I don't have the complete answer, but I have enough fragments to make a good guess.
* The national team (boys and girls juniors) is managed by the Korea Golf Association.
* Every January(except recently), there's a two or three-week "boot camp" for the whole team...and it's a large squad. For instance, a 2011 pic shows 36 girls on one side of a room and almost as many boys on the other side.
* I don't know if the players are invited to the team or if they have to apply to the team.
* I assume the players are being scouted for their suitability in various international competitions later in the year.
Based upon this photo, the camp is near the SW tip of Jeju island...on 1/23/2011 they assembled for a hike up Mt. Sanbangsan (395m high)...
...and I think Jin Young Ko was there (left)
2007: A running fitness test. I'm positive that's Jung Min Lee on the far right. I think Soo Jin Yang is in the middle, the 9th player from the right.
2011...more fitness
2009...more fitness
2013...more fitness
2012...more fitness...I think that's Sun Woo Bae
2011...they get to swing their clubs once in a while...probably Hyo Joo Kim
The 2014 camp was in March and ran for 10 days...I don't know if that's a permanent change. So Yeong Lee is on the left, who played the 2015 KLPGA Jump Tour
12/22/2008 - at Korea Nat'l Univ...I'm guessing this is the orientation/registration for the Jan. 2009 camp. In the front row, I see Hana Jang, Je Yoon Yang, and Jung Eun Han. Sei Young Kim is in row 2.
Hye Yong Choi (red fleece) visits the 2011 camp...HJ Kim on far right and I think that's In Gee Chun to the right of the screen.
SJ Yang visits 2012 camp
