Prior to LIV Golf Korea, it was announced that one LIV team would be replacing a player within its roster, as Korean GC revealed Danny Lee would complete the remainder of the season as a Wild Card.

That left one spot open and, within the franchise's announcement, it was Doyeob Mun who would make the step up, as the South Korean joined Byeong Hun An, Younghan Song and Minkyu Kim.
