After signing the FA contract, Kim Sung-wook said, "I'm happy to continue to be with NC. It took some time to sign the contract, but the club contacted me immediately after applying for the FA and continued to communicate afterwards to negotiate without hurry. Thanks to the club's consideration, I was able to prepare for the season by focusing on exercise. I'll prepare well for the rest of the year so that I can be helpful to the team"I thanked him.

Coach Lee Ho-joon hinted at the possibility of using Park Gun-woo as a center fielder this season. It is expected that Park Gun-woo, veterans Son Ah-seop, Chun Jae-hwan, and Park Si-wan will compete for the starting lineup. Kim Sung-wook also challenged the outfield competition.
Now, only one of the three internal FA players, Lee Yong-chan, remains an uncontracted player. Pitcher Lim Jung-ho was the first to end his contract. On November 28, he signed with Lim Jung-ho on the terms of a three-year contract period of up to 1.2 billion won. The details of the contract are 300 million won in down payment, 600 million won in annual salary (200 million per year), and 300 million in incentives.
Kim Sung-wook was then confirmed to remain as he signed about nine days before the start of the spring camp. Lee Yong-chan and I haven't been able to tie the knot yet. The terms of the contract were presented to Lee Yong-chan faster than Kim Sung-wook. However, Lee Yong-chan's side is continuing its troubles over the conditions of the NC club. There are still disagreements between the two sides.
