KBL decides not to hold 'Lee Dae-seong Finance Committee' requested by Korea Gas Corporation

Blog Article

KBL decided not to hold a financial committee meeting for Lee Dae-seong (Samsung), who caused great controversy

during the transfer process. He concluded that there was no need to look into the possibility of violation of regulations in

detail.

KBL announced on the 4th, "Regarding Lee Dae-sung's free agency, we reviewed the matter following Daegu Korea Gas

Corporation's application to hold a financial committee and found that the conditions for referral to the financial

committee were not met."

On the 24th of last month, Korea Gas Corporation sent an official letter to KBL, requesting that the Finance Committee be

officially opened.

Lee Dae-seong, a former national team guard, demanded that we look into three aspects in the process of signing a

contract with Seoul Samsung in this free agent market.

The three items mentioned by Korea Gas Corporation in the official document were 'prior contact', 'violation of interests',

and 'violation of good faith and defamation'.

Korea Gas Corporation has strongly suspected that there may have been prior contact between Lee Dae-seong and

Samsung, which is prohibited by KBL.

In fact, some have raised suspicions that since Lee Dae-seong is close to coach Kim Hyo-beom, who became the official

head coach of Samsung last April, he agreed to go to Samsung early on and then acted as if he was waiting for a proposal

from Korea Gas Corporation.

In relation to this, Dae-seong Lee held a press conference and said, "At the time of receiving the offer (from Samsung), in

fact, (until the contract with Shihoshi Mikawa was terminated), (the club) could not make an official offer, and opinions

and such aspects were not allowed. “I’m close with director Kim Hyo-beom, so I feel comfortable with him and I don’t

think there were any major problems, to the point where I knew him without him saying anything,” he said.

Regarding his future, he explained that he had the same mindset as Manager Kim, who belongs to the same management

company, and that he received the club's official offer and started negotiations after ending his relationship with Mikawa.

In addition, Korea Gas Corporation believed that Lee Dae-seong had broken mutual trust as he had planned a club

management strategy believing that he had announced that he would challenge overseas leagues for at least two years.

However, through the decision not to hold a financial committee meeting, KBL is interpreted to have determined that

there were no specifically confirmed 온라인카지노 'illegal matters' in any of the three cases.

In order for prior contact to be clearly recognized, 'evidence' that the contract details were clearly discussed and

recruitment was sought is required, but since KBL is not an investigative agency, it appears that it was not easy to secure

this.

KBL also decided not to look into the allegations that Lee Dae-seong broke his 'trust' with Korea Gas Corporation.

Since Lee Dae-sung completed his contract with Korea Gas Corporation and became a free agent, it is interpreted that

from this point on, the relationship between the two sides was 'former team-former player' and not a team-player

relationship subject to KBL regulations. .

Lee Dae-seong, who played in the Japanese league in the 2023-2024 season, saying he wanted growth and challenge,

signed a two-year contract with Samsung on the 21st of last month with a total compensation of 600 million won in the

first year. This is his return to Korea after a year of challenging himself in a foreign league.

Korea Gas Corporation claims that out of respect for Lee Dae-sung's will to take on the challenge, it did not withhold the

player's rights through arbitrary termination or other methods, but completely released him as a free agent.

If Lee Dae-sung had transferred to a domestic club last year, Korea Gas Corporation could have received compensation

equivalent to 200% of his compensation (KRW 1.1 billion) or a bundle of compensation player and compensation (KRW

275 million).
