Ku Min-jung

Ku Min-jung (; born August 25, 1973, in Jeollabuk-do) is a retired South Korean volleyball player. She represented South Korea in two editions of the Olympic Games (2000 and 2004), and also often played as an outside hitter and attacker. Ku was also a member of the South Korea women's national volleyball team who attained a great success in the late 1990s and early 2000s, capturing two silver medals each at the Asian Men's Volleyball Championship (1993 and 1997) and at the Asian Games (1998 and 2002). After suffering a heavy defeat in the quarterfinals, the South Korean squad finished eighth in a classification round match against Croatia with a set score of 1–3.

When South Korea hosted the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, Ku helped the South Koreans capture the silver medal in a final match against China with a set score of 1–3.

At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Ku qualified for the second time as a member and captain of the South Korean squad in the women's volleyball tournament after receiving an automatic berth from the Asian Championships. Unable to improve a fair performance from Sydney, she and the rest of the South Korean team were defeated in the quarterfinal match against Russia with a unanimous set score of 0–3 (17–25, 15–25, 22–25). Ku was also appointed as the flag bearer for Korea, along with former basketball coach Kim Sung-Ho, under a joint march in the opening ceremony.
