Attention to KBL decisions ahead of contract expiration
A board meeting was held on the 17th to discuss the status issue

Ra Gun-ah 35, a KCC center in Busan, is set to take the lead. He has been treated as a foreign mercenary despite having Korean nationality, but his contract with his team is about to expire. Amid rumors of his overseas expansion, attention is focusing on the decision of the Korea Basketball League KBL.

KBL announced on the 14th that it will hold a board meeting on the morning of the 17th to discuss Ra Gun-ah's status. "As it is a matter of next season, we will try to reach a conclusion before the contract expires," a league official said. "We will hold another board meeting as soon as possible."

Ra Gun-ah acquired Korean nationality through a special naturalization in 2018. Despite receiving extra allowance, she wore a national flag in every international competition. However, she was still treated as a "kkkakdugi" in the league. This was due to concerns that recognizing Ra Gun-ah as a Korean player could disrupt the balance of power between teams.

Although he is in his mid-30s, Ra Gun-ah's destructive power is still at a level that cannot be ignored. He also played a significant role in KCC's victory in the 2023-2024 season. He scored an average of 22 goals in 12 playoff games, and was in charge of finishing under the basket. If he joins foreign mercenaries on the court, he can instantly turn the game around.

The best scenario for Ra Gun-ah to be recognized as a Korean player is that her team can recruit a mercenary-grade player as a Korean player. On the contrary, if she is classified as a foreign player, her future may become all the more uncertain. This is because the incentives that she received from wearing the national flag as a special naturalized player will disappear, and she will have to compete in the league under the same conditions as foreign players with one option younger than her.

There is also a chance that he could advance to overseas leagues such as Japan. "I don't know what my next status will be," Ra Gun-ah said on her SNS the day before. "The Korea Basketball Association and the KBL need to take action or make an interim point." Starting with Hyundai Mobis in Ulsan in 2012, Ra Gun-ah has played for 12 seasons in the KBL and scored 11,343 points, ranking second in overall score after Seo Jang-hoon 13,231 points.
