S.Korea - 2023-2024 V-League (Women)

Quote from throwawayanyway

Pornpun was in Romania before together with LDY. Unfortunately, her setting style doesn't match Romania's high sets so even when she started playing with the team, LDY was still starting (before her injury). I think she's definitely a great addition to the team; she was more stable than Hakyung who was IBK's main setter since last year.

Sorry, My mistake.. Romania, not Poland... She Joined halfway last season.. I thought she 's gonna be LDY replacement as main setter, and continue at least 1 more season..

Anyway, she's in SK now...

Her quick set can play good role.. Too bad IBK doesn't have good MBs, at least in that last match... She has time for chemistry improvement with IBK spikers, which are also on low performance in the last match....

Hi-pass and Pepper's match... The slowest and most error-prone match out there. At least Hi-Pass allowed Sebin and Eunji to play.

Jeong Ah's receive... its a bit embarrassing for her salary and experience.

Peppers win their first match (with a service error from Hi-pass). Honestly, it could have gone any other way. But Hi-Pass invested on their newbies so its still a good experience for them.

Its a gamble that last serve, she doesnt play a single minute and asked to give a good serve on match point down lol. I can tell Kim Jong Min in a rebuilding mode.

Side note: wow i feel like just yesterday watching shin eun ji and kim se bin as a freshman in Highschool and now they in pro league already

Yes for their debut they did really well. Shin Eunji gonna be their ace server ala Moon Jungwon and Sebin may become the rookie of the year if she continues to grow.

Now just saw an article after a few days of searching. It seems Lee Younjung, the main setter for Hi-pass, got a knee injury before the start of the season, that's why Park Eunji was the starting setter for the first two matches against Pink Spiders and Pepper. Park Eunji is only 19 years old, thus she's really quite not experienced but the potential is really there. Just like her sister Park Eunso who is doing really well with Peppers.

Currently gs win the 1st set, but what is this mulbang ball 🤣.

I don't know how helpful video replays are if the judges can't make good decisions based off the evidence presented. Its obviously in when Hyojin hit the ball. Its only 1st round and coaches and staff are already fighting lol.

Pornpun is doing really well but just like in Romania she is having problems with tall hitters. She needs to work on her breathing with Abercrombie.

Pornpun is finding herself in the thick of the action and on the other side Wipawee is keeping herself busy too

Match MPV .. Wipawee

Yes very good performance from her. Dain is learning to trust her more.

Is Yerim out for a season?

What's the news on Jeong Ji Yun injury?

From what I heard they are both injured. Jeong Jiyun was injured before the Asian games and based on reports she's resting for a few weeks - she'll probably play by November. Go Yerim is a bit of a surprise though.

anyone wstching pink spiders vs peppers ?

IBK lost again. 3 consecutive loses. They've lost leads from the 1st and 3rd set. I don't know how their coach could fumble the ball with this team. They got 1st pick for the foreign players and 1st pick for asian quarter. Also, it seems Minky is injured. She's not as explosive as before.

On a lighter note, cute video from Hyundai:

Yes. Korean League is one of the longest leagues in VB scene. They play 6 times a week, with only Monday as rest day.

Plenty of action to keep me entertained lolsss

btw, it’ll be super if you can help me in something... The Korean clubs have official names and a shortened version which are popular with their fans... For instances, Incheon Heungkuk Life are known as ‘Pink Spiders’ .. for the other six clubs, I’ve heard them being mentioned as....

Hyundai E&C Hillstate.... “Hyundai” or “Hillstate” ?

Daejeon KGC W has become JungKwanJang Red Sparks ... “KGC” or “Red Sparks” or just “Sparks” ?

Pepper Savings Bank W.... “Peppers” ?

Expressway Co W... “Hi-Pass” ?

GS Caltex... “GS” or “Caltex” ?

IBK W.... “IBK” ?

Which names would be popular with the fans ?

Thanks,
