Various options for the tryout have been reported in several articles, such as letting the team recruit freely, delaying the tryout, moving the tryout, or recruit players based on video submitted. At a working committee meeting held last Thursday (Apr 2), the men's teams have given their consent to using video submitted but the women's teams want to delay the tryout and see how thing develop as they would prefer to see the players in real life.
KOVO board of directors will meet on Thursday (Apr 9) and they will decide what to do then.
With regards to the list of players in the tryout, there is none at the moment as the deadline for the tryout was extended to this Wednesday (Apr 8). Valentina Diouf, Merete Lutz, Lucia Fresco, and Hayley Spelman have reportedly applied for renewal. For the women, at least 40 players have applied, with a few of them already having V-League experience.
The award winners (MVP, best rookie, best 7, best head coach, fair play) and FA status players will also be announced this Thursday. Unfortunately, there will be no awards show, no relay or media coverage of the award presentation at 14:00 KST and only the winner will be invited. Another thing that should be announced and I think will be, is the salary cap for the women's teams which may have a huge bearing on the movement of FA status players.
Hyundai E&C Yang Hyo-Jin and Lee Da-Yeong, as well as KGC Valentina Diouf are the main candidates for the MVP that I have seen. Sources: 1, 2, 3
The best rookie is between close friend Lee Da-Hyeon (Hyundai) and Park Hyeon-Ju (Heungkuk), both players came from Jungang girls' high school. Sources: 1, 2, 3
For the best 7, I have seen a lot of fans claiming the best 7 will be:
Outside Hitters Lee Jae-Yeong (heungkuk) & Kang So-Hwi (GS Caltex), Opposite Hitter Valentina Diouf (KGC), Middle Blockers Yang Hyo-Jin (Hyundai) & Han Song-Yi (KGC), Setter Lee Da-Yeong (Hyundai), and Libero Yim Myung-Ok (Hi-pass).
It looks like Hyundai E&C will get a trophy for coming first. KOVO have decided to give the regular league season trophy to both the first ranked team for men and women. Sources: 1

As a matter of fact, KOVO board proclaimed that there is no Champion this year, Hyundai didn’t won the title.
Official announcement: https://www.kovo.co.kr/news/61…vonews_view.asp?num=27560Good summary: https://sports.news.naver.com/…hn?oid=047&aid=0002262702
Yes, you are correct.
Overall there is no champion but I still wonder if Hyundai is the regular season winner since they did ranked all the teams.

Yeap, the season end, with no playoffs and no finals.

Hyundai E&C snatching a point off of GS Caltex in their Round 5 match (link) made all the difference. GS must be rueing the final result for that match as they easily won the first two sets but Hyundai managed to take the match to a 5th set. Losing their two key players (Lee So-Young and Kang So-Hwi) during the season due to injuries was costly particularly when they had such a good start.
Yes congratulation to Hyundai!
The league and the cup.
Btw because of the early the end to the season, there are still things left for KOVO and the teams to sort out such as the players award, free agents, and foreign player tryout. I will try to let you guys know once there are news update about these matters.

News Update:
- On Tuesday (Mar. 10), KOVO held a meeting with the 13 teams to discuss the resumption of the league. From the meeting, KOVO and the teams are looking to re-start the league in the 4th week of March if the situation with COVID-19 in South Korea improves. The V-League still have a total of 24 matches of the regular-season remaining (14 for men and 10 for women) and the post-season matches. The league hopes to have the remaining games finished by Mid-April, how they will do so is yet to be decided. There were suggestions of playing multiple matches on the same day or reducing the number of rest-days between matches, as well as reducing the post-season. The KOVO Board of Directors will most likely meet in the 3rd week of March to make the final decision on all matters. Sources: 1, 2, 3, 4
- Hyundai E&C announced they have requested KOVO to have Kim Ju-Ha (KJH), a former player who last played for the team in the 2016/17 season re-registered. Hyundai has signed KJH on a 2 months contract as support for Lee Yeong-Ju in the libero position. Some of you may remember seeing KJH playing for Suwon City Hall in the KOVO Cup last September. Sources: 1, 2, 3
Update (2)
- Dayami Sanchez Savon (Sanchez) and Expressway Hi-pass have reached an agreement to allow her to return to Cuba. Sanchez was planning to play out the remaining matches but was worried about how she would return home. Flights back to Cuba were decreasing rapidly and uncertainty with flights next month, she decided to leave. With Expressway Hi-pass at the bottom of the ranking and the team planning to play their younger players in the remaining matches, it was not an issue to let Sanchez go. Since Expressway Hi-pass understood Sanchez situation and there was no real need to keep Sanchez, the two sides reached an agreement swiftly. Sanchez will leave for Cuba on March 13th. Sources: 1, 2, 3

