Kyung Hee University is a strong player in the college league tradition. However, after the 2022 season, it faced a major power change. This is because the central resources such as Lee Sa-seong (graduated), In Seung-chan (Wonju DB), and Ko Chan-hyeok (Anyang KGC Ginseng Corporation) have been withdrawn.
