announced this trade, and OK Financial Group has requested KOVO to withdraw the trade announcement.
Kwak Myung-woo joined the OK Financial Group volleyball team as the first pick in the second round of the V-League rookie draft in the 2013-2014 season.
He played for only one team for 10 seasons,
contributing to the OK Financial Group volleyball team’s two consecutive championship wins in the 2014-2015 season and the 2015-2016 season.
In the 2023-2024 season, he participated in 34 games and 126 sets,
leading the OK Financial Group volleyball team to the championship match with stable game management.
However, he was found guilty by the court during the 2023-2024 season.
Even after the ruling, Kwak Myung-woo played in the game, and after the season ended, both clubs even pursued a trade.
The OK Financial Group club claimed that it only became aware of the fact that Kwak Myung-woo was on trial after the trade discussions had ended.
After confirming that Kwak Myung-woo had been punished by judicial authorities,
OK Financial Group withdrew the trade.
