Regarding other members of the expedition:

Cheon who was suppose to climb Lhotse and Everest had accident in Korea and could not join the expedition.

The expedition leader Joo stayed in BC.

Another member Whang, who was suppose to climb Lhotse and Everest, did not try on Lhotse but summited Everest.

Members Kang, Kim Jun-Woo, Kim Kwang-Jun, Kim Myung-Sun, Kwae, Lee Jung-Ho, Lee Won-Ruk, Sung, Yoo including climbing leader Jun touched C2 but did not sleep there. They were exhausted.

The initial plan was to have five Sherpas to work on both mountains but the five Sherpas worked only with Everest team. So there was no Sherpas working for Lhotse team.
