Thought we'd get to see the first foreign coach in Women's league haha
(but foreign doesn't necessarily mean better)
Not familiar with this coach, just hope its not another Lee Jung Chul style coach

His team is last place in mens league for two years in a row.
Korean comments in youtube said this appointment got something to do with politics
After checking his results as the head coach of Samsung Fire & Marine (SF&M) I was left scratching my head trying to work out why KGC Ginseng appointed KO Hee-Jin as their head coach.
Under KO leadership SF&M finished in last place with 26 points and only 6 wins in his first season. His team had 9 fewer wins and was 15 points behind the sixth-place men's team. The following season there were minor improvements with the team moving up one placing into sixth place. Though the team did get 18 more points in his second season and avoided last place by a single point, the team however still had the fewest wins in the men's league with 14 wins.
Since I have absolutely next to zero knowledge of the men's league and I don't know how good of a squad SF&M has, I won't make a judgement about his abilities as a head coach just yet.
Apparently, some KGC fans have organised a truck protest against his KO appointment. I'm not entirely sure on the reasons or reasoning as to why they are doing so.

No clue if you know already but usually the English subs are added after a couple of days. Last week's video was about her opinion on the different leagues in the world
Reading the articles about why Yang Hyojin decided to remain at Hillstate despite them cutting her pay by 200K is just...
Man, what a despicable franchise who took advantage of her loyalty to the club and her desire to remain there till the end
All this despite her MVP season bringing her club to #1 even, so her performance cannot be an excuse at all
As much as I love her in Hillstate, she really should have left them - would also have made the league more balanced
People have been pointing out how this isn't the first time Hillstate has given a significant pay cut to their older players in the franchise forcing them to accept or leave

KOVO Women's Foreign Players Draft will take place today at 14:00 KST but I have no idea if it will be broadcast at all. I have checked the TV schedulings for both KBSN Sports and SBS Sports and the two TV channels have some other programs scheduled at that time. Hopefully, KOVO will stream it live on either their youtube channel or on Naver.

Five teams will be selecting new foreign players with the confirmation that Hyundai E&C and GS Caltex have re-signed with Yaasmeen BEDART-GHANI and Laetitia MOMA BASSOKO respectively.
Nia is a gem She's going to be with the USA NT this summer
Why Lee Sook Ja on kgc table?
Why Lee Sook Ja on kgc table?
Most likely she is now part of their coaching staff.
