Korea's women's volleyball coach expressed optimism that his team will secure a medal at the upcoming Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, citing the team's progress following their first training session in Japan. Coach Cha Sang-hyun noted that the squad is focused and determined for the competition. Since their last appearance in the Asian Games, the team has not advanced beyond the quarterfinals.
The Korean team recently arrived in Japan to kick off their quest to reclaim a medal from the Asian Games, which commence on Saturday. Korea will compete against Hong Kong, Qatar, and Vietnam in Pool D during the preliminary round. The top two teams from each of the four groups will move on to the quarterfinals. At the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, Korea suffered a loss to Vietnam in their opening match and ultimately failed to reach the medal phase, marking the first time since 2006 that Korea did not claim an Asian Games medal.
