    Questionable choices, Nam Ji Yeon and Lee Hyo Hee. Based on their performance in V-League this season, they were not as good as before imo. Na Hyun Jung who won the Best Libero last season and this season should be in the 14-member line-up so as Kim Sa Nee who got the Best Setter award this season and she is also a tall setter.

    The only changes from the Korea WNT at the World Qualifier are the exclusion of both GS Caltex OHs Lee So-Young & Kang So-Hwi, and positional change for Nam Jie-Youn from Libero to Outside Hitter.

    I think Kim Sa-Nee might be retired from the NT, also the NT Coach Lee Jung Chul is Kim Sa-Nee (& Nam Jie-Youn) coach at IBK so there no reasons that I can see for her not to be in the NT other than her not wanting to do so.


    Fun Fact :teach: : GS Caltex is the only team from the Korean domestic league that is not represented in the WNT for the Rio 2016 Olympic Game now that Bae Yoo-Na have signed with Korea Expressway Corp.