Seem like Adora Anae finally left South Korea yesterday. She and IBK Altos came to an agreement with IBK giving her part of her salary for the month of March based on when the regular season end (not 100% sure if I understood it correctly). Sources: 1, 2, 3
I believe KOVO want to have everything done by mid-April. If not, it is very likely that they will end the league because the 13 teams need to prepare for next season with Free Agent players and the Tryouts in May in Prague (who know if this will go ahead if Europe put a travel ban on South Korea).
If KOVO really wants to end the league quickly maybe they can have multiple matches on the same days. For the female, the quickest time it should take to end the regular season is at least five days (if each team play once a day and teams a maximum of 3 days in a row only as per FIVB regulations). The V-League does not have QF or SF, normally they have a best of 3-match series (playoffs) between 2nd and 3rd, and a best of 5-match series between the playoffs winner and regular-season champion. Whether they hold the playoffs and final series or cut the series short is yet to be decided.

Adora Anae wants to leave Korea because of corona. It is stated in the standard contract that contract could be delayed maximum 14 days due to the inevitable outside force. However she asked to the team that she wants to get out of Korea whatever the contract says.
She even wrote an official document to FIVB arguing that Korea should finish the league, not delaying. She also requested to compensate players with money.
IBK is trying to stop her because other foreign players could be influenced if Anae is leaving.
zenith the article you linked above is an article on the retirement of Rachel Rourke.
Seem like IBK Altos are hesitant to meet Adora Anae's demand. An IBK official stated that the remaining amount left to be paid to Anae isn't much but it hard to accept her demands. IBK wants to try to resolve this via talks and they are also worried that their acceptance of her demands would lead to problems for the other teams with their respective foreign players.

With Hyundai defeating GS Caltex and regaining the lead, Hyundai now look prime to take out the regular-season championship if the league resume as normal at a later date. Hyundai has already played both GS and Heungkuk in the last round and only need to play against KGC, IBK and Expressway. Both GS and Heungkuk have to face up against KGC, as well as IBK and Expressway respectively, and they both need to play against each other one last time. Also if the V-League get push even further back, maybe Hyundai would get their libero Kim Yeon-Gyeon back in time.
Minor news update:
Hyundai E&C #7. Go Yoo-Min [OH] did not go with the team to the gymnasium for the match against GS Caltex due to back pain. No indication on how long she would be out for. Source: 1

Display MoreI wish not just her.. other top players too..
I think Kang SH hasn't allowed yet. She hasn't finished her mandatory 7 yrs contract yet... If I'm not mistaken...
But the Lee twins will be free next year..
Though Lee JY has said that she's not interested going abroad, maybe her experience in the next VNL and Olympic can change her mind.... I hope.. 🙏
And also Lee DY... not many setters changing leagues, maybe she will be one of them.. another hope...😁
Other than them, maybe Park Jeong Ah or Kim Hee Jin.... and tiny expectation from me for Yang Hyo Jin to at least try once....
I think it it 6 seasons and not 7. Also, players had to have played a certain amount of matches each season to qualify.
The Lee twins made their V-League debut in the 2014/15 season and is eligible for Free Agent (FA) status at the completion of the 2019/20 season. Therefore they are contracted to their respective team for 6 season (14/15, 15/16, 16/17, 17/18, 18/19, and 19/20). Kang So-Hwi joined the league a year after the Lee twins so she would be a FA after the completion of 20/21 season.
Rather than Lee Jae-Yeong, for me the most likely player who could head overseas would be Lee Da-Yeong (C'mon Lavarini bring her over to Italy).
I can't see Park Jeong-Ah or Kim Hee-Jin going to overseas, maybe to Thailand or Japan but not to Europe or South America.

