Watching Rookie Coach Kim Yeon-koung 2, Lee Ye-eun's selection scene seems a bit strange

Is anyone else watching this season of 《Rookie Coach Kim Yeon-koung》?
I'm writing this because I saw a scene while watching that made me doubt my own eyes as a fan of the show.
It's the process of Lee Ye-eun, a former player from Korea Expressway Corporation, joining the team.
In the broadcast, during a phone call with Coach Lee Hyo-hee (former Expressway Corporation coach), when asked "Where are you right now?",
Lee Ye-eun says, "I've left via arbitrary termination (Im-tal) and I want to go to Wonder Dogs."
Then, the coach says, "Then come to this gym right now," and as soon as she arrives, she goes through a tryout and is ultimately selected.
​
​If something like this happened in baseball, would you find it understandable?
For example, imagine a player like Jang Du-seong from Lotte leaves his team of his own volition, applies for arbitrary termination, then makes a single phone call to a coach on a variety show saying, "Where are you? Get off the train and come straight to the tryout," and joins a show like "Flaming Baseball."
If things proceeded this way in the baseball world, would the KBO or fans of the 10 clubs be able to accept this as a "dramatic comeback narrative" and let it slide?
​
Also, while the goal is stated as "founding the 8th club," recruiting players from existing clubs via arbitrary termination in such a manner contradicts the program's justification of "expanding the volleyball base by founding the 8th V-League club." A broadcasting entity aiming to found a new team is openly ignoring the contract rights and the arbitrary termination system of the existing 7 clubs, calling someone up via a personal connection to select them?
I don't know the volleyball world very well, but is it okay for things to work this way?
Lastly, regarding the deprivation of fair opportunity (staging private preferential treatment): what happens to the numerous unknown and released players who saw the official tryout announcement, desperately submitted their documents, and prepared to participate? I want to ask if someone rushing in and grabbing a spot through a single phone call from a former coach with a personal connection is truly the "fair second chance" this program claims to promote.
​
While I can understand a coach's personal desire to look after a former student, I wonder if it is right for a broadcasting station and production crew to treat the basic framework and fairness of professional sports so lightly.....
Do you all think this method of staging a selection process is normal?
