IBK Industrial Bank of Korea, the women's professional volleyball team, has recruited outside heater Lee So-young (29) and middle blocker Lee Ju-ah (23) from the free agent (FA) market.

Lee So-young played in 26 regular league games as a member of Jeonggwanjang in the 2023-2024 season, scoring 215 points with a 37.95% attack success rate, leading Jeonggwanjang to advance to spring volleyball for the first time in seven years.
