The KB Insurance Stars men’s professional volleyball team has announced it will use the Ichung Cultural Sports Center in Pyeongtaek as its temporary home stadium for the 2026-2027 V-League season. The team plans to host 18 regular-season games there from November through April.

The relocation follows the closure of the team’s previous home, Uijeongbu Gymnasium, due to structural safety concerns regarding its roof, and a subsequent period using Kyungmin University’s memorial hall. 

Pyeongtaek City has signed an agreement with the club to facilitate this move, which Mayor Choi Won-yong described as a step toward fulfilling promises to attract professional sports to the city. The city intends to use the season as a trial period to evaluate spectator capacity, economic impact, and facility management. To improve the fan experience, officials are discussing replacing spectator railings with glass for better visibility and considering shuttle bus services to mitigate potential parking shortages.
