Lee Seung-hyun of the Ulsan Hyundai Mobis Phoebus has signed an agent contract with Key Player Agency (KPA).

"We plan to provide more systematic support across Lee Seung-hyun's entire career, including his free agent contract and salary negotiations," Key Player Agency said Wednesday. "Beyond support for improving on-court performance, we will offer stable and professional assistance throughout his playing career, encompassing player management, an asset management system, and long-term career planning that takes into account his life after retirement."

A graduate of Korea University, Lee drew attention from his college years for his strong court vision, leadership, and tireless hustle plays. He was selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014-2015 season draft and has since established himself as one of the KBL's representative forwards. In the 2025-2026 season, he transferred to Mobis and played in 51 games, averaging 8.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists.

"I have high expectations as I am joining Key Player Agency at a crucial period in my playing career," Lee said. "I will continue to work hard to repay our fans with better performance and consistency."

Key Player Agency's roster includes Kim Sun-hyung, Heo Ung, Kang Yi-seul, Park Mu-bin, Lee Woo-seok, Shin Ji-hyun, and Owner (Moon Hyun-jun).

"We will build a systematic support and management framework so that Lee Seung-hyun's playing career and his future beyond it can continue with stability," Key Player Agency CEO Han Jung-moo said.
