WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF..
This team is absolutely hopeless.. what are they doing there? I don't see any improvements. I don't see them motivated. I don't see them trying. They just stare at themselves like a deer in headlights when something goes wrong.
Such a shameful moment.
Display MoreJust saw this today on IG. The list of players for WCH.
Setter: Kim Ha Kyung, Yeum Hye Seon
Libero: Kim Yeon Gyeon, Han Da Hye
Middle Blocker: Park EunJin, Lee Da Hyeon, Lee Ju Ah
Opposite: Ha Hye Jin
Outside Hitter: Park Jeong Ah, Park Hyemin, Yoo Seo Yeon, Lee Seon Woo, Pyo Seung Ju, Hwang Min Kyeong.
Thoughts?
First, Kim Ha Kyung as setter... idk about this. She did well last season but making her national debut on WCH is a little weird. And per usual, Kim Dain continues to be ignored (the Ahn Hyejin erasure too).
Ha Hyejin as the lone Opposite when she's barely played as one in Pepper, and she's mostly benched in Hi-pass before she left the team scares me a bit. She was good during the 2019 World Cup though against teams like Kenya.
Also, I am a Pyo Seung Ju apologist so I'm OK with her here
(SK team needs a senior player good with teamwork and cheerleading lol)
I just hope they do a little better compared to VNLs. Can't believe I paid for a VNL pass to see team Korea lose all games. I just justified it by cheering for Team Thailand
I'm vehemently against PSJ. She adds absolutely no value to the team...
Not really a good start.. I am so frustrated with seeing Pyo Seung Joo on this team..
Honestly, Coach Cesar must be desperate..
I'm hoping the team is just saving their energy and not trying to get hurt..
Super interesting.. Korea lost to Thailand but beat Japan and Australia..
You just never know with these games.. though, Thailand has home ground advantage..
Sorry but KHJ sucks. She's past her prime, way past earlier than KYK.
I'm glad Cesar recognizes it and sticks to it.
The Korean coaches don't know crap... sorry...
I highly agree that the AVC needs to create more championships for the Asian countries to garner more points..
Subong and DongHyeok are powerful. Both of these guys need to get international attention. I'm hopeful they're going to make big impact at the AVC.
I'm sorry the women's team always have injuries... I don't mean to be not understanding, but do the female players not know how to handle their own bodies? So many injuries left and right..
I honestly don't mind that Kang So Hwi is out... I don't like her character and her play style.. I prefer Lee So Young and Jung Ji Yeon over her any day..
Turkey has taller players than Korea so the Korean team will need to play smart and break through in the attacks..
So, Korea vs. Turkey... interesting... I say Korea will win..
Three young rising stars to look out for:
Im Donghyeok/임동혁 (Right)
1999.03.09
200cm/91kg
Park Kyungmin/박경민 (Libero)
1999.06.05
170cm/64kg
Lim Sungjin/임성진 (Left)
1999.01.11
195cm/85kg
Korean roster under Coach Do Hun Im is:
Watch all Volleyball Challenger Cup 2022 matches live on Volleyball TV.
Thanks.. If that the case, then there is a chance that women's teams may be relegated in the future. So-so performances with no standout players. Before, there were twins (not Kim level, but surely better than the current players). Kim Heejin is popular, but her skills right now just…. My hope for JJY to become the next ace.
I’m curious about how great Han SeonSu is. Obtaining a 1.08 billion krw contract. I'd never seen any men's V-league matches before. But his skills should be worth the money
He's definitely the old timer but he's one of the best setters in Korea.
They haven't had any achievements that can match the women's team during KYK's peak at the same time they also don't have a superstar player that can be of international interest. Simply put they are not yet at the level of a stable team and they're only starting to build their own foundation as a team.
I'm not a fan of Coach Im he doesn't seem intent to improve the team's offense but I don't know any other who would be a better option than him at the moment.
Im Donghyeok is really good. I feel like he's going to have a lot going for him. He's built differently than other spikers in Korea. He may become the Ishikawa of Korea, in terms of popularity and notice.
Good experience for both sides!
I'd rather choose the younger, inexperienced players over PSJ. Still holding to it. LOL.
I ve seen this pic when I googled him. Of course it doesn't prove anything, and they could be just friends
LOL, I'm more than sure they're just friends.. culturally, Asian guys have these type of bonds together (may seem "gay" from a Westerner's POV which I get)
Everything will be well when you’re ulzzang in Korea
. Featured in famous magazines and also TV show appearances during his rookie pro year. For sure, he will be the "franchise star" for his club. But… he’s really attractive
. The face that Koreans prefer.
There is something that I always wonder about. Why is KR's men's team not a core team like their women’s team?
What do you mean by core? Like, not as popular? Or not as good? LOL..
She will be bench player. There's Kang Sohwi, Park Jeongah, and Jung Jiyoon. My prediction is that KSH and PJA will be the starting OH with JJY as the OPP.
I'm just glad that JJY is back. She can do some damage, hopefully..
16 names for World Championships announced and thank goodness Kim Hee Jin isn't on the roster (sorry but not sorry) but annoyed that Pyo Seungjoo is on (she's horrible, again.. sorry but not sorry):
