KOVO posted interesting all-time regular season stats on their instagram and I decided to translate it to make it easier to look at.
Data from 2005 to the past 2019/2020 season. Regular Season only, no playoffs or KOVO Cup.
Damn. Dude. Or dudette. Whatever the case may be. Nice!
Piss poor quality, but here's the match Korea vs Canada at the U18 Worlds in 2019.
Good to (re)watch now to see how our new 2020-2021 draftees fared at the international level against their peers.
The stats sheet for the game is here:

Thanks! I'm a dude btw 
Wasnt that much effort - I only translated the hangul, apart from that KOVO did all the work 
LOL. Apparently, the first poster they used for a scouting report this season is :
People complained and cried about favoritism. Why did one team have THREE players displayed and right in the center no less. There is another one now. Not sure if it's in relation with the complaints. Just can't rid of the twins! 
A couple of players' Asked account (a Q&A platform with the fans). A little Google Translate and you can learn a little more about them. Not sure if there are more.
Kim Mi-yeon - Pink Spiders (She answers EVERY single question)
Jung Ho-young - KGC
Choi Jeong-min - IBK new draftee
Park Ji-woo - Hyundai new trainee
2020-2021 V-League Season Preview. I'm paraphrasing from what I could understand from the translation...
Part 1 - Hyundai

Strength: Yang Hyo-jin and the center line. Jung Ji-yoon is practicing both as a MB and a WS. She needs to improve her receiving skills to work as a wing player. Between them and Lee Da-hyun, the middle should be a position of strength. They all complete each other well.
Weakness: Depth at the WS position. Hwang Min-kyung and Go Ye-rim take a large share of the receiving, even more than the libero, and are also responsible for the attacks coming from the wings. Since both are not very tall, the effort they have to make both on attack (especially jumping) and defense will take a physical toll during the hard grind of a season. This could have a negative effect on their performances, particularly on their attack efficiency.
Question marks: Lee Na-yeon. The high dependency on middle attacks. At the KOVO Cup, the attack share from the center was higher than the wings. Teams will certainly adjust to that.
My own two cents:
Lee Na-yeon is obviously the big ? here. She has shown through her play at IBK to be inconsistent and at times mentally weak. Though the blame put on her might be exaggerated since her former team had piss poor reception last year. Depth at the libero position is also a question mark for me. When healthy, Kim Yeon-gyeon is IMO a top-3 libero in the game. But we saw last year the dire consequences of her absence on the team (RIP). I don't really trust the other two... It will be interesting to see if Han Mi-reu, the libero kid they just drafted will see any playing time. Han is an interesting case as she used to be a setter (and even played as the primary setter at the last U18 before Park Hye-jin), but her 166 cm stature made her change into a libero. If she can develop into a libero who can toss and act as a second setter, she would be unique in Korea, someone who Lavarini would have loved to coach.
I can't wait to watch how Rousseaux plays for this team. She is an injury risk, but when healthy last year was the second best scorer in the Turkish League just behind Bošković. And she can defend too!
If HMK or GYR get hurt, they're in trouble. The team doesn't have any young kid who can replace one of them even on a short term. Jeon Ha-ri is basically just a serve specialist at this point. They got two defensive players at the draft and a center, but no one to help the attack on the wings.
So I feel that slowly converting Jung Ji-yoon into a Kim Hee-jin type of hybrid OP who can slide in as MB from time to time would benefit her both on a personal and team perspective. She's not a natural center and is a bit short for the job (although it is sufficient for the V-League; see Bae Yoo-na for ex.). Place her in a position where you can hide her from receiving duties (until she gets better... or not, just ask Park Jung-ah...). With Rousseaux able to play both sides, you would have 4 able WS you can rotate to keep opponents guessing + Hwang Youn-joo as a bonus backup. And JJY can also give relief to YHJ and a young inconsistent LDH.
Does anyone know if the All-Star Game will take place this season? And if, when? I didnt see any announcement and it isnt on the normal V-League schedule either but it should be around end of December or end of January if it follows the usual pattern.

Just gonna answer myself since I managed to deduct with my sherlock-esque skills that the biggest gap in the schedule is between January 22nd and 27th and for the last couple of years the All-Star Game was exclusively on a Sunday and in a 5-day gap most of the time.
So it should take place on January 24th next year, lets see if I am right

Way to shine sherlock !

Just realize that Plummer is gonna play on the same league with her Stanford senior, Lutz.
Isn't Plummer playing in the Japanese V-League for Denso Airybees?
There was two Stanford graduates playing in the Korean V-League last season, with Hayley Spelman playing for Hyundai E&C and Merete Lutz for GS Caltex.
omg i am such a flop. I thought this is the Japanese V League thread 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Interesting from Hi-pass coach. Last year, they employed mostly a two-person receiving system with Moon Jung-won and Yim Myung-ok. This year, they'll go back to a traditional three-person system where Park Jeong-ah and Jeon Sae-yan will participate with the reception. If this works, Moon can get a breather and be more effective on the attack.
The middle was identified as a weakness. Bae Yoo-na is back, but they have little depth at that position. Coach might use Kelsie as MB from time to time. Moon Jung-won and Ha Hye-jin would then play on the right.
Strong determination from Payne, who said that barring injuries she'll stay with the team until the end. Last season was a karma year for them foreign player wise. With the way they threw away Sherridan, it was only poetic justice that the players they brought to replace her shat the bed for them. But that's just my opinion...
