Busan City has expressed its welcome for the decision of the KCC EGIS men's professional basketball team (club owner Jeong Jae-hoon) to relocate its base to Busan.


Founded on November 3, 2001, the KCC EGIS men's professional basketball team consists of a total of 29 members, including the head coach, coaches, and staff. It is a prestigious men's professional basketball team that has achieved the remarkable feat of winning the KBL Championship Finals three times.


Through this relocation, Busan City plans to provide maximum support so that the top-tier prestigious team can achieve the best results in the best home ground. Specific matters for consultation will be gradually resolved through practical meetings.



Mayor Park Hyung-jun said, "There has been a strong demand from Busan citizens for the establishment of a men's basketball team, and I am pleased that we can finally provide an answer that satisfies the citizens." He added, "By attracting the KCC EGIS basketball team to Busan, we expect to offer citizens, who have long been thirsty for a men's basketball team, the opportunity to enjoy high-quality basketball games." He also stated, "We will continue to make greater efforts to promote sports to create 'Busan, a Healthy Sports Paradise City.'"
