However, Korea Electric Power Corporation, which is experiencing financial difficulties with debt exceeding 200 trillion won, the largest among domestic listed companies, recently included the sale of the volleyball team as one of its self-rescue measures in a business report submitted to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the National Assembly.
