I still don't understand why KGC didn't name OHJi-Young as one of their protected players when they signed LEE So-Young.

I think the libero position is going to be a problem for KGC this season.
-
i like park hye min, i think she's the next up and rising player. kgc playing not too shabby, considering soyoung isn't playing.

i can only think 2 reason:
1. Salary
2. team harmony, i dont know what really happen last season, but with shipping two senior player out, team culture certainly different -
Kgc need setter and libero, you cant compete on a long season with only two setter and two libero
-
Lee So-young, Go Ui-jeong, Jeong Ho-young, Lee Seon-woo, Han Song-yi, Park Eun-jin, Yeum Hye-seon
That's already 7 and you can only protect 6.
I'm not sure I'm protecting Oh Ji-young before any of those. You could make a case for Han Song-yi, but she's really good in V-League, and there are still not enough spots to protect Oh Ji-young.

1. Salary
Looking at the teams' registration this year, KGC were well under the salary cap so I guess they don't have the $$$.

I like her too, Park Hye-Min had potential but she needs to bulk up.

If I was KGC and just got Lee So-Young, I would have protected OH Ji-Young and instead let either KO Ui-Jeong or LEE Seon-Woo go unprotected.
Edit: Crazy as it might sound, I was thinking of not protecting Han Song-Yi and protecting KUJ and LSW.

Tzuyu is on a ROLL!!!!

ohhhhh park hye min !!

I thought it was salary but they were well under salary cap as well, unless KGC as a corporation decided not to spend so much on the club (but then comes the ?question? about Soyoung's 650k - I don't think GS or many/any other cubs were able to offer SY even 600k)
2. team harmony, i dont know what really happen last season, but with shipping two senior player out, team culture certainly different
this is a possibility as well
Anyway random, but I can't get used to Sohwi's new look, no judgement at all but I just think she was cuter before with her monolids haha
-
i initially thought it's gonna end 3-0 in favour of GS. but now... hmmmm
if kgc continues to play this way, they can win this.
their blocks went up up up after park eun jin came in.
-
Feel bad for the reserve liberos on GS lol, they're good but won't get much playing time since OJY joined
Meanwhile you have Pepper and KGC without any or without a good libero lol
Anyway this match is pretty amusing, especially with so many swapping of players between the two teams
-
-
Very confused what KGC's strategy is
Do they want to win this season? Or build for later seasons?
Doing a one-to-one trade with an immediately good player like Choi Eunji for a younger player with future potential like Park Hyemin.
They spent so much to recruit Lee Soyoung, but sent away Choi Eunji and Oh Jiyoung lol

KGC kept PARK Eun-Jin and they traded CHOI Eun-Ji.
-
Kgc doesnt have high budget on team operations, i heard it from Korean youtuber last season.
Maybe with LSY and ParkHyemin coming in the team will get a new fandom, higher brand value equal more sponsors (ex: skechers at the start of the seasons).
if ha hyo rim play better this game, probably kgc have more chance.I expect another trade after kovo cup, gs certainly doesnt need 4 libero. Maybe trade with pepper for draft pick?

oh yep i mix their names up way too often haha
Pepper Saving Bank's club name and logo is decided to be "AI Peppers" (source)
Gwangju was pushing for it really hard in order to promote their city's AI direction lol
Kinda cringe, but at least its not too horrible. Makes me think of robots though
-
Lee So-young is still only 26 (soon 27) and has many many prime years left. If they handle their cards well, KGC will become a dynasty. Somehow, I don't 100% trust the management though.
With so many promising young players, there WILL be growing pains; kids WILL make dumb mistakes, some will choke under pressure at times, but the coach should stay the course and be patient. The suffering that you endure now will make you win for years (before the kids all ask to get paid).
-
Yeah, KGC definitely needs to trade for a new libero. I would say GS Han Da-Hye is the most feasible option or even maybe Heungkuk Do Su-been.
