Jihoon Ham Retirement: Hyundai Mobis Legend Departs

Ji-Hoon Ham (42, forward), the ‘one-club man’ of professional basketball team Hyundai Mobis, will leave the court at the end of this season.

Hyundai Mobis announced on the 27th, “Ham Ji-hoon will end his career as a player after completing the 2025-2026 season.” Hyundai Mobis will conduct Ham Ji-hoon’s retirement tour, starting with a visit to SK on the 6th of next month. The official retirement ceremony will be held on April 8th in a home game against LG. Ji-hoon Ham said, “Initially, I had no plans to conduct a retirement tour, but I decided to proceed (with the tour) because I thought it would remain as a precious memory of my basketball life.”

Ham Ji-hoon, who debuted as a professional in the 2007-2008 season, played 18 seasons for Hyundai Mobis and won the championship five times. His clever play under the goal is his strength, and he was reborn as a ‘big man’ representing the league by winning the regular league and playoff MVP awards in the 2009-2010 season. As of the 26th, Ji-hoon Ham is recording a total of 8,338 points in the regular league, the most among all Hyundai Mobis players.
