The WKBL (Korea Women's Basketball Federation) held the 28th 6th board meeting in Dragon City, Seoul on the 24th and discussed the WKBL Asian Quarter System in the 2025-2026 season.
Through this, the Asian quarter's playing time was previously one with two players, but in the 2025-2026 season, it was decided to allow two players to play only in the third quarter. In addition, it was decided to pay 12 million won per month for first-round starters and 10 million won per month for second-round starters in a method that paid 10 million won per month regardless of the selection ranking.
However, the Asian quarter players who participated in the 2025-2026 season can renew their contracts, and a victory allowance and a playoff and championship match advancement allowance have been newly established. The Asian Quarter Player Draft for next season will be held in June after receiving applications for Japanese players.
With this decision, it is expected that more high-quality players will participate and play on the Korean stage. As re-signing is also allowed, teams are expected to be able to stably devise and operate team tactics. This season was also the first year of implementation, but Japanese players performed well in each of the six teams. KB Stars Nagata Moe, who won the Asian Quarter Player Award at the WKBL Regular League Awards held on the 24th, ranked fifth in the category with an average of 12.93 points per game.