Display MoreThank you for your response.
1. Their 1st reason to have a better option is good. But the 2nd reason which is a replacement in case a foreign player injured is less possible because during club season these professional player will for sure be playing in different club league if they will not make it to kovo league.
2. It will be a good news for other asian country to be able to play in high level like kovo league. Though in japan league most of their asean players are on bench. So, if kovo league will do the same it doesn't make sense right? I have heard about asian players name Alyja santiago from Philipins? Who played two seasons there and good for her she played alot but other asean players in other club team there are on bench.
If kovo league will allow other asian player to play then let them play and not just put them in bench.
- Yes, it is more difficult but it has happened a few times before. The main stumbling blocks are whether the player's current club is willing to let her go and the transfer fee between the two teams.
At the start of last season, Fatou Diouck was playing for Supreme Chonburi VC in Thailand when Expressway Hi-pass bought out her contract to brought her back to the V-League. Milagros Collar (Maya) was playing in Turkey for Nilufer Belediyesi when Hyundai brought out her contract. Also, other players such as Hillary Hurley and Soňa Mikysková also came to V-League as replacements for injured players despite already having a team. - It may be good news for other Asian countries' players if they could come over to play in the Korean league but not so much for young South Korean or high school players. As to the real reason/s why some of the officials want to introduce this system then I am not entirely sure (refer to article link below). Game time for Asian foreign players will depend if they are up to the standard that the Korea teams want from them, if they are then they will play and if not then they are in the warm-up zone.
Everyone, I have added below an interesting article that talks about the introduction of Asian players.

As zenith and myself have mentioned before, the women's V-League in Korea, with only six teams is a much smaller league compare to other countries' leagues. Personally, I don't think Korea is ready to take in other Asian players without damaging the prospect of future generations of Korean players, not unless they can establish addition teams. With less spot on teams and potential less game time, I afraid that in the future, students may decide to take on other sports instead because they see their chances of becoming a regular professional volleyball player that much more slimmer.

#gogo KIXX
Unless they bottled it against the teams in the bottom half, GS Caltex KIXX (GS) should win the regular-season championship now that they have retaken the lead. GS trio of Merete Lutz, Kang So-Hwi and Lee So-Young are just too strong overall. GS rookie Kwon Min-Ji (#18) is doing well too and is another contender for the best rookie award. Despite Min-Ji being more of an OH, Cha Sang-Hyun (GS head coach) has been using her as a middle blocker like Jeong Ji-Yun (#13) from Hyundai E&C Hillstate (Hyundai).
Hyundai are too vulnerable in reception at the moment plus their two main attackers Yang Hyo-Jin and Hayley Spelman have been rather poor in the spiking department recently. At the beginning of the season, I was quite surprised they didn't recruit more youngsters from the draft to strengthen the outside hitter and libero position. Hyundai's squad consisting only of 15 players compared with the other teams who had 18 or 19 players. The back-up in those two positions is rather thin and any injury in either of those two positions would be disastrous as it is the case.
I can't see Heungkuk catching up to GS either. GS are currently leading Heungkuk by 9 points and all GS needs is one more 3 or 4 sets win to rule out any chance Heungkuk have of overtaking them.

Looks like interesting. May i know the reason why they are increasing the invitation of foreign players? In the first place they are only getting 1 foreign players so why invite lot of them?
2nd. Not sure what you mean on the last sentence. Are they inviting asian players? Like japan league where the team can get another foreign players from asia aside from foreign player that they can get from try out?
Firstly, it says in some of the reports that the teams want to expand their options with the increase of invitees. Another advantage that I can think of is that the teams would have a larger pool of players to find a replacement from if the foreign player they drafted get injured later on.
Secondly, yes they are planning to introduce something similar to what the Japanese league did two seasons ago. But from what I can gather so far is that is it could potentially include other Asian countries or countries under the Asian Volleyball Confederation (e.g. Iran, Australia, Kazakhstan, Thailand) and not be limited to only players from ASEAN countries like the Japanese.
I apologised if I have confused you with the Player, Quarter and Quota thing. This is because the Korean articles kept using the word "아시아 쿼터" (romanised = Asia kwoteo) which Google translate it into "Asian Quarter", which doesn't make sense. Bing translate "쿼터" (kwoteo) part into "Quarter" or "Quota". Personally I think Bing's translation here of "Asian Quota" sound more correct.

News Update:
Some of the relevant news relating to women's competition from today KOVO board meeting:
- The 2020-2021 V-League will play 6 rounds from October 17, 2020, to April 4, 2021. One important change to next season for the women will be the introduction of Friday nights whilst Monday and Thursday will be their rest day. Also, the current start time for the women's match remains unchanged with 19:00 KST start time on weekdays and 16:00 KST start time on weekends.
- The All-Star game will take place after the end of Round 4.
- 2020 KOVO Cup will be held in Jecheon from August 22 to September 5. I'm assuming this period is inclusive of the men's tournament too as last year KOVO Cup for the women took place over 8 days.
- The women's foreign players tryout will be held in Prague, Czech Republic over 4 days (previously only 3 days) from May 10-13, 2021. Also, the number of players to be invited will increase from 30 to 40.
- The introduction of the Asian Player/Quarter (maybe Quota?) and the women's team salary cap have still not been decided and left to the next board meeting.
