They were not, but they have a head coach like Lavarini now. They improved a lot IMO. They also played friendly game against Serbia and Kim played 72% in attack.
It's so sad that both setters are out due to injury. Lavarini was making stratgies with his main setter Lee dayoung. It was much faster and accurate than what korean players had played before. Luckily she is not injured much(it was misdiagnosis from serbian doctors, her achilles is not ruptured.) so I think we can see her in asian championship.
