theloneracer's words: the same players in week 1 & 2
maybe somewhat different from week 1, according to some rumors
Korean NT 2019

I was wondering why I read they lost 3 out of 3 games with only win 1 set in the 1st week...
Turn out because No KYK, Lee JY, Yang Hyo Jin, Park JA , and no Lee SooYoung as well.. basically no hitter.. no wonder....
With new coach team, young players, I hope they get better in week 2 and move up from the bottom rank....

News Update:
- Beside the inclusion of KYK, it looks like there will be further changes to the Korean roster for Week 3. From an article that came out today, it was reported that along with KYK, setter An Hye-Jin (AHJ) and middle blocker Han Soo-Ji (HSJ) will joined up with the NT today (May 27th). From my understandings, all 3 players will be included in the Korean roster for Week 3 of the VNL. Source: 1
Will KYK play next week ?

No, KYK will not play in week 2 and the latest news update (above) back this up. I am also curious to know where you read/heard these rumours from.

Korea has no chance in this year VNL. At the moment, they are missing their top four OHs and in my opinion, they will be lucky not to finish dead last.
Lee Jae-Yeong and Park Jeong-Ah are definitely out for the entire VNL. As Lee So-Young did not fly out with KYK, AHJ, and HSJ to meet up with the team, I feel like there is now a big question mark on whether she will take part in the VNL at all. But hopefully, KYK will be back for week 3 as planned.

News Update:
- Look like Korea also lost Kang So-Hwi (KSH) for the Intercontinental Olympic Qualifiers next month in Russia. KSH could not joined the NT for training because of an abdominal muscle injury (rupture of the left external radial muscle). The reports cited that it will take her six weeks for treatment and rehabilitation. Source: 1, 2, 3
In case anyone is interested, below are the players who were listed on the preliminary roster for the IOQ but were omitted from the training squad.
OH - Kim Mi-Youn (Heungkuk), Moon Jung-Won (KEC Hi-pass), Choi Eun-Ji (KGC) + Kang So-Hwi (GS Caltex)
MB - Han Song-Yi (KGC), Park Eun-Jin (KGC)
OP - Jeong Ji-Yun (Hyundai)
S - Lee Hyo-Hee (KEC Hi-pass), Cho Song-Hwa (Heungkuk)
Li - Kim Yeon-Gyeon (Hyundai)
theloneracer I hope you were watching VNL. S Korea started killing it on Home Court the last week
Yeah, I did watch most of the Korean VNL matches but not very closely though.
Playing at home sure did help them but In my opinion, Korea got really lucky avoiding finishing last in the ranking thanks largely due to Poland resting their key players in their final VNL match. Against the Dominican Republic, Korea basically gave that match away by choking in the 3rd & 4th set but against Japan, they did play better.
To tell you the truth, watching their earlier matches in the VNL left me a bit frustrated, particularly with some of the silly attacking decisions they made. For example, wasting good attacking opportunities by playing a tip shot over the opponent blockers when most of the opponent backcourt players were already crowding around in the area behind the blockers.

Bummer on all these Korean injuries. Wow. I'm new-ish to this but I've never seen an entire starting lineup (practically) go boom like this. I feel bad for them all and wish them the best.
For me this VNL Korean NT (Hybrid a,b,c, whatever-team you want to call it) just got better after playing together for a while this VNL. And it helped that they got to finish at home. I could see the confidence growing on their faces--one of the reasons I love love love the VNL. I think the new coach is going to be good for them--even if I'm not fond of his Euro-style emotive facial shenanigans.

At the very least they got Lee Jae-Yeong and Lee So-Young back.
The one other thing I'm happy to see is the reunion of the Lee twins and Ha Hye-Jin. I think this is the first time they are together again since their junior NT and high school days (
I hadn't started watching volleyball yet).

Korean NT's roster has been announced.
Wing Spiker : KIM Yeonkoung, LEE Jaeyeong, LEE Soyoung, PYO Seungju
Opposite Spiker : KIM Heejin, HA Hyejin
Middle Blocker : YANG Hyojin, JEONG Daeyoung, KIM Suji, LEE Juah
Setter : LEE Dayeong, AN Hyejin
Libero : KIM Haeran, OH Jiyoung
And according to the Korean Volleyball Association, Korean NT will move to Belgrade, Serbia, for training from July 24-30. Also it will play a friendly with Serbian NT in Belgrade because of the same time slot between Kaliningrad and Belgrade.

Park Jeong-ah is a big loss. She was Korea's top scorer in WCH. I hope she recovers well.
-
According to korean media, Lee dayeong has partial achilles tendon rupture. An hyejin has hyperventilation syndrome, so she can't play either. So korean volleyball federation decided to change all setters. Lee hyohee and Lee nayeon are going to participate in ICQT. They will immediately go to russia if the visa is issued.
