Gwangju Plays Host to International Professional Volleyball Tournament

Where in Korea can you find people taller than 200 cm (about 6’7”)? Not many places. However, if you happened upon Yeomju Gymnasium in Gwangju between June 22 and 24, you would have seen more tall men than probably exist throughout the rest of the country combined. The screaming teenage girls waiting outside the locker rooms for a glimpse (or even a photo!) were in on this secret.
