Korean Air has additionally recruited new coach Hwang Dong-il.
After last season, Korean Air chose to say goodbye to head coach Tommy Tilikainen and started a new game. Brazil coach Henan and coach Rafael were ambitiously recruited, and team legend coach Shin Young-soo was appointed in a surprise move. In addition to that, Hwang Dong-il, who played as a top setter in men's volleyball, was also recruited.
The new coach Hwang Dong-il played as a main setter in various teams, including Korean Air, and has gained coaching experience in professional teams even after retirement. In addition, as a former Korean Air player, he is expected to play a role as a bridge between the new coach and the team due to his high understanding of the team and excellent communication skills with the players.
Coach Henan also expressed high expectations in a preliminary interview with coach Hwang Dong-il, saying, `We need a leader who knows the field well to run a stable team and foster setters in the long term.'
