    My opinion: Han Sun-soo and Bu Yong-chan should be there. I'll include No Jae-wook too but he's injured so yeah.

  • Seems like there are big changes in the roster. The training camp will start on April 15. 18 players are going to partcipate including the additional players below.


    Im Dong-hyuk(Korean Air, FIVB U-19 WCH Best Opposite), Han Sung-jeong(Woori Card, OH), Jung Jun-hyuk(Samsung, MB), Heo Su-bong(Hyundai Capital, OPP/OH), Son Joo-hyeong(OK Savings Bank, MB) have been added to the roster.



    Moon Sung-min, Jeon Kwang-in, Shin Yung-suk, Choi Min-ho, Park Sang-ha, Jung Ji-seok, Kwak Seung-seok, and Park Jin-woo are not in the list of 18 players. I don't know if they are all out or will be added later.

  • I did a preview for the Korean team in the VNL that can be found here


    "The best-case scenario for this team is that their roster meshes and plays in some competitive matches to gain some momentum as they look ahead to the rest of the summer. Maybe a young player emerges, but I really can’t see them finishing higher than anyone except Australia"
