Actually, I did link to this Korea Times article over in the KBO News forum last night which mentions Lee Seung-yeop and Park Chan-ho as being reserves.
I had read before that Lee Seung-yeop was going to be left off the roster in an earlier news article - which kind of struck me as odd considering how well he did at the previous WBC and in the Olympic qualifiers. This announcement puts him back on as a possibility, but it's still not certain if he'll be on the final squad.
I'm wondering, are there concerns about Lee facing his current boss?

I believe the issue with Lee is that the Giants want him to concentrate on the CL after missing so much of the 2008 season. It doesn't hurt that he is a killer in international competition -- with the exception of the 2003 Asian Championships, when his silent bat helped keep South Korea out of the 2004 Olympics.
