The roster for the men's national volleyball team, which will prepare for major international tournaments this year including joint training with the Chinese national team, has been partially finalized.

The Korea Volleyball Association announced on the 22nd that it has selected 14 national team players excluding those from Hyundai Capital and will begin full-scale national team operations.

The roster includes setters Hwang Taek-ui (KB Insurance) and Kim Kwan-woo (Korean Air), liberos Jang Ji-won (KB Insurance) and Kim Young-jun (Woori Card), middle blockers Lee Sang-hyun (Woori Card), Cha Young-seok (KB Insurance), and Choi Jun-hyuk (Korean Air), and Park Chang-seong (OK Savings Bank).

Additionally, outside hitters Jeong Han-yong and Im Jae-young (both from Korean Air), Im Sung-jin (KB Insurance), and Lee Woo-jin (Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance), as well as opposites Im Dong-hyuk (Korean Air) and Jang Chi-hwan (OK Savings Bank), have been awarded the national team jersey.

Players from Hyundai Capital will join the national team starting in June due to their schedule for the Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) Champions League.

The 14 initially selected players will report to the National Athletes Village in Jincheon, Chungbuk, on the 4th of next month to begin training. From the 25th to the 31st, they will travel to Ningbo, China, for a training camp where they will conduct joint training and exhibition matches with the Chinese national team.

The Nam Ja-bae-gu (CEO) team, led by head coach Isanaye Ramirez (Brazil), is preparing to compete in the AVC Cup, East Asian Championship, Asian Championship, and the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, this year.

The Nam Ja-bae-gu (CEO) team aims to secure a spot for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics through the Asian Championship and to win its first gold medal at the Asian Games in eight years since the 2016 Doha (Qatar) tournament.
