This season, the only men's professional basketball finance committee was held to adjust the salary. It was Jeonggwanjang and Bae Byeong-jun.

Jeong Kwan-jang offered 200 million won (190 million won per year, 10 million won in incentives), and Bae Byung-joon wanted 280 million won (260 million won per year, 20 million won in incentives).

In the end, the KBL Finance Committee ruled in favor of the chairman of the articles of association. Bae's annual salary was set at 200 million won.

KBL held the 30th First Finance Committee on the 16th. The agenda was the application for remuneration adjustment by the articles of association and Bae Byung-joon.

June 28, the deadline for player registration, was the deadline for salary negotiations. SK Ahn Young-joon and Jeong Kwan-jang Bae Byung-joon failed to reach an agreement with their teams. However, through further negotiations, SK reached an agreement with Ahn Young-joon on an annual salary of 500 million won.

However, Jeong Kwan-jang and Bae Byung-joon ran parallel.

Bae Byung-joon qualified as an FA last year. He renewed his contract with the articles of association for three years and an annual salary of 200 million won. He played in 36 games last season, averaging 25 minutes and 8 seconds, scoring 9.1 points and 1.8 assists.

Based on Bae's reduced number of games (36 games) and poor team performance (9th), Jeong Kwan-jang presented Bae's salary as a freeze.

On the other hand, Bae insisted on career-high average scores and the number of 3-pointers as the basis for his salary increase. However, it was Bae Byung-joon's apparent claim, and there were two more reasons behind it. First of all, during the FA contract process last season, Bae agreed very easily with Jeong Kwan-jang. There was a club that gave love calls with a higher salary, but Bae Byung-joon chose to stay in the articles of association. The ransom of semi-class FA has jumped sharply this season. Players with similar performances to Bae Byung-joon signed contracts with an annual salary of 300 to 400 million won. Bae Byung-joon wanted Jeong Kwan-jang to 'Jamjak' about this. However, Jeong Kwan-jang applied performance based on last season's salary.

Regarding the reason for favoring the articles of association, the Finance Committee comprehensively reviewed the data prepared by both sides and the contents of the clarification. Bae Byung-joon played fewer games than in the previous season. It also considered the remuneration efficiency compared to the results of the remuneration negotiations for the athletes of the articles of association."
