    Korea really went crazy with their player salary. I don’t know if this is good thing or not😅. KYK latest youtube content is regarding the player playing abroad but,, is there any player willing to go out when they can get this much offer in Korea.

    Rumour


    Dong-A Ilbo posted an article talking about the potential return to V-League for Suwon City Hall's main setter LEE Sol-Ah. In the article, a KCVF official was quoted saying that there was a rumour going around during the recent KCVF tournament that Team A would sign LEE Sol-Ah.


    So which V-League team is the mentioned Team A in the article you ask?

    Quote from Kofudakji

    good for Lee Sol Ah to reject kgc offer back then.

    Anynews on foreigner apply for tryout?

    It is only a rumour, so we still don't know if this is true or not.


    Sorry, no news on the foreigners who have applied for the tryout. I only know that Moma reapply for another season in the V-League (1) and that the women's foreign player draft will be held via video link like in recent years on Friday April 29th (1).

    News Update


    According to No Cut News, Heungkuk Life Insurance Pink Spiders has appointed KWON Soon-Chan (권순찬) as their new head coach. KWON has serves as a coach for various Korean men's teams before becoming the head coach of men's team KB Insurance Stars from 2017 to 2020.

    News Update


    PARK Mi-Hee might not be the only head coach to depart at the end of the season. KGC Ginseng Corp.'s contract with their head coach LEE Young-Taek is also up for renewal. It is still undecided whether KGC will hand him a new contract or not and an outcome will likely come out either this week or the following week. Source: 1


    Update:


    KGC Ginseng confirmed the departure of head coach LEE Young-Taek. A KGC official stated that the club is currently reviewing new candidates for the head coach position from various angles, including foreign head coaches. They have decided to change the head coach for a fresh start. This decision was based on the new KGC Ginseng president's goal of "change and innovation". Sources: 1, 2, 3

    Quote from theloneracer

    My Daily asked Heungkuk Pink Spiders if there was any possiblity that LEE Jae-Yeong could come back to the team. The team managing director LEE Dong-Kook replied that they were not interested in LEE Jae-Yeong and that she will never wear the Heungkuk uniform again. Source: 1

    Hoping a team/s will get her and Dayeong again. It's just unfair that Jung Jiseok got to play after committing crimes but the twins can't.

    Quote from theloneracer

    The team managing director LEE Dong-Kook replied that they were not interested in LEE Jae-Yeong and that she will never wear the Heungkuk uniform again.

    I can understand that they want to distance themselves from the twins and rebuild, but that second statement just seems a bit unnecessary.


    Maybe to LDY who was only with them for less than a year its fine, but to LJY who spent all 7 years there, contributed enough to have her jersey potentially retired and even accepted non-max contract as an FA...


    Could've ended it at "We're not interested"


    Quote from theloneracer

    So apparently, one of the candidates for the head coach position at KGC is American Jamie Morrison. Source: 1

    How is he like as a coach? Only ever saw him coaching Netherlands


    Was about to comment wondering how KGC could afford a foreigner coach considering them not even maxing their pay cap.

    But I forgot how much higher Korea's salaries were compared to other leagues😅
