This upgrade included integrating seven VAR systems into OB vans, expanding their capabilities to integrate 16 camera inputs and Virtual Offside Lines (VOL) technology. Backups were also added ensuring the systems stability for recordings and during the review operation.

In collaboration with Goal Sport Software until the end of the 2023 season, this expansion has significantly improved the refereeing capabilities of video refereeing in the K-League. This technological advancement aligns the South Korean Football premier league with global standards, while enhancing the football experience for players, officials, and fans.
